I found most of these sites to be pretty low on content...

Yes, they are confusing the two. We have a minimal shopping site ( http://stylous.com/ ) that is not minimal on content. My co-founder, Steve Dekorte, is the primary designer. His blog uses a minimal design without being minimal on content ( http://dekorte.com/blog/blog.cgi ) as does his programming language ( http://www.iolanguage.com/ ).

Really nice. I've sent a link to my girlfriend to see what she thinks as a "user" :) Comment was that she can't send a link to a ring (gasp) to me, until I've explained she can when she clicks on the product and that font is a bit on the ugly/unreadable side (firefox). thought you might wan't a feedback. Keep up the good work.

Reminds me of the old trick of typing (including quotes) 'bash: command: command not found' into bash.

I love Konami Code Sites. http://konamicodesites.com/

Using vimperator it's impossible for me to execute the Konami Code.

Doesn't "shift+i" do the trick?

That's actually a category called "single-serving websites"

I love d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y.com the best. I should register a site that explains the difference between principle and principal.

There are quite a few basic grammar sites that could (and probably should) be developed. Their, There, They're. We're, were. i before e... The correct spelling of many common words.

My personal pet peeve: s/independant/independent/g

You're and your I especially love when someone says something along the lines of: Your so stupid.

it's a bad habit of mine to prematurely judge people's intellect solely on their ability to differentiate between the two
