Today’s San Francisco Chronicle has more details on the upcoming wedding of Google founder Larry Page and his girlfriend Lucy Southworth. The Chronicle confirms that it will be happening the weekend of December 8, but they can’t seem to find the location. As we told you earlier this month, it’s taking place on Necker Island, the Caribbean hideaway owned by Virgin billionaire Richard Branson. Branson, naturally, is expected to attend the event, along with San Francisco god-mayor Gavin Newsom and “many current and former Google employees” (Perhaps ex-girlfriend Marissa Mayer?). One person, though, is skipping the bash.

That’s former U.S. Vice President and current Google “senior advisor” Al Gore, who has a previous engagement in Oslo, Norway that weekend — he’s receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. (”Larry Page allowed that, on the list of excuses, that was acceptable,” Gore told the Chronicle.) Gore is hoping to attend via videoconferencing, destroying any pretense of this being a high-society soirée –Necker’s going to be Nerd Island for the weekend.

The slight case of sniffles and coughs making the rounds in SF has been dubbed the Woz Cold. Urban legend has it that Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak appeared to introduce Fake Steve blogger Dan Lyons on the Peninsula a week ago despite a nagging head and/or chest cold, depending on who you ask. Woz shook hands and buddied up for photos at the event. Now we’re all snuffling and Apple’s stock is … oh wait, it’s back near 170. Never mind.

“I don’t know of a single developer who has had his/her hands on Android,” says Valleywag honorary staffer Robert Scoble, referring to the open-source software development kit for Google’s new phone platform. I don’t know of any, either. That’s odd, because ponytailed hackers usually make it a point to tell me about these things as a way to rub their snob status in the face of the hated, hated mainstream media. Sorry, where was I? Oh yeah: If you’re actually working with Android code and aren’t at Google, drop me a line.
