Another late night post about (whatever)

Nerdy duo buys cool product, yet still remain uncool to many

THIS BLOG HAS NO ONE TOPIC
I'm writing about everything

Here's the deal. It's 4:30am in the morning, I just finished answering my emails from last night, and I'm just writing just to write. Lets start with a wedding story.

I had a small wedding yesterday at Ko'olina and the weather was horrible. I mean cats, dogs, elephants, horrible. In fact, I had never seen it so bad at Ko'olina before in my life. I sat with the couple in the lobby of the JW Marriott to discuss possible alternatives, such as postponing their wedding till the next day, or performing their wedding in a light drizzle, then taking nice pictures in blue sky weather the following day. But then, when it looked like all hope was lost, the rain stopped, the sun popped out, and everything went from gloomy to perfect.

I breathed a big sigh of relief, to say the least. So far, my record of great weather for outdoor weddings remains at a 99.999999% rate. I have only had 3 weddings out of the thousands which I performed, that had to get called off because of rainy weather. And because of yesterday, this record stays intact!

MY THOUGHTS ON THE iPAD

So lets switch gears to the iPad for a second here. Now, I don't own an iPhone, or even a Mac, but I seriously thought about getting an iPad. I know it's just a big iPhone, but I checked it out at the Mac store, and it was cool. I even ran one of my wedding videos on there with no problem. But because its platform does not support Flash, for the time being, I'll have to pass on it. 75% of all websites include flash, including the Philadelphia Eagles website! If I can't visit my Eagles website, why should I get an iPad? There are other tablet PC's that will hit the market later this year, so I remain in a holding pattern for now. The other tablet computers will have Flash support...something I'm really looking forward to.

One day, you will be mine

This iPad talk brings me to another subject, technology. Isn't it cool that when you look back at old movies or television shows, you can see how far we came in technology. I remember when Michael Knight had televisions in his car (KITT), and I thought that was coolest thing. I have one in my truck now. But, my truck doesn't talk to me. With that being said, my truck could drive automatically for me because it is a TOYOTA! (hahaha)

Remember Star Trek and their communicator things? Now, I have a Nextel phone that does the exact same thing! Do you remember Miami Vice and how cool Don Jonson was with his HUGE 1980's cell phone he pulled out of his sleek Ferrari Testarossa? And here we are today, complaining that cell phones are getting too big, haha. The only thing I'm waiting for is the flying Delorean. Mark my words, one day, I'm going to be driving around with a Delorean, modified as an exact movie replica from Back to the Future of course! It may not be able to fly, it may not be able to go back in time, but it will be the ultimate wedding machine I swear. I will show up to a wedding in one of these... Wouldn't I be the coolest wedding guy if I did that?

Ahh....dreams....

On a different but serious subject, business wise, I will be launching a new portion of my website dedicated purely to travel. While I do offer travel to all of my couples, I am going to attack the travel industry with more tenacity. After hearing horrible service related stories regarding online travel companies, I think I need to do this to truly help out couples from getting ripped. I'm planning on launching the travel portion to my website next month. So look for a very-small redesign to my company website by the middle of next month. I'll be blogging about hotels, things to do in Hawaii, restaurants, you name it, all in the name of educating the Hawaii bound traveler on how to save money here, and to be a smarter traveler.

Alright my brides and fans, I am outta here. I'm going to turn on the DVR, and fall asleep watching my favorite TV personality, Neil Cavuto.
