Interesting design of "paged" content

[James William Yoon]

Very cool.

Since we're on the topic of unique paging designs, here's another:

http://aurgasm.us/ (it's not salacious in any way, I promise!)

Scroll down to the bottom, and note how it extends the page once you get to
the end. Technically it might not be a pager (it's one really-really long
page instead), but it does solve the problem of dealing with lengthy
same-level content (though not without its disadvantages, of course; for
instance, you can't jump to the last or intermediate "pages").

Cheers,
James

P.S.
It's also a great site for discovering new music!
