This document discusses Yahoo! Pipes, a tool for combining and processing data feeds. It introduces Neil Crosby, who uses Pipes and carries a robot with him. Crosby explains that Pipes has three key aspects - modules, debugging, and layout. He outlines the basic process for creating a pipe by starting with data, processing it, and outputting the results. While initially confusing, Pipes is described as being simple once the three aspects are understood. The document encourages any questions and provides links to learn more about Pipes.
