One-man IT department collaboration/innovation

Experts,

As a one-man IT department in a medium-sized company, I have been looking for ways to stay sharp and increase information sharing and collaboration with other IT pros.

I was wondering what kind of publications you read as well as conferences, training, forums, and communities you have found most helpful.  Experts Exchange has been awesome for specific issues (thanks EE) and I read all of the free news I can find on the internet but it's hard to match having other IT pros to bounce ideas and to bring new insight to issues.

Any suggestions on the following:

- Publications (online or printed, paid is ok)
- Conferences/Training/Seminars (preferably in LA area)
- Online communities or forums

Also any other tech news websites that you have found to be good, especially business-centered ones.  I read Google News, Wired, Lifehacker, Businessweek Tech, Fortune Tech, Engadget, Gizmodo, PC magazine.  Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Ben

Miscellaneous

A miscellany is defined as a "collection of various pieces of writing by different authors", but it has come to mean something "Of items gathered or considered together of various types or from different sources" or "a collection or group composed of members or elements of different kinds". The word "miscellaneous" comes from the Latin word "miscere", meaning "to mix." You might have heard the expression "a mixed bag," which applies when you don't quite know what you're going to get. More commonly, a miscellaneous group is made up of an odd group of things that don't fit anywhere else.
