Hourly dose of cool stuff

Cooln.es is a site dedicated to finding all the fun, cool, and interesting news stories on the web, moment to moment. Every few minutes we assault the internet with an all-consuming, news-powered robot that records everything hot and exciting on the web, rejecting anything that doesn't make the cut (well, kinda'... It falls to the bottom of the list). Then we use extremely advanced mathematical trickery (read: averaging) to give you three new and interesting ways to kill WAY too much time, and distract you from all that pesky "work" you might have had to do otherwise.
Enjoy!
