Are You Using IFTTT? You Should Be.

What's IFTTT you ask? That would be "IF This Then That". Think of it like the internet as you use it already, but automated. Talk about convenient. It works sort of like the human nervous system. When one thing happens, it triggers another, automatically. Take for example your iPhone or Android photos. With IFTTT, you can tell the service to take every photo you take with your smartphone and upload it to a cloud service. Or you can tell it to upload those pictures to Facebook, Picasa, Twitter or whatever else. These automations are called "recipes" and any of them you make can be shared for others to use, as you can use recipes created by other people as well. All the current services compatible with IFTTT are listed here, and the list is constantly growing. And if you felt like browsing the recipes to get an idea of some of the automations you can check those here.

(side note: if you're reading this from the twitter post, click on it and you'll notice that it was posted to twitter through IFTTT, since Blogger doesn't have an auto-tweet option. Nifty eh?)

Bill Burr (@billburr) Is The Best Comic Out Right Now

If ever there was a guy who found a way to make always  being pissed off funny, it's Bill Burr (@billburr on twitter). If you ask me there isn't a better comedian out right now that's better at being funny than "ol' Billy Freckle Face" here. He can show you a lot better than I can tell you, so I provided you with clips from his three stand up specials (all on Netflix by the way) and also a link to his podcast, where every monday he rants about random things to himself, and it's so hilarious you start to wonder what's wrong with him. Check it out.

Why Do I Do This?:

Check It Out: Thirds Eye View by @Al_Patron

My boy Al Patron, aka @Al_Patron, aka Little Bastard Boy, aka NYK Coach Mike Woodson debuted on the literary scene with his original piece Thirds Eye View. The best way I can describe this book is: someone was recording that one friend we all have who always brings up useful topics in conversation, and then wrote down what he said, in novel form. The best way for you to understand what i am saying, is to read what Sir Patron is saying. Check the links below for your portal into the third eye. And also keep a look out for my next post about his second entry Forks In The Road.
