'cool shit'

who defines that? The reader.

'cool shit' could be about how you feel in a relationship, how you just cooked The Best Food Ever, how your pet made you laugh, a joke, an insightful sentence / paragraph that you read, something you saw, something you felt.

Just write.

If it is useful to you, then just write.

I interpreted that differently. 'Cool shit' is whatever the author thinks is cool. The internet lets other people who are interested in the same stuff find the stuff that you find cool and wrote about, too.

I'd add a third step. "Make cool Shit, put it on the internet, then write something about it."

keep your stick on the ice!

skookum!
