Steve's blog is arguably the most original.
Zenhabits.net is very good, when Leo is writing. I'm not a fan of some of his guest posters. I also think he repeats some of his material some times, but that's hard to avoid in PD. Everyone does it.
I like Brian Tracy's blog, but that's mostly just because I like Brian Tracy.
Chrisguillebeau.com is a unique blog.
Ramit Sethi's Iwillteachyoutoberich.com is original.
Those are just a few off my head.
I don't want to sound like a hater. I think many people who start PD blogs have good intentions and their heart is in the right place. It's perfectly fine and often the person will motivate themselves to follow their goals because they write so much about PD. But I don't think everyone is really meant to teach PD, just like not everyone is meant to teach Calculus or landscape architecture.
I thought of starting a PD blog once. And I'm sure it would have been good. But I'm not very passionate about the idea, and I'd bet only about 10% of my posts would have been original and spectacular, because I'm not passionate about writing PD material. It's gotta be something that gives you an inner fire. For me, I like creating software that does useful things. It's very fun and interesting to me, I'm amazed by what computers can do, and that's what I enjoy teaching others about.
