Just A Brief Reality Bite
Hello all;
Once again I should apologize for not posting as much in the past many days. Between work and life, things have been (nicely) heavy. As of last night even, my laptop went black on me (really, I have no idea if it was overheated or what), and so that made me consider for a moment this walk and call to use tech a bit more than I have figured that I would. Let me explain some.
I like the idea of using a PDA, and moreso in the past months since getting a Treo, I see the point of using a Treo and getting myself form being infront of a computer screen a lot (at least when I am not working). In many respects, I have found that having a Treo has made it a lot easier to facilitate ministry opportunities by being able to send an item via email, contact a resource, or look up an item; where if in not having it, that would be harder, and in many cases not conductive to timely communication.
So now I am PDA only. Its an aspect of life that I am used to because of a time earlier where I did not have a net connection and did all email and much posting via work and/or my Treo. I see this time now as a chance to better understand the mobile aspect of this reality. If you will, is a PDA as conductive to productivity as I have wanted it to be? Or, is it a niche device capable of short stints as a replacement device, but not yet able to be the main device. This is something that I will chronicle over the next many weeks, and may even be something that I stick with for a lot longer.
I do admit, its kinda scary on my part. I will even be doing some web dev via the Treo. This thing will be getting a firm workout. And hopefully, I am not biting off more than what I or the Treo can chew.
