Documentaries

For those of you that are looking for some ideas of documentaries to watch, Kevin Kelly (founder of Wired) has put together an eBook of "200 documentaries you must see before you die". Since we've gotten a Netflix membership, we've been on the lookout for good documentaries, and this book is chock full of suggestions.

Some time ago, my brother turned me on to Kevin Kelly's Cool Tools list. It's a list of, well, cool tools. In Kevin Kelly's own words:

Cool tools really work. A cool tool can be any book, gadget, software, video, map, hardware, material, or website that is tried and true. All reviews on this site are written by readers who have actually used the tool and others like it. Items can be either old or new as long as they are wonderful. We only post things we like and ignore the rest. Suggestions for tools much better than what is recommended here are always wanted.

It's a list worth putting on your RSS reader, as are some of his other online publications. Or you can get a conglomeration of all his blogs with Kevin Kelly's lifestream.
