Okay I must be the last person on the planet to figure these things out… just subscribe in iTunes and then remember to open iTunes and listen. Sheesh.

Automator in the Morning

November 24, 2008

Every morning I open the same applications and rather than type each of them into Spotlight or open them one at a time from the dock I made an Automator application to do this for me. Automator comes with OS X and it is easy to create your own:

  1. Open Applications » Automator

  2. Choose Custom in the splash screen that pops up

    automatorsplash

  3. Type launch into the search box in Automator

  4. Drag Launch Application into the working area on the right

  5. Use the pull-down menu to select the application you want

    automator

  6. Repeat for all the applications you want to launch together

  7. File » Save As » Application

Now you can just type a few letters into Spotlight to get started every morning or place it in your dock if you’re a dock user.

Time Map

Time Map is an OS X Dashboard Widget that overlays city locations on a world map. It shows the current time in your selected cities and tells you at a glance whether it’s day or night anywhere in the world.

I don’t usually like dashboard widgets but this one is beautiful.
