If eating bacon sandwiches isn't enough, they have bacon salt, to make everything you eat taste like bacon! How can this be?

Snowmageddon in Virginia

2010-02-12T19:01:00.000-05:00

We've had over 5 feet of snow this season, and another storm is apparently on the way. So much for using my new snow making machine. It's almost as if I started it up and it's been running non-stop ever since. In case you interested in learning about snow making you can check out http://snowguns.com/ And if your just interested in buying a snow making machine, you can check out SN Home

Nick playing Bass

2009-10-23T15:05:00.003-04:00

This was Nick playing electric bass in front of a crowd for the first time during the Summer. We were at my old co-workers annual Summer house party (Paul Speed). btw, Nick is the guy on the Left. He played through a few songs and had a really great time.

Winters a Coming

2009-10-22T22:51:00.003-04:00

We're finally into fall now here at the Bragg household. The trees are changing, leaves are falling. I can practically taste my favorite time of year. Winter!A lot of work to do still in preparation here. The pool has been emptied but needs to be cleaned out and packed up for winter storage. The ATV's and mower need to be prepared for storage. This past Summer we had a new Shed built, so I have

A little music in our lives.

2008-08-12T12:19:00.004-04:00

Update: MixWit has since gone down. 1/18/2009Billy and Nick started taking music lessons last fall (Guitar and Bass, respectively). Billy has decided to just practice on his own from now on instead of continuing lessons. Tho, he's gotten way better over time. Nick's still taking lesson's for his Bass and enjoying it. His teacher Doug Manring (who's brother is Michael Manring) who started "The

Well, it's finally time for a cool site to check out. I ran across this PONG LED table somebody created. I'd love to have one of these. I wonder what other games could be adapted using this kinda technology? Air-hockey maybe? Anyhow I saw it on Hack-A-Day. Why not go check it out.

Mission Airsoft

2008-05-05T11:09:00.002-04:00

On Sunday, I took the older boys (Nicky, 12 and Billy, 17) to AirsoftCQB for a day of shooting. I must admit that I did not expect much. But, it was a fantastic time. If you live in the DC Area and like the idea of paintball, or playing FPS (first-person shooters), like half-life and such. AirsoftCQB is the place for you. They have a 17,000 sq/foot warehouse that they have transformed into a

New Pool Phase 1

2008-04-29T13:16:00.002-04:00

As I posted in the previous entry, the pool season is about to begin. I just got confirmation that the pool is being loaded on the truck and en route to Virginia later today. The picture to the right is the start of Phase 1, leveling of the ground. I estimate another week and a half or two before it's really level. The tiller isn't working this year, so it's going to be a manual process with

Bragg Pool Season

2008-04-24T12:03:00.005-04:00

Just a little heads up. It's that time again for the Bragg Family to buy or setup another above-ground pool. It all started years ago when we first moved to Virginia. I found a good deal on one of those giant Condom pool (as we called it). It's the big blue round ones that you blow up the top and just fill it up. It was a pretty large size when we got it. Anyhow, my first attempt failed

Resume and Career Tips

2008-04-21T11:11:00.001-04:00

I've been fairly lucky in my choice of jobs for the past 10 years that I haven't had to update my resume and change jobs as frequent as most in my field. Though, I found a couple of interesting articles that may prove helpful if the time does arise. The tech industry moves very fast and it's easy to get out-of-touch with reality in the job market.There are a couple nice articles over at

Build your own self-replicating robots

2008-04-16T16:55:00.004-04:00

Here is a link to RepRap , which is a project to create a self-replicating fabrication robot. I see this as the beginning of future replicators, just like we saw in the television series "Star Trek". I hope to get to try to build one of these .. they say it's "... like having a China on your desktop...". Imagine just requesting your computer to make a replacement glass or plate if you break

I Love root beer

2007-06-11T13:49:00.000-04:00

I love root beer. I found this site: http://biology.clc.uc.edu/fankhauser/Cheese/ROOTBEER_Jn0.htm : that shows how to make your own. I'm pretty lazy, so I'll probably never try it. The proof is that I have a regular beer making kit and about 10 sets of supplies to make and haven't touched it in nearly 2 years. *sigh* Anyhow, if you like root beer and like to brew things, maybe you'll like the
