Over this last weekend Alex got married to Kat over in Melbourne. The wedding was fantastic and I even gave a speech. I got a few people asking for me to put it online since they couldn't hear all of it so I included it below. The theme of the wedding was "a+k".

And the picture above? Well the rehearsal dinner was "island casual". I saw one of this Spring Break 2008 shirts and just thought they were the best/worst things ever. I wore one to the party and it just seemed natural to buy a bunch to pass around. So I bought 8 of these ridiculous shirts for $5 dollars a pop and it is by far the best money I have ever spent in my life.


Good Afternoon my fellow citizens.

My name is Gavin Hall and I am the non-family obligated best man.

As someone who not married yet, ladies....I am sadly unable to share the wisdom that will guide our happy couple to wedding bliss. Instead my speech is directed to you, the family and guests, on how this perfect relationship came to be. A story that truly warms the cockles of my heart.

If Disney movies can be trusted at all...then when you find the person you are supposed to be with things change forever.

For Alex, this happened during freshmen orientation at UCF...when he met me.

You see Alex and I are from very different backgrounds. I grew up in Central South Florida, Alex grew up in South Central Florida. I went to an Private Episcopalian school named St. Marks, Alex to a Private Episcopalian school named Holy Trinity. Alex started with computers at 9, I was 8 and a half. Yet, besides our wildly different past we embraced and accepted each others differences.

It was a different era then that of today. Back then we wanted to unwind, we had to play the Playstation 2...not the Playstation 3. If you wanted to ask a girl out you had to MySpace her...not Facebook her. And our only option for raisins were raisins... the kids of today's have craisins. Things have defiantly changed but it was during that time when our friendship bloomed.

As we celebrated our first new year of being friends together there was a certain calm that came over us. Everyone knew we would all soon explode from Y2K, so I asked Alex what he loved more then anything.

"Taco Bell", he said

I feel with that response you can really get an insight on the true Alex. Born to a white women in Kansas and a Black man from Kenya, there was a youthful innocence to him that drew people in...and hunger for texmex that would silently but defiantly push people away.

We both continued on our paths during college and I was metaphorically there when he joined a fraternity, fought and won a tragic battle with hypoglycemia and brutally killed his first manatee.

As Alex and I took classes together our bond continued to grow. Soon we would move from Friends to Best Friends. And then Best Friends to BFF. Best Friends Forever.

When Alex moved to DC after graduation him and I stayed in close contact. He would tell me about his job and city life. About Museums, Metros and cab fare. Oh yes, and about girl.

I would hear stories of this incredibly intelligent, witty and beautiful girl he met who was from Ohio and neutral on horses. How she would tap dance in metro stations when she got bored and how she had never used a cursed word in her life.

Soon after Kat emailed me and it simply stated, "My name is Kathrin Stayzack (sp for google sake). I'm 100% polish and my dad is in a Polka Band".

Although Kathryn's father has since swore to me that it wasn't a Polka band..I think it is THAT statement that shows the true Kathryn. Someone who is always able to see the best in any situation.

As they progressed through their courting and the blossoming of their relationship, I was literally and awkward there.

I would see Kathryn talk passionately about her woobie, pirogi and politics...and as I drifted off, I would understand what people had to deal with when Alex and I talk about computers.

But from the start, it was that same passion when talked about each other...that made me know where this was headed.

When Alex told me he was going to propose to Kat, I think the same question went through everyone's mind.

How is this going to effect me?

Alex let me know that I wasn't losing my BFF but instead gaining a second BFF in Kathryn. Someone who soon would be contractually obligated to be nice to him...and ergo nice to me.

A + K + G

Please help me in toasting my very good friends Alex and Kathryn.

May today be the day that you are the least in love

Last week Mike and I traveled to DC to give a presentation on some kick ass new things we are working on. Typically I fly a few times each month (I love transportation!) but loading and unloading of a plane is just painful for me to watch as a programmer.

The goal of course for airlines is to have all their planes in the air all the time. If they are on the ground then they are not making any money. Because of this they try to optimize how their time is spent on the ground. However the actual loading of passengers into a plane takes longer then fueling or loading the luggage onto the plane.

This is the same in our industry. It's hard to get stoked about knocking off 1ms on a query because non iframed ads take 18 seconds to load into the page or because the page has 5megs of images. I'm sure this happens in the airline industry as well. Why bother improving the efficiency of loading fuel or bags or food into a plane when you know you are going to wait for the people to load.

