Kitchen Table Computers: "Resources and Information for Ordinary People Who Want to Build Their Own Computers." Yes, it is possible. My dad built my computer for me (with components I purchased), and it's a wonderful PC.

1. If you owned a restaurant, what kind of food would you serve?
Fusion.2. If you owned a small store, what kind of merchandise would you sell?
New & used books; notebooks & journals. I'd also have a small coffee shop attached.3. If you wrote a book, what genre would it be?
Probably a collection of non-fiction essays.4. If you ran a school, what would you teach?
How to publish online: weblogs, e-zines, personal homepages, etc.5. If you recorded an album, what kind of music would be on it?
A little bit of everything: It would definitely be eclectic! I'd probably lean more to the pop rock side of things, though.

Something new from Google: local.google.com
Speaking of Google, their St. Patrick's Day logo is very nice.

From Britain's National Archives: "See colour images of the original wills of selected famous people, including William Shakespeare, Oliver Cromwell, Jane Austen, Sir Francis Drake, Samuel Pepys and Christopher Wren."
Some wills, like Shakespeare's (PDF file), can be viewed for free, but to see others, you'll have to pay £3 ($5.40) each.

I'm fickle when it comes to eclectica's layout: I've changed it again. We'll see how long this one lasts! ;)

I still mainly use Google to search the web, but I've begun to use other search engines as well, such as AllTheWeb and Teoma. I'm interested in the search results Google leaves out.
Do any of you use a search engine besides Google; and, if so, what is it?

Did you know that G.W. Bush is Marilyn Monroe's 9th cousin twice removed? Yeah, neither did I. See some of the famous people that President Bush and John Kerry are related to here.

For hours of entertainment, check out mental_floss' online library, which contains all their previous Facts-of-the-Day and Quizzes-of-the-Day.
I've picked up a hardcopy of mental_floss before. It was almost like reading a website, in the fact that all the articles were short and very easy to read. It's a great mag to to read on a flight, when you can't totally immerse yourself in a book.

I haven't seen Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ -- and probably won't see it. But I found this site to be interesting: BeliefNet's round-up of criticism and debate about the movie.

City that inspired Narnia fantasy: With work under way on a film of CS Lewis' The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, BBC News Online's Greg McKevitt investigates the roots of its Belfast-born author and the Northern Ireland settings that fired his boyhood imagination. [via quiddity]
(I know I've been linking to a lot of Narnia-related stuff lately. I'm just really looking forward to the movie!)

No more Supersize fries and beverages at Micky D's. I wonder if this is in response to Supersize Me? (They do say it has nothing to do with the film.)
