Remember Cool Site of the Day? There was a time when it was one of the hottest sites on th Web, and every webmaster aspired to a listing there. Then CSOTD lost it’s vision, went commercial, became bloated and uninspiring.

But that doesn’t mean there aren’t still cool sites out there. Matt Welch and wife Emmanuelle Richard both scored with great links today.

Matt tells us about CaliforniaCoastline.org. Check it out, and then check out the following three links:

Here’s my neighborhood.

Here’s the dorm I lived in during my freshman year of college.

And in this picture, if you know what you’re looking for, you can find the apartment building I once lived in and the former office of The Beacon, a community weekly I used to co-own.

From Emmanuelle we get a lesson in how clueless some people are about satire (read the letter’s page). Warning, don’t click this link if you have a humor deficit and don’t think subtle digs at passive racism are funny.

So, dear readers, today you get two cool sites for the price of one.
