Sometimes I feel like some sort of leper amongst the tech crowd because not only do I not have a smartphone, but I haven't even had a functioning cell phone for over a year now.

There have been times when a bare-bones cell would have been useful, but most of the time I just work without it. Business communication is over Skype or email. Thing is, I spend so much time on my laptop doing computery stuff that the last thing I want is to have yet another fully-fledged computer in my pocket to nag me all the time. I find the lack of cell phone to be freeing in a way.

The downside is that I have to turn down lots of mobile-based work :)
