kgtd: append project names to actions

PaulG over at kgtd forums asked this question, which I also want to know about. I'm cross posting it here hoping to find some answers:

kGTD seems to work quite well with iCal except for one thing: it would be useful if my tasks had the Project name at the head of them so that glancing at them on iCal, I?d know which project the task relates to. Right now I have my tasks separated by contexts as separate calendars such as ?Calls?, ?Errands? etc.

If I have a project header like ?Web Site Development? and I create a task like ?look over proposal? or ?call Frank re: the budget?, it would be nice if my task in iCal would read: ?Web Site Development: look over proposal? or ?Web Site Development: call Frank re the budget?.

Does any one have a suggestion on how to do this without having to add the project name manually to the head of each task?

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. »
