I am just looking for some cool and useful LaTex extensions.

Places to look:

• The TeX Catalogue. This part of the TeX Catalogue eventually will list all packages available from the “Comprehensive TeX Archive Network”, or CTAN, for using plain TeX, LaTeX, ConTeXt, and Omega by topic. We also try to give some advice that might help you in getting software and guides not available on CTAN
• (La)Tex Navigator

General:

• KOMA-Script: The KOMA-Script bundle provides drop-in replacements for the article/report/book classes with emphasis on typography and versatility. There is also a letter class, different from all other letter classes. It also offers e.g. a package for calculated type areas in the way laid down by the typographer Jan Tschichold, a package for easily changing and defining of page styles, a package for getting not only the current date but also the name of day and a package for getting current time. All these packages may be used not only with KOMA-Script classes but also with standard classes.
• hyperref The hyperref package is used to handle cross-referencing commands in LaTeX to produce some sort of hypertext command; there are backends for the \special set defined for HyperTeX dvi processors, for embedded pdfmark commands for processing by Acrobat Distiller (dvips and dvipsone), for dviwindo, for pdfTeX, for dvipdfm, for TeX4ht, and for VTeX’s pdf and HTML backends. The authors are Heiko Oberdiek and Sebastian Rahtz

Chemistry:

• ochem Unfortunately, the LaTeX support is much better for mathematicians than for chemists, so I have decided to write a package for typesetting chemical formula within LaTeX documents. The means of choice for this highly graphical project is the PostScript language, so a first package (independent of LaTeX) purely written in PostScript was created.

Indexing:
