This is actually a section of a blog by Kevin Kelly, one of the founders of WIRED magazine. "A cool tool can be any book, gadget, software, video, map, hardware, material, or website that is tried and true. I am chiefly interested in stuff that is extraordinary, better than similar products, little-known, and reliably useful for an individual or small group." There are links, but as far as I can tell they're just informational -- there isn't a "store" on the web site to buy it all, so rather than pushing stuff he can make money on, it's all simply cool stuff that he simply likes. It's all well-categorized so you can find a huge variety of "tools" that are actually useful. Cool! From This is True for 13 November 2005 Suggestions for further reading:

Muir Amazon Price: $16.49 Customer Review: I've built several of these projects, using the electronics but designing my own graphics and containers. The circuits are clear and function properly. I adapt them for soldered circuit boards and that works well. I'd recommend this book highly.  by Robert Iannini Amazon Price: $16.47 Customer Review: Great Product! Tons of great electronic projects with fairly easy to follow instructions. One of the better Evil Genius book. Thanks!  by Robert Iannini, Robert Iannini Amazon Price: $16.47 Customer Review: For someone who knows what they're doing, this book can be a lot of fun. If you want to go from components to soldering to get a safe fun toy this isn't the book for you. Yes, if you use the author's website as your sole part source this...  Amazon Price: $14.93 Customer Review: My 8 year old son is fascinated with this book. We got stuck on the first experiment, but that didn't stop him. Newsfeed display by CaRP |
