Cool to the Max

I just heard about Days with My Father. (I was initially confused about how to use it, too- just scroll down).
Wow.
It is an incredibly moving photo essay with captions. Worth your time.

I also just heard about trendwatching.com - a free online digest of trends that's tracked by a giant global team of trendspotters.

Also, my new favorite blog is thecoolhunter.net. Basically, this guy's job is to hear about cool stuff and blog about it. Like this Christmas installation in Paris, above. Or this:

The Snowtunnel. So hot right now. Or what about this:

The National Geographic International Photo Contest 2009. Thanks, Cool Hunter, for the tip! PS You can still vote in the NatGeo Viewers' Choice Award category. Or this:

Somewhere in Nairobi, my Satty is having a heart attack.

I know. Brace yourselves, people. This stuff is seriously cool.

Also hot:

The Mini Goes Neon. My head is about to explode with Coolness!

A kitchen made of Legos!!! Too much!!! Too much coolness!!! I can't take it!
