We’ve had an awesome holiday so far: China Mobile got the iPhone, we’ve installed solar panels, and son David has personal news under NDA.

It’s odd that after my family has made more than 50 dozen Christmas cookies, I’m making homemade ice cream tonight. Hey, it’s Christmas.

Those unlocked iPhones don’t represent demand saturation, but rather how powerful iPhone demand must be to settle for 2G service. #ygmd

Question: Despite all the griping about how late iPhone is to get to China Mobile, isn’t it one of the first LTE phones on that network?

Baked another 13 dozen Christmas cookies today, bringing our seasonal total to 43 dz. We really miss that extra week to push us over 50 dz.
