Sunday, October 30, 2005Metro Pulse Metro Pulse, Knoxville's Weekly Voice, is a cool online magazine filled with interesting articles, insightful editorials, humorous annecdotes, informative commentry and inspired reading.The error page is equally cool and features a man in a gorilla suit riffling through a file drawer. Check it out. MAIN SITE: http://www.metropulse.com Saturday, October 29, 2005baker-street.net Filling up the internet all by my little self is how Brian describes his blog. It's quite an entertaining and thought provoking way to go about it too. I particularly liked the Thomas The Tank Engine's first meeting with a Bolshi little engine called Karl (June 2002). The error page is a cool little affair as well.MAIN SITE: http://www.baker-street.net Friday, October 28, 2005Artsy Fartsy Now here's that dog who's probably eating all those webpages... erm, that homework! It smells like he's been there a while at any rate.Michelle Conley's "Artsy Fartsy" website is, well, probably dead by all accounts? It's essentially a blog....only that nothing has been written there since Christmas last year. Now that's a long time between drinks! Go there now....while you can! MAIN SITE: http://www.mcaf.com Thursday, October 27, 2005The REG Temple The REG Temple is the coolest website on the internet for Swazi-born British actor Richard E Grant. Then again we HAVE to say that seeing as it's OUR site!Seriously though, if you're into REG then you can't go past his official website. In the error page we've set him up as a petty crook accused of stealing his own webpages. Check it out. MAIN SITE: http://www.richard-e-grant.com Wednesday, October 26, 2005Los Angeles 2019 Los Angeles 2019 is a top Blade Runner website if you're into all things Blade Runnery (which we are). You can learn all about the movie, the cast, the crew, quotes, games, downloads, forums and anything else you can imagine.The error page there is informative and helpful, as well as just plain cool. MAIN SITE: http://www.tyrell-corporation.pp.se Tuesday, October 25, 2005BlogShares BlogShares is one of the hottest sites on the internet right now and it's easy to see why. If you're into online games where you buy stocks and commodities and pump up the share price for the big bucks then BlogShares is the place for you. You literally buy and sell shares in other people's blogs (as well as your own of course).The error page is simple and plays on that age old notion of that dog who's always eating everyone's homework. Of course the text could do with a little padding, but lets not be too fussy! MAIN SITE: http://www.blogshares.com Monday, October 24, 2005Scuba Shack If you can't find the right page at the Scuba Shack then something has probably eaten it...literally!That's the claim made by the people at The Shack anyway and they're sticking to it! Check out the error page and you'll see what we're on about. The site itself is very much a throwback to the 90's, but it works well and that's the main thing! If you're into diving and snorkeling and you plan on going to Hawaii sometime soon the the Scuba Shack should be your first port of call. MAIN SITE: http://www.scubashack.com Sunday, October 23, 2005Diary Of A Volunteer Steve Nash's "Diary Of A Volunteer" website is just that! It chronicles Steve's adventures as a volunteer in Malwi Africa from 1995 to 1997. It's a good lokking site with plenty of interesting stuff to read.Steve's error page is Shakespearian in nature and features a different "insult" each time you refresh. It also has a nice Ska/checkerboard effect happening there. MAIN SITE: http://www.snash.org ERROR PAGE: http://www.snash.org/404 Saturday, October 22, 2005Emily Strange Wow! You can't really get lost at the Emily Strange website. Emily won't let you! The error page has scores of links on it to make sure you can always find your way back to something interesting.And interesting is a very apt word when it comes to this website. If you want some of the coolest clothes on the planet you cannot go past the range at Emily Strange! MAIN SITE: http://www.emilystrange.com Friday, October 21, 2005Thundermaster The Thundermaster website features cool military and aviation videos. That said there's nothing much else here. The navigation is easy but some of the animated gifs tend to slow some pages down a bit.The 404 error page is really cool though, consisting of 3 or 4 JavaScript popup boxes telling you that you're not authorized to see some of the material and that you're being tracked. When you get through all of that you find yourself at a page that's had it's content erased. Very tongue in cheek... MAIN SITE: http://www.thundermaster.com Thursday, October 20, 2005The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy According to the press the hhgttgonline.com website is "the largest Hitchhiker fansite in the world" - and it's not hard to see why! There's something here for any diehard Hitchhiker