Blender Underground has a really good list with blend files made to solve several doubts by users in the forums around.
Really good to keep to yourself and to study. =)
I'm an Animation Professor at LUCA School of Arts, campus C-mine in Genk, Belgium. I teach at the Re:Anima Joint Master in Animation and I'm a senior researcher at the Inter-Actions Research Unit. My research interests include philosophy of Technics, power relations inscribed in and reinforced by technical objects, and decolonial perspectives in animation. Previously, I was an Animation Professor at Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG), in Brazil. MFA and PhD by the Graduate Program in Arts at EBA/UFMG. I'm also a free software advocate, animator, rigger and I also like to code. You can see some of my works and know a bit more about me at:

I've written a book about Rigging and Animation in Blender for Packt Publishing. You can get the files here.
Yes, I had a blog. Haven't updated it since 2011. Anyway, if you need something from there I have kept backwards compatibility and you can read it below.

Really good to keep to yourself and to study. =) If you're in a need of a video to demonstrate that Blender feature, or even learn about what this powerful app allow you to do, now we have a cool new resource: http://www.weeklyblender.blogspot.com/ On that blog, which intends to give us fresh stuff regularly, we can download all videos in a pretty decent resolution (720p). It is amazing what you can do with lots of money for publicity. Fantastic, isn't it? I want one... =)
Sometime ago I saw this great post by T. Benjamin Larsen. Its purpose is to show how fundamental is to choose the right visuals for your narrative. On that post, you can see how NOT to do it. =) Even the inspired speech by John F. Kennedy can be ruined by a bad (a.k.a. MS Powerpoint) visual narrative. His blog has some other cool things, like this post that questions some "super" things ;) Yesterday I went to a inspiring movie session dedicated to Norman McLaren shorts. I already knew some of them, like the great classic Neighbours, but the majority of them was new to me. His experimental work was always ahead of his time, with innovations on both the technique and narration style. It is not what most people think of animation, but I think his work is truly genious. =) Look at a short documentary on his way of working:
And now, some of the shorts screened yesterday that I found online:
