Create a Blog

If you are find yourself sitting at the computer, nothing to do, and your so bored the only thing you can think to type in Google is, "extremely bored", one thing to do is to start a blog!  It doesn't matter what your blog is on, it could be on yourself for that matter.  "What I did at work today", "How many times my cat chased a fly today", or even "When I'm planning on going to sleep tonight".  Blogging is a great way to pass the time, and writing helps keep your mind busy.  There are many free blogging websites out there, but I recommend Blogger.com, it is very easy to use.

"But what if I can't write"

If you can't write, don't worry!  Even if you are terrible at writing, a blog is a still a good thing to have.  You can express yourself in whatever way you want.  You may not attract many visitors, but hey, all you need is for a place to get your mind off stuff, who cares if others see it?

Running your car on HHO

Running your car on HHO, or 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen, gas is a very realistic way to save money! I have personally experimented and use these systems on my 2002 Jeep Wrangler, and I have seen noticeable improvements in my fuel economy. I only used a small HHO generator for a 4 liter engine, so my results weren't as impressive on my jeep, but when I put the small system in a smaller engine, the results were outstanding! I need to install a larger system on my jeep to see the same results, but my jeep sure feels like it has a lot more power. Regardless of engine size, even if you put a small HHO generator on it and don't see an increase in fuel economy, you will still feel the difference. The engine runs smoother, is more responsive, and will burn a whole lot cleaner. The effect on diesel engines is greater than gasoline as well. The generators are very easy to make and install, and are easy to maintain.

Inspecting a used vehicle

Inspecting a used vehicle is a very important part of looking for a used vehicle. It can be more important than the miles on the vehicle! Oil leaks, burns oil, worn bearings, worn fuel lines, weak A/C, and weak heaters are just some of the most overlooked problems with used vehicles. Most people don't even know how to look for most of the problems!

Inspecting the fuel lines

This has to be one of the most overlooked areas of a used car. To do this you'll want to get under the vehicle and locate the fuel tank (most likely towards the back of the vehicle), and find either some rubber hoses coming from the tank, or some small metal pipes coming from the fuel tank. Follow these up until they go into the engine, looking for damage or excessive wear as you go along (rubber: any cracks or brittle tubing ; metal: any bends in the pipes). If you run into a canister of some sort, that is the fuel filter, and it is a good idea to ask when the last time it was replaced (if the car has more than 100,000 miles on the car)

How to make gold on WoW

How to Make Gold in World of Warcraft

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

In World of Warcraft, gold is important. Without it, you're really nothing but a skill bar and another name with no mount. Click the link below to learn how make obscene gold and decked out epics in a ridiculously short time
http://www.linkedtube.com/NIAFoJ8VcEI143fd11c3af46f5a56f352181f9691d9.htm

Steps

1. Until at least level 40, only choose "gathering" professions. These allow you to collect the materials ("mats") that other players use to make items. The best professions to harvest these mats are skinning, herbalism, mining and enchanting (for disenchanting). Make sure to also pick up fishing and cooking which do not count against your two-profession limit.
   
2. When you are level 20, your professions should have already made you over 100g, even after you pay for your class skills. Go buy your mount with pride! At this point if you are getting the crafter's itch, you should pick up a crafting profession such as blacksmithing, leatherworking, alchemy or jewelcrafting.
   
3. Once you hit level 58, make sure to go to the Outlands. Because of the enormous costs for flying mounts, Blizzard designed this Burning Crusade world to make you a lot more gold than you can get from Azeroth. However, at this point it may be better to simply stay in Azeroth until you hit level 60 because Blizzard recently upgraded quest money and exp rewards in Azeroth.
   
4. Once in the Outlands, make sure to begin farming elemental motes. These are used to create primals which are required for Burning Crusade crafting and people pay enormous sums for them on the auction house.
   
5. Go buy items (mostly crafting recipes) with a limited amount from a vendor and sell them for a higher price.
   
   • Rather than spending your money on new items at the AH (auction house), go run an instance, you will get new gear, complete quests, and save plenty of gold.
     
