Kevin Kelly's "Cool Tools" comes in three different forms: as a website, as a traditional book, and as a PDF digital book.

A descendant of the Whole Earth Catalog, Cool Tools is a resource for extraordinary and sometimes little-known tools. Because items for Cool Tools are selected with an experienced and discerning eye, everything reviewed here is great...there's no fluff.

But Cool Tools does more than just foster your lust for new gadgets and tools--it opens a world of possibilities to interesting new hobbies or projects. You might not be planning to build a house boat, but isn't it interesting to know it's an option?!

Website, free; $3.50 for downloadable (and hot-linked) PDF of the 2003 book; $20 for the paperback book from Amazon.
