Two More Glorious Fellowships
2006.05.31 - Poor Attendance
My 2006.05.24 entry, boasting about a booming 5 in attendance on the 24th was followed up by a poor showing on the 31st. We're hoping to rebound this week on June 7th.
Attendance & Menu Item
Dale - 1/2 Order of Hungry Mountain (trying to impress Randy)
Jeff - (sorry, I can't even remember! Please post and tell us.)
Aaron - aka the GodFather, (I can't remember what the GodFather ate either!)
Things Were Not Good in Dale's Belly
I remember, in detail, what I had on the 24th because I felt kind of queezy all day. I realize now that I should not be ordering Hungry Mountains. I don't think I'm man enough to contain it; to isolate it and control it; inside my belly. It affected my whole body; my equilibrium. So, I vow, from this day forward, I will refrain from eating Hungry Mountains. I'm not saying they aren't good; no, far from it, they are good (so good), but maybe they're not so good for me.
The Invisible Zeb
Something must be wrong because Zeb missed a Bert's and did not call for a Bert's makeup session. Could it be, that Zeb no longer needs Bert's fellowship? NO! "Father God, never let that happen; Please make Zeb love Bert's forever!" -- Amen.
I'm betting things are fairly busy at home with that new zeb-like baby girl. Zeb's a man that understands priority, and I'm sure he missed for a good reason.

Attendance - Arrival, Menu Item (written on the 24th, delayed posting)
Dale - First to arrive (like at 6:01 AM), 2+2+2 (eggs,bacon,sausage)
Jeff - Second to arrive (around 6:30 AM), a huge waffle covered with whip cream
Zeb - Late - 2+2+2 doubled-up on sausage
Randy - Late - HUNGRY MOUNTAIN, Full Order with Hot Sauce!
Aaron - Really Late, I don't even know what he ate
5 Bertaholics?
That's right, there were 5 of us today. When a new guy comes in two weeks in a row, chances are, they're hooked. Now, when ole Lex came for one week, that was it. He couldn't take it, but it looks like Randy is in. So, a "good job" goes out to Zeb & Jeff for recruiting a new member.

A Congratulations In Order
Contratulations to Zeb! Zeb became a Dad (again) on Thursday morning. Zeb and his family welcome a sweet little baby girl to this world. May God Bless them for a lifetime.

2006.05.17 Randy's Bert's Debut
Attendance:
Randy - Hungry Mountain (full order)
Jeff - French Toast
Dale - French Toast
Aaron - Oatmeal with bananas
Guess Who's "Spearheading" FCOG's New Website?
That's right, it's Randy. And, he's pretty excited about it. Looks like they're going with a nice portal / content management product called SiteWrench. I think their website is here. I think this is a good approach; because a portal product will provide a lot of out-of-the-box functionality and it can be managed and changed by non-programmers.
Back Packing Is On!
Both Aaron and Jeff are talking August backpacking trips to North Manitou. Hopefully they can respond to this blog with details. The church has some gear, which is very helpful if you know anything about backpacking.
The Beer Mirror
The Schlitz mirror Dale found in his closet and donated to the church garage sale ended up being snaged by Alex and is now sitting somewhere in the attic.
What Happened to Carl?
Carl was suppose to be at Bert's this morning but failed to show. We even sat at the big table. Come on Carl; what's up?
A Missing Zeb
Zeb had good reason to not show this morning. He is most likely at the hospital where his wife is having a baby! Congratulations in advance Zeb.
Software We Mentioned
Somehow, screen/video capturing tools came up.
RoboDemo
Aaron mentioned a $20 tool called RoboDemo. This apparently has been acquired by Adobe and renamed "Captivate." Oh, and it looks to be around $400 now. The website for that is here.
Wink
Dale just came across a freeware tool for this called Wink. You can find that here. Dale has only used it for a day but found it to be pretty awesome (especially considering the $0.00 price tag).
Other WebSites Dale is Promoting for Some Reason
GMail - clearly the best online email (with the fewest and most unobtrusive ads)
Pandora - a really neat customizable radio station using a real neat Music Genome concept.
PodZinger - a place to search on podcasts that uses some incredible technology to index audio.
That's it for now.
