Cool Things for Cool People: February 2026

Hey folks! If you’re here in the northeastern part of the US, you’re probably like me and waiting for things to thaw out. Problem is, we keep getting dumped on with more snow! This week the temperatures are warming up a teeny tiny bit – just enough for mapling season to start – but not enough to melt the three feet of snow on the ground.

Ever wondered how maple syrup is made? It’s pretty neat and it’s easy to do if you have a maple tree in your own backyard!

Don’t forget – Valentine’s day is just a couple of days away. Send your Valentine some of these cool things… I’m sure they’ll appreciate it. Hope you enjoy!

Hey folks! I feel like I just sent you a batch of cool things, but these days it feels like I blink and two weeks dash right on by. Can you believe it’s almost the spooky season, and then after that it’s the season-we-don’t-name? This year has flown by. I can’t even believe that summer is basically over.

Anyway, I have an exciting little batch for you this month, including some fun freebies and a bunch of upcoming stuff. You ready? Let’s go!

Cool Things for Cool People: August 2025

Welp… I missed last month’s cool things roundup. It’s been so busy. With the world seemingly falling apart, but not ever being able to slow down and stop, sometimes you’re feeling like you’re watching Rome burn… Can’t really do much about it but you’re still a villager having to plow your little field or else your family isn’t going to eat come fall. I also wrote that huge article about AI last month that went viral so I figured the cool things could wait.

Anyway, I missed last month, but I figured that was okay, because I can just add twice as many cool things in this month’s edition. Let’s go!

Cool Things for Cool People: May 2025

The sun is shining and my latest obsession is watching The Murderbot Diaries on Apple TV. I read all the books over the course of a few days before the TV show came out and I am vibrating with anticipation over the next episodes to come. Looks like Martha Wells (the series author) is having a great time too. Sanctuary Moon even got a full opening title sequence this episode (you can watch it unglitched on YouTube). Anyway, Murderbot is pretty cool, but let’s go over a few more cool things for May!

The flowers are all popping out and it’s time for another installment of Cool Things for Cool People! Well, now it’s April, which means here in New England a lot of the trees are blooming, flowers are starting to show, green is the color outside, and seasonal allergies are beginning to take hold. There’s a lot more happening too! Here’s some fun and mildly interesting things:
