Ever wonder what I do when I’m not blogging, writing, or geeking it up? Well, the truth is rather disappointing I’m afraid…I just lay around in my room all day doing gong hits. Take a gander.
AT&T released a ridiculous figure, below projections, of the number of iPhone activations - 146,000. Although that number is in my mind high enough anyway, fickle investors everywhere dropped their Apple stock in a heartbeat. It was a huge blow to the Apple stock, bringing it down several points. Now first and foremost I’m angry at the investors — what are you, stupid? The iPhone is the most successful cellphone EVER, and you’re complaining because the initial number isn’t quite as high as projected? You’re all morons, and you’re going to lose a lot of money because of it.
But next let me take out some of my frustration on AT&T. What were you thinking releasing that? The idea is to make it look like you’re doing WELL!!! You don’t do everything you can to make the number look SMALL! Apple reports that in the FIRST TWO DAYS OF SALES there were over 270,000 iPhone sales. They admit to some activation problems, which is why the number of activations is lower than the number of sales. Still, the analysts look at these numbers and assume they are to date. THEY AREN’T!!! Look at the print! This is the first two days we’re talking about, which happened to be the end of the quarter! Since then that number could be 2 million for all we know!
I can’t believe that WordPress doesn’t natively support Flash. It’s blogging software, come on now! I’m having issues getting my first Vlog up here, which has video of the new Cocaine cans along with some of my own dialog. I’ll get it up as soon as I can, and hopefully have more stuff coming your way shortly.
My time is very divided at this point in time…I’ve got CFR work, which is slow right now but will be picking up in earnest very soon. I’ve also got some Internet Marketing research to do, and I can put plenty of time into that. In addition to these, I’m heading up a new project, Blood Bath II. Check it out here. We’re looking for helpers on it if you are interested and have skills in that area. And then there’s this here blog, which I haven’t put as much time into as I should ^_^
I never thought I’d be busier in the summer than during the school year, but sho’ nuff!!! But hey, excitement keeps me alive.