Most airlines, like the RIAA, seem to stay in business despite themselves but that is an entirely different post. However they all seem to take some steps in order to optimize load times of passengers. Southwest doesn't do assigned seating. When flying out of LA on JetBlue they loaded from the back and front doors of the plane at the same time which seemed to really decrease load time but that setup is not available in many airports. United and pretty much everyone else gives you a "Zone Number" and you board when your zone is called.

It's that last one that really is bothersome. From my personal experience it looks like they load everyone with a window seat first then middle then aisle row last. This seems to make common sense...you don't want to sit everyone in the aisle first so that people with window seats have to jump over them to get in. However anyone who has been on a plane knows that the 2 seconds to squeeze by someone is nothing compared to the 30 seconds it takes to store your luggage in the overhead compartments.

That seems to be the bottleneck that no one is addressing. If you seat someone in the first row in a window seat but they have to spend 30 seconds putting their bag above them no one else can load in at the same time. So everyone waits in line.

The ideal solution (from an efficiency standpoint) would be to remove over head carry ons. This would mean less time getting through security and less time loading because unless it fits under the seat in front of you it is going to be checked.

Sure that puts more load on the baggage workers but that system can be optimized because you have trained people using it (not depending on your customers to find an efficient route).

I doubt many airlines would be bold enough to actually do that but don't we want to see what we can get the baggage and fuel loaders times down to?

Mostly because it's my blog and I can do whatever I want.

I placed an order on Jan 23rd with FTD to have 12 Red Roses delivered on Valentine's Day. Needless to say the flowers never showed up.

When you call their 800-SEND-FTD phone number and press 3 for "problems with orders" it goes straight to a busy signal (been this way for over 24 hours now).

Also all email sent to them bounce back.

Fantastic!

So not only do I look like an ass for not having flowers sent but I can't even get in touch with anyone at FTD to figure out what went wrong.

From now on I am going to only use local flower shops. In Orlando I use the Downtown Florist and they always do great work.

Then I actually checked Wikipedia and there is a third manning. A Cooper Manning who did go into the business world after health issues. Not to mention that Archie Manning (Payton's and Eli's Dad) was a star QB for the Colts back in the day.

Perhaps this was all common knowledge, but craziness.

First is that NanoSolar has produce solar panels that will drop the costs under $1 dollar a watt. Typically solar cells cost about $4 dollars a watt so there are a lot of cases where installing solar panels doesn't make economic sense. However at under a dollar you recoup your money very quickly which would lead to mainstream adoption of solar panels.

Second is Nano Wire batteries. This allows Li-Ion batteries to be able to hold ten times their current charge. So if your laptop gets 2 hours on a single charge it is now getting 20 hours.

Third is the Tesla Roadster. Around 250 miles on a single charge but able to prove that just because you are thinking radically with your technology doesn't mean it has to look like something that people in the 50's assumed they would see in the year 2000. Just a sexy, fast car that runs on dreams electricity.

All three by themselves are exciting but bring them together and now you are looking at being able to drive from Miami to NY and back on a single charge. Add to that the ability to do the charge 100% on your own from solar panels on your house and it seems like a perfect solution. That doesn't even factor that green house gases would go down and the USA wouldn't be 100% dependent on the middle east and all the benefits that come from that.

I don't want to sound like a smelly hippie here...but damn...this is a step in the right direction.

Makes sense being University of Central Florida pretty much is what East Orlando is all about. To people that live on this side of town I live in Waterford which is an area with a huge outdoor center that includes a Target, Gap, 22 Screen Movie Theater, LA Fitness, Best Buy some 30 restaurants and lord knows how many shops.

The major stores that draw people are called anchors. An anchors job is to basically take people out of their car. This allows smaller shops that are based on foot traffic (like a smoothie shop) to be able to flourish. Someone will drive to Target but while there they will walk around to some of the other shops.

Downtown Orlando is setup to be based on foot traffic. It has been that way ever since I moved here. I always found it strange because before about five years ago you really couldn't live in the heart of downtown (now there are about 20 buildings you can live in) so there was no foot traffic. The only sudo anchors at that point were clubs. Bars don't count because you don't get all dolled up and pay for parking to go sit in a bar.

It amazes me that every other developer in Central and South Florida knows the concept of Anchors and how to get people out of their cars (which is required with people not using public transportation) yet no one in Downtown ever did it.

