Sites unseen.

Update: this is what happens when you post at 2:00 a.m. With corrections and apologies to Dan, I fixed the link below to his blog.

Aka, blogs you may not know about that are worth checking out. (I always hated it when music critics would say ‘Bands you should be listening to,” making me feel even less hip for not knowing about them in the first place. So I will not put that pressure on you, I just won’t.)

The Franklin Blog – Billed as tales of woe from the black guy in the office, I first came across it on MultiCult. This creative from Cleveland takes a look at advertising stereotypes that some audiences may not be hip to.

Carb Free Creativity – Found just this Friday on Yonder Ponder, but sometimes you read a blog and immediately dig the way people think about things. Like these two interactive dudes.

Thought Gadgets From the media side comes a POV on advertising better than most marketing blogs from non-creatives. (Having worked with Ben, he’s the first media person I’ve met who really has the bigger brand picture in mind.)


Dan Balser – Dan from the Creative Circus has a blog. It’s good. Like, better than most good. Simple thoughts simply written. His podcast? That’s good too. Especially this episode.

Hey Bill,
Thanks for the kudos! I really appreciate it. But you have the link connected to my name going to a fine blog called Carb Free Creativity. My blog, the Headline-A-Day Page, is here: http://danbalser.blogspot.com/
I hope you still like it.
Dan
