Kevin Kelly's Cool Tools list is one of my favorites; it features short blurbs about products that are both useful and innovative. I've also read quite a few of Kelly's books, including the insightful Out of Control. It's long, but draws you in, and its the sort of book that alters your perception of life and humanity.
Anyway, given all this, I'm delighted to discover that Smart Home Hacks has made the cool tool list. What a treat for me!