fan, from games and forums to character bios, quotes, soundbites and pictures.You are presented with two buttons on the error page - a red "Panic" on and a green "Don't Panic" one. Make sure you hit the right one! MAIN SITE: http://www.hhgttgonline.com Wednesday, October 19, 2005Loaded Dice Loaded Dice is another design and media website which designs innovative and creative websites for others. In their own words it's web site design that's accessible!And accessible it is! The site is simple and well thought out and loads very fast! One of the coolest things about this site though is that their error page contains an interactive game that you can play called "Frog Vaders". The game is very similar to Space Invaders so it's easy enough to play. MAIN SITE: http://www.loadeddice.co.uk Tuesday, October 18, 2005Andrew Fox Andrew Fox has a business specializing in interactive design and consultancy. His work is very impressive and he's had some very high profile clientele, including Volvo, BT, Mitsubihi and the BBC.The site is well set out and is nice and crisp, with clear navigation and a modern look. The error page is a nice touch to this simple, yet very effective, website. MAIN SITE: http://www.andrewfox.co.uk Monday, October 17, 2005Stef Stef.net is the website of Stefanie Noble. It is an eclectic collection of links, photographs, multimedia and spoken word audio projects - with the odd bit of blogging as well.According to her site Stef is currently in Ithaca, NY being a graduate student in historic preservation at Cornell University. Her error page states that it is a top secret laboratory conducting research into missing files. Mmmmm, I wonder? MAIN SITE: http://www.stef.net Sunday, October 16, 2005Plinko Plinko is, in some ways, more of a "web portal" than an actual site. All the other sites it links to are decidedly "Plinko" though, including the excellent 404lab (in which this here blog derived it's inspiration).The site layout is distinctive and highly stylized and the error page is just so cool, funny and very very clever. Quoth the server, "404". MAIN SITE: http://www.plinko.net Saturday, October 15, 2005More Freaky More Freaky is a music site with up to date news on the latest dance music, the clubbing scene, dj mixes and reviews. There are also message forums, charts and dance mixes aplenty.The design is simple and straight forward and the color scheme works well, so there's no real chance on getting lost here too often. If you do get lost, however, you'll end up face to face with Mister T on the MoreFreaky error page! MAIN SITE: http://www.morefreaky.com Friday, October 14, 2005Victoria's Secret The Victoria's Secret website is what you would expect it to be - Stylish, informative, professional, fast loading and not too fussy. I should also throw in "easy on the eye".The error page is simple and to the point. It has links to get back to the main parts of the site so you're not stuck on a dead-end 404 page. It matches the main site well and is just different enough from the norm to be included here. MAIN SITE: http://www2.victoriassecret.com Thursday, October 13, 2005Liquid Generation The Liquid Generation site is another professional looking site which is heavily dependent on Flash. You might also want to have a fast connection when accessing this site.Liquid Generation is primarily a video and animation site but it has some cool interactive games as well with some snappy dialog to boot! Check it out when you have a few minutes spare. In contrast to the main site Liquid Generation's 404 error page is a very laid back affair, stylistically. In fact it looks just like your standard error page except for the actual wording of it which is quite funny. MAIN SITE: http://www.liquidgeneration.com Wednesday, October 12, 2005Die-Seite.at It's difficult to say exactly what this site is all about as it's in German (and I don't know any German). It looks like it might be an online dating/meeting site though, with references to "cocktail girls". Some may find the content a little too "adult".Once again the layout of this site is excellent and very professional looking. It's busy - with lots of images and information - but not to busy as to be to the detriment of the viewer as the layout is clean, the colors work well and the pages load fairly quickly. The error page itself changes daily from what we've seen - which is pretty cool if you want to get lost at the site time and time again. MAIN SITE: http://www.die-seite.at Tuesday, October 11, 2005Tromp-la-mort Ernesto Timor's gorgeously designed photographic site is a must for anyone wanting great craftsmanship coupled with evocative imagery. There are many different and fine galleries to look at - some of them rather "adult" in nature - and some of them are referred to by the artist as "albums designed for those who prefer life to categories".Ernesto's 404 error page is simple and understated and is indicative of his artistry.
