My Cooking Diary ( over here) is an online diary created by Sharon Hwang and Mike Matas to catalog every meal they ate on a nine day trip along the west coast from Vancouver to San Francisco. It's got great drawings and beautiful photographs. Mike Matas worked on the iPhone and then started Push Pop Press and developed the first full length interactive book for iPad using pinch-and-place navigation. The book is "Our Choice", the sequel to Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth". He did an amazing TED talk about the book here. Some people are just so full of good ideas and creativity it makes you take heart!

Cool Hunting


I went searching for an app called "Cool Hunter" and found this video on Ian Hundley talking about his quilts, and this soothing video of Venice Beach posted on The Cool Hunter today. I remember reading a New Yorker article a few years back about this new thing called "coolhunting". Well, judging by all the stuff you get when you google those words that term is pretty well embedded in our culture and language at this point in time. When you check out The Cool Hunter, PLEASE look at the hilarious video on Iceland (posted 2/28/11). Talk about promoting a country!!! And then there is coolhunting.com, here, which brings me full circle to the place where the app came from.
