No one coins a phrase like William Gibson.
And, I’m pretty sure he at least popularized the phrase “cool hunter” in his book Pattern Recognition. Well, now Cayce Pollard can take a vacation because there’s a website to help her out called, of course, Cool Hunter. (For those of you who haven’t read the book, Cayce is a cool hunter. Oh, and, uh, go read the book!) And, I have to admit, the stuff on this site is, well, cool.
Like, for instance, Pleasure Cards. They’re the opposite of business cards. They’re name cards with contact info for when you “network” at a very social event and don’t want to use your work information as contact info. Very cool idea, really.

So, go check out what else they’ve hunted up!
