KillJim.com. I can’t explain why, but I really loved that domain name from the second I saw it. The best domain names are ones you do not forget, and I think it would be pretty darn impossible to get something like KillJim.com out of your head.
This starts out to be a group weblog, with the main author of the site inviting people that can contribute to Kill Jim on a regular basis, but winds up being the brainchild of the creator, James. He’s a 20 year old from New Zealand, according to the informational page about the authors of the site.
With only three months of archives listed on the site, there unfortunately aren’t really that many posts to read. Sadly, the humor in most of these posts will probably be lost on some viewers. Not everyone can appreciate James’ excitement about becoming a sniper for the U.S. Army (if he were an American) and popping off the heads of terrorists one by one. And I’m fairly certain there are blog-readers out there who won’t be entertained by the entries written about getting drunk beyond belief and deciding which disco ball he likes the most. Me? I was entertained. Immensely.
Every once in a while, one of the authors will share a link they’ve found on a different site somewhere, but that’s definitely not the main focus of the site. In my opinion, it’s a site that’s made to entertain – short, sometimes eccentric entries that may or may not have a point, and may or may not strike its intended audience as funny.
The design used for KillJim.com fits the site perfectly. No frills, nothing fancy – just a design that does the job. The title of the site is in the upper left-hand corner of the site, with a link to the archives and the authors listed below. James lists a few of his favorite links below, and the rest of the site displays the weblog entries.
This is a site that’s not going to be entertaining for everyone, and a site like that is hard to rate. While this site is not the average mainstream site, it is very well written, complimented with a very nice design. Having said that, it deserves a good ranking like the one I’ve given. NULL
