How Do You Carry Your Mobile Tech
In the past two days, I have seen a few different means by which ministers carry their tech with them. One has two mobile phones (personal and business) and a laptop. From those he is basically able to keep work and business seperate and then also be responsive to matters no matter where he is. The other person has a desktop at home and another at work, but mainly uses their PDA as the information manager between the two of them.
Granted, there are products such as this that can make carrying a few mobile phones easier, freeing you up to carry a laptop. And also the idea of the PDA as the manager inbetween also has merits; but what does your tech setup look like and how would you change some aspect of it to better fit your needs?

Okay... I simply refuse to own an arm phone band. Ever.
I'm with Tre. That would be embarrassing. Besides, that guys tie is WAY to short. I work to make sure I've always got shirts with pockets on them and the Palm stays there. I've learned to bend and move in such a way that I don't loose it after I lost the first one that way (my beloved V). Cellphone usually stays in my left front pants pocket or jacket pocket. The "geekiest" think I do is that I do wear a thumb drive on a lanyard around my neck and that because at my desk at work I've got six different computers on two different networks and not all of them are interconnected but I have lots of data that has to go back and forth between them.
Additionally, I go through a number of PC's in testing or whatever, and often times don't have the same laptop from one month to the next (or one week to the next in some cases). Thumb drives are very, very important to me, and I use no less than 4 on a regular basis as I move from PC to PC but the one I carry around my neck is critical to me, it stores all of my personal documents, financial stuff, SplashID backups and so forth. It would truly be a tragedy if that got lost.
But I do try to keep my "look" normal. I can't imagine geeking out like the guy in the picture here. That's too much. And for the record, I don't even own a blue tooth head set, so when you see the guy in the shopping mall walking around with his head set on, that ain't me, ok?
Grace and peace.
