Cool links are a collection of interesting things I find around the web. They can range from fun dumb websites to deep thought-provoking essays, or more commonly something in between. The feed here updates frequently, and I compile everything into a blog post on the last day of each month.
7 links from December 2025
I usually love these videos that deal with the scale of things, and getting one from MKBHD was a surprise for sure, but a welcome one.
It’s incredible how far technology has come, and it’s a testament of how humans can achieve incredible things when we want to.
Another great page by Neal Agarwal; this one lets you see life in all its different sizes.
This website is so cool! It’s the kind of thing that you’d imagine was a personal website, but it’s actually a marketing page! A marketing team actually sat down and planned this out! I thought no such thing as fun marketing existed. Glad to be proven wrong.
CSS is my favorite language and 2025 was amazing for it! The Chrome team built this page highlighting all the new exciting stuff that happened to CSS this year. I’ve used some of it but sadly still have to wait for other browsers to catch up before doing it on any serious work 😭
I recommend opening this in a Chromium-based browser so you can try it out firsthand, but there are video recordings of the features in case you’re unable to.
Neat little daily browser puzzle game where you use clues to find out who’s a criminal and who’s innocent.
The greatest in-camera effect of all time (video)
Ok, this video is amazing. Corridor Crew recreates the amazing practical effects from the first Lord of the Rings movie (the forced perspective ones with Gandalf and the hobbits), but not only that, there’s amazing storytelling on how it was made, all the cinema history before it, and why it has never been done again since then.
Great post about how clients hire experts to solve a problem, then completely ignore their expertise and try to copy what the big ones do. But they’re not big.
The “f*** off contact page” concept is amazing, too. It’s 100% real and out there, with more and more companies doing it (either intentionally or by just wanting to copy what others do).
Also, Nic Chan’s website is a treasure. It’s already been featured as a cool link here before but I wanted to point it out again. So cool!
