2013 Annual Snapshot

2013 Annual Snapshot

This is my annual Snapshot. I also do ones I do every month, and I should have the regular monthly Snapshot out later today.

It amazes me to see how much things change from one year to the next.  I’m also going to compare some different things than I do in the monthly ones. I’ll use the data I take on January 1st of each of the years, except for some of the broader topics (like number of Kindle models).
