GTD for Both Home and Work

I'm trying to figure out the most optimal GTD system that will live at home, the office, and everywhere in between. Here's my rundown...

I'm a developer who commutes by bus to my office. I have a Mac at work, but a PC at home (for now). I have 4 kids who are all into their own extra-curricular stuff all the time. I also have a Palm Tungsten C and a barebones mobile phone that has no SMS or text messaging capabilities -- it just calls people.

In short, I need a GTD system that I can access from home, work, and anywhere else. I've been checking out Vitalist, Sandy, Jott, and a few others and the overwhelming plethora of options is giving my brain a hurty.

Is anyone else out there in a similar dynamic? What works for you? What doesn't?

Thanks in advance!

GTD for Both Home and Work

I use ThinkingRock on a USB flash Drive that I plug In to Either Mac Or PC at home or work. For info on how to do this follow this link http://www.thinkingrock.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1739&sid=e0df81f01264443bdbdd8649d5337175 Also I use a palm and have created a task category for jotting down thoughts for later transferring manually to Thinking Rock

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. »
