Dear Apple,
You had me at “retina display”.

Gizmodo: What to Expect at Apple’s Event Tomorrow
Some will immediately dismiss the thing Apple rolls out as a failure. They will note Apple already reached its high water mark, and that this thing, whatever it is, is not as good as what Google or Microsoft or Sony has to offer. (Well, it’s possible no one will mention Sony.) They will note the feature set on the others is much greater than that on the New Apple Thing. “The others all have four ports and it only has three!”
Everyone else will note that these people are idiots.
Sounds about right.

What’s Been Up: Slow down the cakes!
So many things going on! We (I) here at Hurry up the Cakes are (am) overwhelmed!
And that is not a bad thing. Here’s a sampling of what’s been up lately:
What’s been up (February 12-17, 2012)
Forgive the long gap between posts–it’s been a busy week over here at Hurry up the Cakes. I’ve been finishing up all my work obligations before our trip to Singapore this Tuesday, and UFC Undisputed 3 was just released and I’ve been waist-deep in it since yesterday.
But now here I am, and here’s what’s been up recently:
Wrestling crashed my Star Wars party
Earlier today, I hosted a Lego Star Wars themed birthday party for my new friend Rafa. I had to dress up as a Jedi Knight, a sort-of-generic Luke Skywalker/Obi-Wan Kenobi amalgam, while wielding a blue Anakin Skywalker lightsaber.
I resembled what Jedi Knights might look like if they retire and stay out of action for a few years.
Hurry up the Kenobi
The whole night, the children, very loudly, kept calling me “Jedi Mikey”. “Jedi! Jedi!”, they’d shout, trying to grab my attention by challenging me to lightsaber duels, or to hand them their loot bags, or to reward them with prizes for games they didn’t win.
It felt pretty good. But it was not the highlight of the evening.
