Lanternflies, though pretty, have become an increasingly present and destructive force for crops in the eastern US and it’s anticipated that they will spread across the country. In response to the growing hazard and financial impact, a team of students in the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University created TartanPest, an autonomous robot that moves through potentially infested areas on a microtractor base, uses computer vision to identify the insect’s egg masses and uses its robotic arm to remove the masses from the trees and objects they are attached to, preventing them from hatching. Read more about the invention at Carnegie Mellon University's website.

75 vitamins, minerals, prebiotics and probiotics, phytonutrients, mushrooms, plant extracts, adaptogenic herbs and antioxidants go into Athletic Greens' AG1, packing a lot of punch in a small packet that's easy to travel with and even easier to use—just add it to a glass of water and shake (or stir) to start your day. We've found it to be the perfect way to offset some of the effects of traveling frequently—not always eating the way we can at home, sometimes missing a meal or not not taking care of ourselves as well as we should. AG1 supports your immunity, nervous system, gut and microbiome. The travel pack includes 30 days worth, and it's also available in a pouch if you want to start your day at home off right for less money. Subscriptions are also available, which further reduce the price.

In 2019 we were invited by Ferrari to participate in their Tailor Made customization program with the encouragement to expand and explore the use of colors, materials and finishes further than the luxury automaker has ever done before. We had just returned from our CH Japan trip, and as we were still inspired by indigo and traditional Japanese crafts we decided to bring some of the artisans in from our Omakase collaborations to help create our dream car. The video we share here (long version linked in bio) tells the story of how we transformed our inspirations and passions into a Ferrari Roma unlike any other. We didn’t begin our journey with the intention of creating an Italian-Japanese love story, but we most certainly ended it that way. The Ferrari Roma Tailor Made, Specially Crafted for COOL HUNTING conveys the nuance of craft we employed and the ease of our partnership with Ferrari. After years in development, we’re so excited to share this project—especially as it makes appearances in the US until it ends up with one lucky owner.
