The week is almost over, and it’s the time to look back on how the week went down and share it with you. The big holiday weekend in the U.S. started the week off on a good note. It was good to spend time with friends and family, and it drove home to me how important it is to unplug from the grid once in a while. The work week following the holiday made for a busy time, with less downtime, which countered the holiday goodness. I spent some time thinking about cheap netbook alternatives and found quite a few of them. Come on in and share my week with me.

We are preparing to head into a big holiday weekend here in the U. S. and before I do that it’s time to share my past week at Mobile Tech Manor with you. I kept my nose to the computer screen pretty much all week and revisited a program that makes keeping all those bits of wisdom I run across right where I need them. Come on in and share my week for a bit.

It is the end of the week and that can only mean it’s time for my favorite thing, to share my week with you once again. This is the 45th week, which is almost a year of sharing the goings on at Mobile Tech Manor (MTM) with you. Wow, that’s a lot of sharing. This week has been busy on a lot of different levels and it’s kept me from playing with the toys as much as I like to. There was a new ThinkPad in the house, a new Android phone announced that looks incredible, and I spent quality time with the Palm Pre. Come on in and let’s talk tech.

This week has raced to a close as fast as can be, which means it’s time for another heart-to-heart about how the week was spent. It seemed to speed by at a dizzying pace, no doubt due to a new phone and updates to an old one. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about ultra-mobile PCs (UMPCs) and reviews and read three full novels. Sheesh, no wonder I’m tired. Come on in and let’s visit for a while.

It is Friday, the day when we get to chat about what happened at Mobile Tech Manor over the past week. It was the week of the Palm Pre, I still had UMPCs scattered everywhere and I finally got into the Google Voice beta program. Come on in and share my week, we’ll have fun, I promise.

My favorite time of the week is here and I am looking forward to sharing my week at Mobile Tech Manor (MTM) with you. It was a fun week, with new gadgets on every tabletop at the Manor and at times I couldn’t even make up my mind which one to play with first. That’s a great problem to have if you’re a mobile tech nut like me. The Viliv folks have me with three different UMPCs and it’s been an interesting time getting back to my handheld roots. I also had some of my stable of smartphones updated this week and caught a new mouse. Step into MTM and visit with me a while.

My favorite time of the week is here for the 41st time, when I get to share how my week went down in my home office, Mobile Tech Manor (MTM). I had a nuclear stress test this week and my mobile gear helped me get through that stressful event (sorry, couldn’t help that one). The National Spelling Bee was this week and I couldn’t help feeling so very inferior in the spelling department after watching these young kids. A new gadget will be appearing in MTM shortly and I’ll tease you with a little bit about it. Come on in and I’ll share the entire week with you.

It blows me away that this is already the fortieth weekly column in which I share my week with you. My home office, Mobile Tech Manor (MTM), has been a bustling place this week and I have bounced from one thing to another. I had a couple of things unrelated to tech blow me away this week and I bought a new gadget. Come on in and sit a spell and I’ll share my week with you.

My favorite time of the week is here once again, the time I get to share the highlights of my week with you, dear reader. I spent a major part of the week with gadgets smaller than most and finding the best way to incorporate them into my work. The tools seem to be getting smaller but not less capable, which has been eye-opening. Step into Mobile Tech Manor and spend a few moments looking back at how I spent my time.

It has been a super busy week for me at Mobile Tech Manor, and this weekly recap of the goings on here will be shorter than usual. I had my nose to the grindstone most of the time and that’s pretty boring to talk about. Come on in anyway, and share the busy week with me. I’m sure we’ll find something interesting to talk about.