Hopefully this will change soon. Publix and an AMC movie theater should be opening up late this year but I don't think this will be enough. Downtown needs shops and restaurants that not only are big enough to draw people to them but also unique in Orlando. I hope that as more of these new skyscrapers finish they will start to flush out shops that draw people in. Small mom and pop shops are what give culture to a downtown and that is something Orlando could use a boost of.

Sometime in high school when I would visit Orlando is when this tradition was started.

For some reason when I travel this changes from me being in the background to being in the foreground.

And Vegas was no difference. When Jason said he would give me ten bucks to jump in this girl's picture I was on it. If you look close you can see the cash in my left hand. My Internet girlfriend Willo with her cat like reflexes popped over to capture the moment as well.

Another time when in NYC for a meeting with Weblogs Inc/Blogsmith we decided to go out on our last night to see the town. Some how we ended up at a random bar with three levels. Mike, Alex and myself decided to see what the bar had to offer on all three floors.

First floor was just drinking and TV's playing the game. The second floor was drinking and dancing and the third floor was reserved for a couples going away part (I think they just got married).

Someone was just finishing up a speech and I decided that I also should send this couple off with some sage advise. I raised my glass, said a few words on their behalf and said "cheers!" as a group of confused looking people cheers-ed me back.

Although we never got a picture of the toast I think the couple took my advice to heart..."Let the bridges you burn light your path through life".

Cheers!

I have always wanted the Valentine One because I've read it's the best but never got around to it because the thing is pretty ugly.

Yesterday I read an article in Wired about a guy trying to beat the 32 hour and 7 minute coast to coast driving from NY to Cali and got inspired again. Why stop at Cali...I'm going to be the fastest driver to go around the world!!

...wait a minute.

So I have been putting aside 50 bucks a pay check in order to be able to splurge on the V1 and a few weeks ago I broke down and bought it.

Well at least I thought I did.

The last screen said "Success! Error! Our server is busy".

Uh, Fantastic!

With all that information it took me a few hours to dechiper what it meant. Did it go through? Should I try again? Did I just buy a Russian bride...again?

Luckily the FAQ says if you get an error give us a call on the 800 number. This must be a common thing for them. Too bad eCommerance wasn't something perfected in the late 90's by Amazon and every other site on the web...oh wait...

So when I got up the next morning I called the 800 number and the first two times calling in as soon as the person said hello it hung up on me. Ugh.

On the third time I called I had to wait about 10 minutes before I could talk to someone although this is when I became a satisfied customer.

I'll explain...

About every 45 seconds Mike Valentine (hence the name...) comes on to let you know whats going on. It's a recording but it starts off with everyone is busy and says your call is important. The second time again a professional message about wait times and they are sorry.

The third time he comes on with "uhh...man this is sooo embarrassing to me. Perhaps we have gotten a glowing review in a magazine or perhaps bird flu has taken out all of my employees".

At this point I don't care about being on hold any more I just want to hear what he says next. And sure enough every 45 seconds the messages get funnier and funnier including him saying that hes going to have the system ring a managers desk and if that doesn't work it will call him at home.

Eventually a guy picked up the phone and within 30 seconds confirmed my order and said I will receive it on Friday. I hung up and forgot all about all the reasons why I had to call on my 3rd time and be put on hold but it echoes what AMSCOT is doing. When someone is waiting give them as task that makes the waiting seem some what enjoyable.

So now after having it for a few months what are my thoughts? Over all I love it. It really is insane with how accurate this thing is. If you are a speeder then I would suggest it. There are two things I hate and one thing to keep in mind.

First thing is this thing is ugly as hell. Form and Function? Not so much form but lots of function. You wouldn't take it to Prom but if your buddies never found out you might invite it over late one night when you got home from a night of drinking.

Just no mouth kissing.

And if anyone from Valentine One reads this...take this advice:

1) The X, K, KA, and Laser are listed vertically on the center of the device. However when you are driving you can't read the label next to each light so you have no idea if its a random signal or something serious. The fix? Instead of using red LEDs for all of the types use different colors. That way at a glance I can see what is shakin.

2) The ability to turn off X. In Orlando they do this new fancy thing where they detect if a car is in a turn lane by hitting you with an X radar instead of putting the magnetic things in the ground. Driving downtown becomes slightly less annoying then going to the dentist. Update: Fixed.

