This might be fun.  I've got relatives in New Bedford and that's my 
birthday, so perhaps the wife and I can make a weekend of it.

But I have an ulterior motive.  I would like to sit in back and use my 
own framework to develop the same app that the "bake off" is cooking, 
then compare.  Hopefully I could pick up a few things from Cake and 
perhaps they'd pick up a few from me, no?
