The Cool Hunter is a website, www.thecoolhunter.net, that finds all things "cool". It was started in 2004 by Bill Tikos. The website is full of things that are cool in all areas of life: architecture, design, fashion, stores, hotels, etc. Since it's inception however it has begun to unite the creative world as a place for people to show their work and be inspired by other people's work. It is now not just a website, but a community. Every time I visit, I find something that is amazing, and I want to be there right then. But I also get kind of angry at the same time, because most of the "cool" things on the websites are ordinary things that have been transformed by creativity. It makes me mad that not everyone can think like this, but instead we are left with ordinary mundane things all around us in life that just need a little creativity to become extraordinary. Often this change will require little to no extra money, and in some cases, could even same money and energy. I will be posting a few of my favorite things from this website so, like TED, I wanted to set the groundwork before I start rambling about my obsessions.
