SOB Hall of Fame Entry: Advice Library by Oystein Lund

The Man with the Answers

Advice Library Logo

Oystein Lund, editor of the Advice Library, is a relentless researcher. He has no fear of finding his way through the labyrinth of Wikipedia. At the Advice Library, you’ll find posts that mash up information from wildly different sources to fuel your idea bank. And he’s happy to answer questions you have about how things work, if you can’t find the answers already posted there. Besides that he’s a great conversationalist, and his writing is actually easy to read.

Notes from Liz: SOB Oystein Lund’s blog is as eclectic, fun, and insightful as the man who writes it. If you’ve been around Successful Blog at all these past few weeks, you’ve had to have caught the depth of his knowledge and his willingness to search out the answers. If not, check his comments on the Wikipedia post (this one is just the start read on down a while), and you’ll see in a flash that he’s the “go to” guy for information — especially when you’re easily overwhelmed or don’t know where to start.

While I was the kid in kindergarten helping other kids zip up their jackets and untie knots in shoelaces, Oystein was showing the other kids all of the cool things in and out of the library that every kid would find fascinating.
