Not so dumb

I can’t speak for “little.”

I’m talking about the blog, Dumb Little Man.

To tell you the truth, I don’t know who is behind this blog.  There’s no “About” page that I can find.  There’s no entry in Wikipedia.

All I know is the content.

(UPDATE: Thanks to my good friend, Michelle, for finding the “About” page.  Here it is!)

The subheading of the blog is “Tips for Life.”

That’s what’s in it.

Tips.

Tips for motivation, for increasing creativity,  for organizing your life, simplifying it, making it better.

Almost all of them are good advice.  Clear, cogent, well-written.  The site is well-designed.  Easy to read.  Easy to search.

The headlines to each post are masterful.  “Ten ways to do this.”  “Thirty secrets to that.”  I’m a sucker for lists, so I love that.  I figure, in a list of ten, there will almost certainly be at least one useful thing.

I like this blog so much, it’s one of the ones I have emailed to me on a daily basis.  And that I actually read.  There are a few blogs I get because they seemed promising, but now I skim the subject line and delete more often than not.  But I read Dumb Little Man.  I save a few of them.  Implementation…that’s another story, but we can always hope.

I could go on citing examples, but I’d really rather you went on over to Dumb Little Man and spent your reading time there.

It will do you more good.
