IFTTT got a little more interesting a few weeks ago when they released their Android app. Because Android is far less locked down than iOS it gives access to parts of the system that let you create some very interesting recipes. In this example, I have created a recipe that says IF I take a photo on my Nexus 5 using Instagram THEN set that photo as my phone's wallpaper. So every Instagram shot I take ends up being my wallpaper until I take a new one.

130 - One I Prepared Earlier
Day 130. You can do some really interesting things using an online service called If This Then That, otherwise referred to as IFTTT. This service acts as the "glue" that sticks various web APIs together. It basically takes any online service that has a write-API and connects with any other online service that has a read-API, to create what it calls a "recipe", so that IF something happens THEN something else will happen. For example, if you're seeing this post on Facebook, it's because IFTTT has automatically put it there.... eg, I have a recipe that says IF I post to the Daily Create blog THEN also post it to Facebook.

003 - Instagram Collages
Day 3 of the Daily Create challenge. My son Alex has spent the last 7 months travelling around the world, and will be home at the end of the month. As a belated Christmas gift I went through his Instagram photos and used some of my favourites to make him a series of collages using InDesign. I still need to get them framed, but I think they'll look good when they are behind glass.
PS: These are supposed to be a surprise for Alex so you might think it odd that I'm posting it online... but I'm 99.99999% sure he doesn't read anything I put online. Regardless, keep this to yourself ok? ;-)
