iGTD - yet another powerful, integrated GTD app



I know, I know - we've been blogging so many GTD apps lately that you probably needed to create a new task list just to look through them and make a decision. iGTD, however, packs one heckuva punch, so I thought it would be worth mentioning. While it includes all the typical features one probably expects from a GTD implementation these days, iGTD brings a lot of power to the table with features like Address Book integration, drag and drop task creation from files, URLs and Mail.app messages, task tagging, 'maybe' tasks, flagging, a unique 'wait for' task class, keyboard shortcuts, Quicksilver integration, phone/PDA syncing, a menubar helper, searching... and even more.

With all these features, iGTD is amazingly donationware, and I highly recommend showing the developer some love after all this work.

The obligatory SmashMyiPhone.com debutes

Here we go again - as if smashing one's iPod (and Playstation 3, and Wii...) wasn't enough, someone has already registered SmashMyiPhone.com and is - obviously - taking donations to purchase an iPhone whose number is already up. Unless this site finds a workaround to purchasing an iPhone sans-contract, however, *someone* will also be paying for the next two years by being locked into a contract. Will it be worth it? Has the novelty worn off?

If you want my two cents (respectively): no, and yes - a thousand times yes. Still - will they net enough donations to demolish one of the most anticipated mobile phones in history? Only time can tell.

Widget Watch: iPodage song calculator

Remember that iPod storage calculator iLounge released? It seems Christian Chladek, maker of such other widgets as the Morse Code Translator, was inspired to provide an iPod calculator in widget form. iPodage allows you to pick your iPod model and adjust all the vital settings to do some quick and dirty math on just how many tunes you can cram into your pocket for the road. For bonus points, the widget can even shrink out of your way should you need to reclaim some Dashboard space.

iPodage is donationware and available from Christian's site.

Contribute to hurricane Katrina relief via the iTunes Music Store

redcrossThis post is just a quick break from our usual Apple-centric coverage. The catastrophe in America's Gulf Coast is really all I can think about lately. The video I see on the news every night is almost surreal in its unimaginable horror. I don't even pretend to be able to understand what those people are being forced to endure. I think about my own kids and I just can't imagine it.

A donation link that will send funds directly to the Red Cross has been added to the iTunes Music Store. I've read that monetary donations are more effective that sending "things" just now, like clothing, etc, as they only clog up the already congested distribution of goods. If you can, consider making a donation.

Tip of the Day

Use Spotlight as a reference tool. Type any word in the Spotlight box and one of the top entries will be a definition. Click on it, and it will bring up the dictionary application to check the word in either the dictionary, thesaurus, Apple database, or Wikipedia.
