One Billion iPhone App downloads. That's one for every seven people in the world.

No joke. The world population is 6,706,993,152 according to a July 2008 estimate. So the iPhone App store hitting one billion downloads is pretty significant, especially considering the fact that the it has only been a little more than two years since the iPhone was first introduced and less than a year since the iPhone 3G and the App Store were launched.

A widespread flu virus

This is not an excuse.

My ears finally popped yesterday and I can officially say that I have gotten over the worst case of the flu I’ve had to deal with in six years. For a while all I could hear was myself chewing. I have a new-found sympathy for fishes living in fish bowls.

There is a saying in Spanish about healthy minds leading to healthy bodies (I’m sure it’s true for other languages), however, I’ve confirmed that there is nothing the mind will do if the body doesn’t feel like cooperating and I can think of other instances where that is true.
