Since we're sharing, this diddy:
30 06 * * 1-5 osascript
$HOME/Develop/pmade/rc/macosx/scripts/iTunes/wake-up.applescript
Kicks off an applescript, which:
1. Runs a shell script that pulls down the wunder.com weather XML and
converts it to an audio file using say(1).
2. Tells iTunes to switch to the remote AirPlay speakers in my
bedroom. Sets the volume to 0, starts an ambient playlist, and
gradually increases the volume over the next 5 minutes.
3. Plays a wake-up message and the weather forecast for the day.
4. Switches to a SomaFM radio station.
A.K.A.: super nerdy alarm clock.
