Following on from Jon?s blog post about an interesting 404 Error Page, I came across this list of beautiful "Coming Soon" pages.

I think it?s fair to say that this is a neglected area of web design; but these examples show that there is a lot of potential in "Coming Soon" pages for developing interest and collecting user details before a website has even been completed.

What better way to use your dead web space? If you find any more good "Coming Soon" pages, we?d love to see them!

It always amazes me how quickly things on the internets get passed around, I often feel like the last person to know about the newest fad.

What amazes me even more though is the amount of people who piggy back off of a virals success! I have recently stumbled across this 404 page on blippy.com, not only does it illustrate the awesome Guy "Bear" Vasquez and his "Double Rainbow" but also incorporates a little guy in a unicorn suit, could it be referring to this this ?

So what do you think, a bit of fun from blippy.com or a shameless marketing ploy? :D

Having worked with macs for well over 10 years you cannot imagine the joy I felt when Apple released the "Mighty Mouse" and I got my hands on one back in 2006, a nicely designed, usable mouse that had enough functionality to control major tasks just with the buttons on the side of the mouse + it had a scroll ball!

My enjoyment for the product quickly faded as I realised the side buttons became a hindrance more than helpful and the scroll ball was about as reliable as a tabloid horoscope, so far I have broken three or rather, I have had three of these that have broken just through light use.

Now Apple have brought out their "Magic Mouse", a fantastic little piece of kit that is intuitive and dynamic with its Multi-Touch technology. The major factor for me is that its design is more streamlined than the previous giving a more natural feel and less strain on your wrist as well as the removal of the scroll ball. Every action is done by a click or a gesture, to scroll or swipe you simply gesture over the mouse as you would with the Macbook or iPhone.

Mine is currently in the post but I cant wait to see how long it takes me to break this one!
