Using AppleScript and launchd to open a bunch of URLs every morning when I get into work. (Why not just a shell script in cron? If your Mac is asleep when the run is scheduled, launchd will run it when you next wake it from sleep.)

set urls to {"http://somedashboard.interwebz"}
set urls to urls & {"https://github.com/org/project1/compare/master@%7B36.hours.ago%7D...master"}
set urls to urls & {"https://github.com/org/project2/compare/master@%7B36.hours.ago%7D...master"}

tell application "Google Chrome"
	make new window
	tell first window
		set the first tab's URL to item 1 of urls
		repeat with counter from 2 to length of urls
			make new tab with properties {URL:item counter of urls}
		end repeat
		set the active tab index to 1
	end tell
end tell

Sweet, thanks!
