X-inventions: The home page of a high school kid who shows you exactly how to build pneumatic cannons, hovercraft, lockpicks, high explosives, telephone bugs and a lot of other fun stuff. Impress your friends! Be the first on your block! (Remind me to be nice to the next teenager I meet.)

Hmm. The design looks remarkably like Microsoft's home page.

Who cares about that? It's the content that matters, not the form!

Most web designers would probably care. But I think Microsoft's fair game.

I've found myself, at times, basing some of my websites (practice ones, anyway) on themes of other websites. I think that it's good to some extent, it may not bring out your creative side, but it may help you learn how to do new things.

Not to mention that you don't necessarily have to worry about the usability copscoming after you

I hope these guys know every school principal in the United States has a price on their heads. Teenage boys with bomb-making information on the Internet! They must be arrested before they snap!