Finding out that it indeed is crazy to offer apples to reindeers I see this little gem:
Some consider Rudolph as part of the group as well, though he was not part of the original named work referenced previously, and did not join the sleigh team until Santa rightly recognized the traffic benefits of his luminescent nose.
Rightly recognized the traffic benefits of his luminescent nose? Really?

And for the record reindeer eat mostly moss and leaves.

Curious on how to eat them I asked Brian what the right way to do it was. He instructed me to just dump it into my mouth and just as it passes my lips he goes into a whole speech about how there is really no other way to describe it then chewing on someone else's snot. Texture, smell even the taste really. I just kept chewing and tried to swallow while he just kept going on and on.

It was the first and last time I ever had an oyster.

So it was with great pleasure I was able to send the 2girls1cup video out to the Blogsmith team as a Thanksgiving treat to be thankful for the Internet. I emailed Brian because I know something like this was just up his alley.

His response?

I just had the biggest all you can eat breakfast at The Kitchen. With a very full stomach I finally clicked your link from my laptop.

We are now even for that whole oyster thing!

Brian Alvey

And just like that, I am thankful for the Internet all over again.

Happy Thanksgiving!

For $999 you can send them your saliva and they will provide you with your genetic makeup. You are able to login and see what diseases you are more likely to have and then can keep an eye out for those. Hopefully with regular screening and lifestyle changes you would be able to decrease your chances of having bad things happen. Remember that genetics doesn't mean destiny but instead gives you a few things to look out for.

I didn't sign up for the service for two reasons. One it is still expensive but more importantly there is no way to use the service anonymously. I can just see that it tells me I have a better likelihood of getting some strange disease and then an insurance company buys 23andme.com and I am no longer able to get insured. I don't think it will be long before anonymous testing comes out to give the information to the customer without the privacy concerns. I think like anonymous AIDS testing it is important to inform the patient more so then bothering to find out who is who.

The NYT did a story on this that is a good read. I see the power this could provide people to be able to change their lifestyles so that they could live longer and happier lives but the potential for abuse is there for sure. Alex and I were talking about this this morning and my hope is there is some legislation passed in order to keep this information out of the hands of the government or big corporations.

Your thoughts on it?

Today at some point Google turned on support for IMAP. This allows me to set my iPhone up to use my GMail account in basically the same way as the web interface. When I delete a message it deletes it from GMail and when I send a message it goes into my sent box.

Google gives you instructions on how to connect but you have to go to your Mail setting on your iPhone and map the inbox, send and trash directory to the folders on GMail so that it doesn't just randomly apply labels. The only trick here is that you need to map the Trash on the iPhone to go to the All Mail on the server. That will make more sense if you are looking at the settings on your iPhone.

I'm loving it so far, the only thing that is keeping me from using it 100% of the time is that it doesn't allow you to choose the address your sending from. Thats on Apple not Google though. Although google could add in IMAP push to make me just giddy.

But damn it if Pushing Days is not just a gorgeous show. It's on ABC HD Wednesdays and the colors, sets and costumes are just fantastic and vivid.

The concept of the show is that when something dies a guy is able to touch it to bring it back to life for one minute. If he doesn't touch it again before the minute is up something else around it does.

The girl in the show looks super familiar but I just can't seem to place her. If you have a HD set I would highly suggest it.

That sucks. Then a day later someone steals everything else that he owns out of his car. That really sucks.

Alex mentioned to me about the only thing he has left is one boot. That's when you know someone hates you.

It's like getting your tires slashed. If someone slashes two tires then they are pissed at you. If they slash all 4 then they are REALLY pissed at you. If they slash three? They HATE you.

They force you to finish the job because you can't just buy three new tires due to how tires wear together.

One boot? Just as bad. A valuable lesson on why to never leave Eastern Time.

A few nights ago I saw they had a feature of the best and worst movies of all time. The winner (or I suppose the loser)? Biodome with a score of 1.

I'm fairly confident the only person associated with the film who's career didn't end was whoever sold drugs to the cast and crew.

If you look at the IMDB for Mr. Shore you can see he really didn't really do another movie after Bio-Dome all just TV appearances from that point on. I guess once you reach perfection why bother trying? It would be as if Michaelangelo decided to try and paint another church ceiling.

I can't even think of a reference to Bio-Dome...it was just that bad. I can't even seem to think of a worse movie. It is quite perfectly the best worst movie ever. Not to be confused with Cool Runnings the worst best movie ever.

The juice has been weezed and we thank you for that Mr. Shore.
