Start My Day - Automatically loads your favorite apps, websites and music

The idea of automation has fascinated me ever since that Bond movie with the alarm clock bed that dumped Bond and his lover of the moment into his indoor pool. This app won't come close, but it's a neat concept nonetheless. From the developer:

"With Start My Day, a user can pre-configure a list of applications web links and music to automatically load using an Alarm clock. A user also has the option of running them manually from the list. The application supports dragging and dropping items to the list as well as browsing for items."

Sikuli - Free, picture-driven automation (Video)

This app uses screenshots to automate almost any computer task. How to explain? Here, let the developer do it:

"Sikuli is a visual technology to search and automate graphical user interfaces (GUI) using images (screenshots). The first release of Sikuli contains Sikuli Script, a visual scripting API for Jython, and Sikuli IDE, an integrated development environment for writing visual scripts with screenshots easily. Sikuli Script automates anything you see on the screen without internal API's support. You can programmatically control a web page, a desktop application running on Windows/Linux/Mac OS X, or even an iphone application running in an emulator."

If that explanation leaves you clueless, try this video:
