The Resident Geek: Tech Advice for Your Time, Tasks & Toys

I love my Mac. It’s faster than my PC, it’s prettier than my PC, and it’s smaller. It’s not as compatible though. This really becomes an issue in regards to mobile devices. Unless you have an iPhone or iPod, it’s not likely to natively sync to your Mac. The answer to this dilemma is third party software. But which should you choose? There’s plenty of software claiming to easily and conveniently synchronize your device with mac but which is best?

It’s hard to work in the GTD (Getting Things Done) world and not at least HEAR of “Remember The Milk”. As one of the leading Web/GTD software products available, Remember the Milk (RTM) has an unrestrained community spanning the globe. Applications for RTM include the iPhone, Windows Mobile, Blackberry, and all major operating systems. Before examining RTM, I had three questions in my mind: What makes it so popular? How well does it support GTD and TRO (Total, Relaxed Organization)? What does “Remember the Milk” mean? Although I never did find out why they call it “Remember the Milk”, I did find the answer to my other two questions. So, after being subjected to a slew of tests, configurations and enduring a great deal of poking and prodding, RTM has now been officially reviewed by The Resident Geek.
