I'm a big fan of having dezeen, archdaily, and design boom as my home pages when i fire up chrome. usually i find at least one or two fairly inspirational projects posted in the last couple of days.
problem is, there's usually a dearth of technical drawings - which I understand that most firms want to protect. that being said, there HAS to be something on the lines of detail magazine (no not THAT detail magazine... the german one http://www.detail-online.com/) but... free? maybe i'm wrong. blogs are great too. any suggestions are great. Yes, i know there are some fantastic reference materials out there but i'm more looking for something with cutting edge/unusual technical details and drawings.

Lots of nice drawings, although a bit light on details...

Sometimes Archidose has nice detail drawings too.

Architect's Newspaper is pretty good about publishing technical drawings with all of their projects. Check out their Fabrikator and Facades sections.

I use Feedley to get my architecture fixes - would highly recommend the Chrome plug-in.
