iPhone Sales by Quarter

Posted in Technology on January 22nd, 2009 by Todd – 4 Comments

When searching for information on historical iPhone sales earlier today I was shocked to discover that no one had simply tabulated quarterly and cumulative sales of the iPhone. I found a few posts related to the rise in Safari traffic on websites and some information for the first few quarters but little for Apple’s Fiscal 2008.

You may be thinking, “Fushimi Inari whaaa?” but I can assure you that you know exactly what I’m talking about. If you’re ever in Kyoto, definitely visit Fushimi. If you’ve ever in Fushimi definitely skip the sparrow. You’ll thank me on both counts.

Two Front Teeth

We thought it might happen at Christmas and give us cause to sing that old song, “All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth…” but it came and went with Emma’s two front teeth merely wobbling. As of this morning, though, both of the shiny white front teeth are gone!

Time for Thanksgiving

We stayed home this year for Thanksgiving. It was a bit smaller than I’m used to from childhood (no “kids table” filled with cousins) but it was nice not having to travel.
Our menu was excellent, as usual.

I Am Girl

Cora, a mere four months old in these pictures, already has a bit of cunning hidden in her grin. Today she grins and poops on me… Tomorrow? She’ll grin and take my keys.
