I think I’ll write some more about how I feel about Apple lately tonight if I can find some time, but as I watch the newsfeeds all come in from CES, I can’t help but feel like it’s sort of irrelevant. I mean, there’s a bunch of cool stuff there, but it just feels like a whole mess of it will be irrelevant after MacWorld tomorrow. That’s how large Jobs is towering over the industry. It just feels like everyone is guessing about what might be neat, in preparation for hearing it from Steve. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe Vista Media Edition will be huge. Maybe.

It may just be an indication of how deeply I’ve been absorbed into the whole Apple Cult, but I came to generally the same conclusion last night while wading through miles of CES stuff. Almost nothing there interested me at all — a few “yeah, that’s kinda neat but…” moments, but by and large I’m just waiting to see what Apple does next. Right now, even before MacWorld, there’s a few thousand dollars worth of Apple stuff I’d buy if I had the cash at hand. I expect that number will just increase tomorrow.

John, I think you should have Kathy play, “I’m feeling lucky” with your birthday, and just agree now to buy whatever Steve announces tomorrow. It’s fate!
