Built on TiddlyWiki, which is an absolutely amazing bit of code! The GTD version looks pretty handy and a good fit for the Tiddlywiki.

My favorite thing about this is that it's built on the Hipster PDA (from here on MeFi), which my grandfather has been "using" for as long as I can remember. It's funny how one can create an internet meme simply by giving it a nifty name and some bandwidth.

This just blew my mind. I'd known about Tiddly before - but this is a great implementation!

Lovely stuff. Don't forget to set options.chkAnimate=false; to get rid of the annoying animation when you navigate.

Speaking of wikis as organizers, which engines allow (unix style) access control and trees ("wiki.php?node=Reading/Fiction/Humor")?

I've still got to point out that for accessibility and ease of use the hipster pda is still winning.

This is cool - it may be just what we have been looking for at home to help us get organised.

I don't get it. It's like my years-old Palm but with a clunkier interface and I have to print out cards instead of having them automatically downloaded.

Upon reading the comments in this thread, I see that I agree a lot with many in the last one.

BuddhaInABucket: Thanks. I've been trying to remember the name of the lifehacker site. I've been wanting to look there for some info and just couldn't remember the name of it for the past few days.

From a cursory glance, it looks somewhat similar to Backpack in functionality, but is client side rather than a web based service. I'm using Backpack, and even though I'm not particularly overawed by it, I don't see any reason to switch to this.

Slack-a-gogo - its a reference to the "All your Base" meme

Be glad you're not geeky enough to get it...

oops, that shoulda been the "All your base" meme

Actually, on the accessibility front, you've got to figure that someone with no arms could rig up some text to speech thing for the wiki, but what are they going to do with the hipster pda?
