Yes, I’m in Hawaii right now, enjoying the sunny weather. I thought I’d share with everyone the five reasons I’d rather be here in Hawaii instead of at Macworld.

  • If I need to update my iPhone, I can do it from anywhere. I don’t need to be at Macworld to upgrade something. I’m sitting here using my wireless broadband connection right from the cruise ship, so I’ll be able to download any updates!
  • In Hawaii, there are no smelly Mac geeks. This is true! I’ve read it in Wikipedia! Mac and PC geeks alike have a “bouquet” about them. Have you ever left eggs out too long? Well, that’s the Mac geek smell. That’s not here in Hawaii.
  • A Mac Pro wouldn’t fit inside my luggage. I’m planning to get one, but don’t want to buy it from Macworld. I wouldn’t be able to take it with me.
  • There are no Pina Coladas at Macworld. Pina Coladas… or Macworld? You decide.
  • You can’t beat the view here in Hawaii. It’s amazing, and absolutely gorgeous. Later today, I’ll be climbing a mountain… or not.

Would you rather be at Macworld with the other geeks… or here in Hawaii with Ponzi and me?

    Aloha!
    Let me know if there is room aboard. Jenn and I will jump on the next plane out of Houston. I watched all the action from Macworld from the comfort of my oversized, leather executive chair with my Peet’s nearby. Let everyone else stand in line – I’ll harness the power of “The Internets”
    The view looks absolutely amazing. The community has really enjoyed getting to see a little piece of what Hawaii has to offer. Enjoy the rest of the trip – we look forward to the regularly scheduled antics, that only your home can offer. Oh, and we miss Wicket and Pixie, damnit! The gnomies have work to do – work to do….e ya later

    Chris,

    May I make a suggestion? My wife and I spent our honeymoon in Hawaii. If you haven’t done it already, take the Haleakala sunrise tour. Mount Haleakala is in Maui. It is absolutely stunning! You will have to get up very early in the morning, but watching the sunrise come above the mountain is amazing! More than worth the inconvenience.

    Also, I’m not a coffee drinker, but my wife is. Try the kona coffee. Even I liked it.

    You really should suggest that smell thing to those people who make the Mac commercials. That would be hilarious describing the difference between the Windows owner and the Mac owner and how they smell!
