iGTD - Getting Things Done on a Mac

iGTDIt seems there's more Getting Things Done inspired software packages out there than there are Flash games littering the web. It's understandable; GTD has become the geek mantra for productivity, and finding the right tool to suit your GTD needs is like searching for the holy grail.

For Mac users, that holy grail may be iGTD. iGTD is a free Mac program that pulls from all of the GTD principles to provide a very concise platform for manging your projects and next actions. Links with Quicksilver and the ability to handle URLs that are drag-and-dropped onto it make using iGTD a seamless experience, and it even synchronizes your tasks out to iCal. In fact, the pairing of iCal and iGTD work very well together. iGTD functions as the management interface, where you manipulate your tasks and projects, and iCal can be your dashboard when you're actually trying to get things done.

If you're still searching about for the right GTD solution and you're a Mac user, give iGTD a try before you shell out big bucks for some other solution. It's free, so there's nothing to lose, right? Except maybe a couple days of messing around with all of your lists... but that's productive, right?

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

CiviballsI have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
