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 site above..

Ozzy's first real bike!

Check out this site at http://www.grandshelters.com/index.html about a neat Igloo building tool they have created. I found the site after looking for other pictures on the Internet of igloos other people created. I think I'm gonna have to get me one of these tools. Unfortunately for us, we don't get much snow here in Virginia. After the last snow and igloo being built, it never got much below freezing and our igloo melted away within a week (it was in the 50-60's). For those that are curious.. The igloo we built below was done using a plastic tupper-ware like container. It was rectangular and measured about 18" x 12" x 4". At first I started by building a square base, but realized in order to get the top to close I was going to have to start rounding it more. It was only going to be a simple fort at first. As I started building up past the 5-6 bottom layers, I started inching slowly inwards, cutting off corners to assist in rounding it up a bit. Surprisingly,...

Here's the other side of th igloo..

Happy Birthday Nicky!

This makes you a menace to society, depending on how you channel your energies. You chew your fingers and have an addictive personality. Properly guided, you can be enormously productive--otherwise you run amok, stir up trouble, and generally have a hell of a good time. To your friends, you are a source of relentless entertainment. You often get into trouble, but you almost always find a way out. You are strangely popular and feed off others' energy. You live hard, seize the day, and although your more sober friends would like to see you settled down, you generally have fewer regrets and better memories than they do. Your tenet is that, at the end of the day, one regrets only what one didn...

I found another Braggfamily Web Site out there. Go Braggs!

Cheers! I've been blessed with a coveted Gmail account. Hopefully, I'll start getting invites to hand out. Please don't ask for em, I'll be handing out the first rounds to family and friends. I've only explored the Gmail web interface for a few minutes, but finding some of the features to be quite useful. It has fast reponse, keyboard-shortcuts (single key-press) to specific features, filters, spam, search capabilities. I'm sure it has more that I haven't even found yet.

For all the budding programmers out there. Here is the [Interface Hall of Shame] . A site to help you see what NOT to do when designing your Graphical and User Interfaces (GUI). Gotta love it. URL removed due to site closing .
