ifttt
It’s been a while since I’ve posted any geek tools so it’s great that I’ve found a new one! The premise of ifttt is simple: if [this] then [that]. For example, If the weather tomorrow is going to be rainy then send me an email, or a tweet, or an text message. By adding various channels such as Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, etc. you can open up a wealth of possibilities. You can even use recipes that others have created for inspiration. I’m not 100% sure how I’ll use this tool but it’s definitely worth a look if you’re into automation!
“If I can stop one heart from breaking
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.”
A poem by Emily Dickinson.
“How happy is the little stone
That rambles in the road alone,
And doesn’t care about careers,
And exigencies never fears;
Whose coat of elemental brown
A passing universe put on;
And independent as the sun,
Associates or glows alone,
Fulfilling absolute decree
In causal simplicity.”
Simplicity by Emily Dickinson.
