I love it when companies add a little personal touch to their 404 pages (though they're taking 'personal' to a whole new level here!)

I saw an incredibly great collection of creative 404 pages a few months back. I can't find the one I saw, though Fab404 (http://fab404.com/) has a bunch.

The one I use for thingist: http://thingist.com/blahblahblah

And also 500: http://thingist.com/errordocs/500error.html

The site is tiny, which let's me be a little bit sillier than normal. Personally I think playfulness is the core of what it means to be a hacker, so I love this type of stuff :)

Sound, plus it's annoying as hell? I can see why.

Interestingly fab404's 404 page itself is not at all great. http://fab404.com/404.html

except it implies that a 404 occurs when something goes wrong and when you can't type. A 404 would be the superset of those two, not the intersection

Not every typo results in a 404 and not something broke doesn't always mean a 404. On the other hand, its not the intersection of these two, also.

404 should be placed above the diagram if you ask me.

Small shameless plug for our own attempt at the "personal" 404 page: http://www.ties.com/fgswgdfjgjah ( flash required to see video, sorry )

Funny, but sound on a 404 page? That could get annoying fast.

Hitting 404 pages often GET annoying fast.
