I remember when I use to misspell a web page and get the ugly looking IE error page; the The page cannot be displayed one. I couldn’t stand seeing that page because I knew I incorrectly typed something into the address bar or my internet was down. Either way, I would see this page and look at the code to find the table tag abused by the great giant Microsoft and its wonderful compliant web coders.
One day, after I had turned into the compliant neat freak that I am today, I decided to do Microsoft a favor and validate their code for them because they’ve done SOO much for me right? It still looks ugly, but perhaps in the future when I become a better designer, I can fix that too. When I get a chance, I’ll email the code to the IE team and see if they accept it.
So take a gander at the code and give me some tips on improvements. Trick your friends using Safari or Firefox into thinking they went back into time when they once used IE browser. It scares me sometimes too…

Will they adopt it? Uh, I doubt it. Seeing as though IE7 has a funky new one. I’m not sure if it’s valid or not, but boy does it look good! Getting a 404 was never more fun!

Yea, I just saw it. Shit. I’ll find out if its valid, if not, that is just another project for me. I created this page some odd years ago but just never released it. At one point in time, it was actully my front page layout. People would comment on how witty and creative it was. I just thought it was a funny joke. Oh well, just up as an example and reminder now.
