All web GTD

I've determined that my current lifestyle can't really do a single desktop (like the outlook client (which I loved) or even any other single-machine software). I have 3 offices and on any given day will be in at least 2 of them plus moving around. However when I think about it, I have pretty darned near ubiquitious web access. Even when I'm not in an office I have either wireless or can use my phone.

So, I am attempting to implement an all web GTD arrangement.

What I've come up with so far is:
igoogle - customizable home page that shows the next 3 together:
gmail - used vanilla - I tag mail to projects but don't store actions in here
gcal - hard landscape
remember the milk - task lists, by day plus undated at the bottom

Anyone have any feedback? Done anything similar? What? How did it work?

Just remember that your ubiquitious web access is liable to go away at one of your sites, just when you need it most. You might consider a paper or partially-paper system, or an electronic system that you can use from a USB flash drive (along with a good way of syncing and backing up said drive).

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
