A new #automation to get a notification when a package is delivered:

Step 1: automatically forward Amazon shipping emails to a monitored inbox

I ended up using #n8n for a bunch of other data collection tasks:

☁️ I've always suspected that the cloudier it is, the less happy I am. I track cloud coverage and temps every 4 hours via OpenWeatherMap
🦣 Does posting to social media impact my mood? Count today's Mastodon posts
🗣️ What does the impact of using social media have on my day? Pull data from the #RescueTime API for my productivity score and a few categories
☑️ WIP: How many tasks did I complete in a day?

Been going down the #lifetracking rabbit hole over the past few months. What previously started as a bunch of manual inputs is slowly getting more automated.

Yesterday's contribution was pulling data from the Fitbit API for weight, steps, sleep quality, and water consumption. Using #n8n, it looks a little something like this.

Anything that'll be accurate just after midnight I collect shortly after at 1am. Other things like my weight or sleep stats get collected at noon.

I've dismissed entire books because the author has made a point I've disagreed with. Maybe that's too harsh of an approach.

Rick Rubin's note to the reader could sit in the preface of many books. It's a good reminder.

I saw Rick Rubin's book while at the bookstore the other day. It reminded me that I had the ebook in my queue to read.

Rick has an amazing way with words. This one's going to deserve a physical copy on my bookshelf, I can tell already.
