The 37signals weblog highlights an Automator workflow that downloads the front pages of popular newspapers from previously mentioned web site Newseum and combines them into one consolidated PDF you can print off and read on your daily commute.

Weblog TUAW details how to take advantage of your Mac’s built-in automation tool, Automator, to send out birthday greetings on the day-of to everyone in your Address Book. Using the Birthday field in Address Book, putting together automated birthday emails is just a two-step process in Automator. Naturally, you shouldn’t rely on this method as your only means of remembering and recognising birthdays, but it’s a nice way to send simple notes and get a birthday conversation started, especially with people you aren’t in touch with that often. While you’re at it, you may also want to import Address Book birthdays into iCal. Mac Automation: Birthday greetings [TUAW]
