			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Following a link or entering an url manually can have two results in the web browser. A website is loaded or an error message is shown. One of the most dreaded error messages of them all is the 404 error page not found.</p>
<p>Website owners can leave it at that or create their own custom 404 error page to provide the user with solutions or to further humiliate him. Really depends on the type of site that you are visiting. Long time reader Daniel collected four interesting best of <a href="http://www.bloggliv.se/snygga-och-roliga-404-sidor/">404 error</a> lists on the Internet on his (Swedish) <a href="http://www.bloggliv.se/">Bloggliv</a> blog. He is also giving away three <a href="http://www.bloggliv.se/tavling-hypersnap6/">Hypersnap</a> 6 licenses if you are keen to win that software.</p>
<p>The four best of lists that he links to contain a total of 245 404 error pages. Many pretty funny, some stylish and more than a few plain evil. Want some examples? Here we go:</p>

<p>To view them all follow <a href="http://blogof.francescomugnai.com/2008/08/the-100-most-funny-and-unusual-404-error-pages/">this</a>, <a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/60-really-cool-and-creative-error-404-pages/">this</a>, <a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/49-nice-and-creative-error-404-pages/">that</a> or <a href="http://dzineblog.com/2008/11/custom-error-404-pages.html">this</a> link.</p>
<p>That reminds me that I have to create a custom 404 error page for Ghacks..</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Feels like Geek-day today. After the <a href="http://www.ghacks.net/2008/05/16/virtual-girlfriend-bed/">virtual girlfriend</a> article I present you another article that falls into the geeky but cute category. This time it&#8217;s Papercraft Toys by <a href="http://www.cubeecraft.com/">Cubeecraft</a>, a website that is offering free papercraft model downloads that can bring a smile on the old and young.</p>
<p>Now this would not be that geeky if you would not be able to download models like Stormtroopers, the Master Chief, Kirby, NIN &#8211; Ghosts I-IV (!) or Mario. Each model is designed to fit on a standard piece of A4 letter paper and nothing is keeping you from creating your own army of Stormtroopers, Iron Mans or Batmans.</p>
<p>&#8220;Each toy features interlocking tabs for construction &#8211; eliminating the need for tape, glue or other messy adhesives. To download click on the model you would like then save the template image.&#8221;</p>
<p><span id="more-4148"></span><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/character001-300x240.jpg" alt="stormtropper papercraft" title="stormtropper papercraft" width="300" height="240" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4149" /></p>
<p>Cutting the pieces correctly seems to be the biggest task in creating the Papercraft Toys. I think it&#8217;s a great idea that guarantees lots of fun. But, where&#8217;s Darth Vader and Boba Fett ?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have seen my fair share of geeky stuff on the Internet and the Virtual Girlfriend definitely <a href="http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2008/05/weird_science_nyu_student_inve.html">makes</a> it straight to the top. Geeks don&#8217;t have girlfriends, that&#8217;s what people believe and while it sometimes may be true it more often than not is not, except for gay geeks maybe who tend to have boyfriends instead. (sidenote: wow there is even a website with that name but no content yet)</p>
<p>If you do not have a girlfriend yet you probably dislike sleeping alone. While it definitely has some advantages most people prefer the historical two humans per bed approach. If you are one human short you can instead try the virtual approach which adds a virtual girlfriend to your bed that responds to your reactions.</p>
<p>If you lie on the back for example she snuggles up next to you, lie on the side and the spoons on you. The only difficulty so far is that she only exists in 2D which means that you cannot feel her at all.</p>

<p>INBED is what Drew Burrows called his invention which makes use of infrared sensors. I&#8217;m not sure if his invention will be that successful because it lacks the somatic sensation..</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you a fan of &#8220;Bridge to Terabithia&#8221; movie? Are you fond of IT stuff? Both? Then check this out. None? Then check it out too, you might come to like it anyway.</p>
<p>I loved that movie when I saw it and I still do. It even made me ignore my lack of talent and draw (yes, on a real paper, using my very own clumsy hands!) a picture, which is fairly untypical of me and hardly ever found in my regular schedule. Having had my own computer out of order for some time now, I had lots of time to spend on a homework we got in school &#8211; writing an English essay that would resemble a classic fairy-tale.</p>
<p>I meant it to be inspired by the movie from the very beginning but still wanted to make it somehow original. Then I got a few ideas on how to adapt the basic story to the IT environment and internet culture and thought that those ideas weren&#8217;t that bad after all. After one whole afternoon spent on writing (again, on a real paper instead of word processor canvas), I came up with something that may not be exactly called &#8220;art&#8221; but I still liked it myself and wanted to share it with the web community. Though, I do recommend watching the movie first, if possible.. no, I&#8217;m not adding a torrent link here.</p>

<p><strong>Description: </strong></p>
<p>The excellent and beautiful movie &#8220;Bridge to Terabithia&#8221; inspired me to write this remake as a school essay. Specially designed for people with a slight insight into the technology world and internet stuff. </p>
