How to be an Author
I suggest you look at HOW TO GET MY JOB by Jerry Pournelle
It is the core that I have built on myself, though nowhere near as well as Mr. Pournelle.
For more information on him see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Pournelle
You may also want to look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randall_Garrett that Pournelle mentions.

How to Activate iPad or iPod Touch without a Credit Card
[Updated 2/21/2013 fixed link]
You can activate a ipad or ipod Touch without a CC (Credit Card) but it does take a few extra steps.
You will have to create an " iTunes App Store account" first. Very important, this is were a lot of frustration can happen (don't ask me how I know), make sure you are in the App Store, not the iTunes Store.
Then you must install a free app, any free app will work AFAIK, this is basically a work around to create account without CC as far as I can tell.
Rest is pretty straight forward.
You select create new account.
When you get to payment options, select "None" as the payment option.
Step by step instructions with clear pictures at Apple Support: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534

How to improve Prius seats
Don't know how practical this is, but at this link someone adds lumbar support and heat to a factory Prius seat.
I am going to have to do more research on this, I really would like to replace my current car with a Prius, but the factory seats in a Prius are crummy.
Here is Rostra link, the company that sells the aftermarket lumbar support. They can be bought here http://www.summitracing.com/parts/RPC-250-1454 though there are two models and I am not sure this is correct model for Prius.
