Jao's old blog[1] is a treasure trove of information. Modern Lisp hackers like him, Zach Beane and Edi Weitz are great representatives for the Lisp community: incredibly talented and yet very humble and more than willing to help out those just starting out in Lisp.

http://programming-musings.org
is full of Scheme goodness, and he has another site devoted to Emacs hacks at
