Aaaaand that's a wrap on the campaign! Closed out at 1,164 backers and at 1015% of the original goal.
Thank you.
While I wait on funds to clear, I'll be wrapping up the final touches on the calendar. I've got a photo or two I'm still tinkering with, and I'm having all the dates on the calendar reviewed for accuracy for a third time.
I hope to have timeline details from the printers soon, and I'll keep everyone posted. What an amazing 30 days!
Some Facts, Figures & A Photo

I've been hard at work this week wrapping up the photography for the calendar, and I couldn't be happier with how the photos are turning out. I do not want to spoil the images in advance, but I will share one of my favorite new shots with you today:
I've also been preparing the calendar pages themselves for a (hopefully) final round of fact-checking. I've been back over the dates, making some changes to what I've decided to highlight. To that end, I've tallied up how many "hardware holidays" are in the project:
- Mac: 49
- iPhone: 10
- iPad: 14
- Apple Watch: 8
- iPod: 21
- Other: 20
Those numbers may change a little bit as I wrap things up, but the trends and patterns that emerge when you look at so many dates in Apple's history are fun to observe. Apple really loves fall releases, ahead of its holiday quarter, but I was surprised to see how many things they've announced in March over the last several years, too. A few months proved to be pretty challenging when it came to decide what to highlight.
As I write this, the project has passed 1,000 backers! Thank you all. More soon. 🧡
Holy moly!

Hello there, lovely Apple nerds —
I'm blown away at how quickly the project hit its initial goal! I am so excited to be bringing this project to life!
I don't want to be disrespectful of your time or Inbox, so I don't plan on publishing too many updates, but you can always follow along on Twitter or on my blog.
Thank you all for your support.🧡

What an amazing three weeks! I've been hard at work polishing details and working on photos.
I've also been focusing on the stickers for backers of the "Get It All" pledge level.
And they are amazing:
The artwork is by my buddy Jelly, who also did the avatar I use on Twitter and other websites. I love the personality in the stickers, and I simply cannot pick a favorite. I can't wait to see photos of them on other people's laptops!
With one week to go until the campaign ends, I couldn't be more excited about how things have gone. Thank you all for your support. 🧡