   
   
6. Get better gear. Instead of completing every quest you can while in Outlands leveling up, run instances to get better gear, a decent amount of money and save the quests for when you are at level 70 when most quests instead of giving a 2 gold reward will give as much as 12 gold per quest. This is very profitable if you have not completed quests in the higher level zones as you can make close to 1000 gold per zone.
   
7. Auctioning. Get the add-on "Auctioneer" which can automatically tell you the best price to sell anything at the auction house. Then run instances, collecting greed loot and sell them at the auction house. You will find that things like shadowgem and malachite can sell for up to 3 gold each for rich characters who need items quickly.
   

Tips

• Mounts can now be bought at level 20! Effective from Patch 3.2
  
• Sell the gray and white items you find to vendors. They are called "trash" for a reason. They are meant to be vendored, and gray/white gear over level 15 will probably not sell on the auction house. Over time this will make you a lot of gold. The addon "Autoprofit" will help a lot with this by automatically vendoring all gray items in your inventory
  
• Create an alternative character ("alt") and mail all valuable items (greens, blues, profession materials, cloth, etc.) you find to it. Use your alt to store items (called a bank) and to sell items on the auction house (also sometimes referred to as an "AH mule" or a "bank character", which are especially useful when your character is far from a major city).
  
• Invest in big bags such as Netherweave Bags. Having lots of space on your character will greatly increase the amount you can gather (and then sell) on each trip out.
  
• Make friends in the game and join a guild with helpful people in it! Just like real life, social networking will mean the difference between making one gold or 1,000.
  
• SELL LOW AND SET A BUYOUT! This cannot stressed enough; always market on the trade channel before putting it on the Auction House, and do not undercut the other auctions, as it will start a bidding war with no winner. Use a mod like Auctioneer to auto set the price to market standards.
  
• Sell stackable items on the auction house one at a time or in stacks of two or three. Often you will earn more gold by selling 20 individual items than one stack of 20 items. Selling in smaller stacks also both reduces your overall deposit substantially AND reduces your lost money in the event your item does not sell. But please, do not sell a large number (like 50) of the same item one by one. Doing this undermines the price of the item: supply has vastly increased, but demand has stayed the same, so the prices will drop to entice buyers. It is also obnoxious. Holding onto your items for a few days may mean the difference between 50 silver and 5 gold.
  
• There are other add-ons that can help you make gold in WoW. Auctioneer helps record prices of what items are selling for on the Auction House, and can help you find deals that you can buy and resell for a profit.
  
• Another add-on that is helpful for gatherers is Cartographer Routes. It plots the shortest distance between spawnpoints of ore or herbs.
  
• Deviate Fish sell for over 1 gold if you're a fisher.
  

Warnings

• Be nice, people would rather buy from a good person than some jerk.
  
• Do not try to scam other players, this will prevent people from buying from you later on, and may even get you an account suspension or ban.
  
• Respect the Trade channel and do not use channel spam to advertise your items.
  
• NEVER use "/y" to try and sell, people find it annoying, and if you annoy someone, they will not want to buy from you.
  

Things You'll Need

• A little bit of time every day.
  
• A whole lot of patience.
  
• A love for the game and desire to succeed.
  
• Auctioneer Addon (helps a lot).
  
• Be able to learn how the market on your realm works, and adapt to its changes.

Care for Xbox 360

How to Care for Your Xbox 360

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

You now have an Xbox 360, but you don't want it to be smashed, scratched or mistreated. You may worry about it being scratched, but now you can protect your pride and joy.

Steps

1. Don't get rid of the box the system came in, or the receipt for that matter. You will not have trouble with it or it won't shipped broken. This is no problem. Simply bug them until they repair it. Or you can take the clever approach and get a similar system.
   
2. Keep paddles, games, instruction booklets, and any Xbox Live membership cards in a safe place. You can put them in the same box that you received your system in as well!
   
3. Keep track of the cords. For recharging rechargeable batteries in the USB port, for power, TV hookup, Ethernet cable, any cords, and know where they are at all times.
   
4. Apply a faceplate to your Xbox 360. If it accidentally gets scratched, the skin will take the hit.
   
5. Attach a cooling device to the back of your Xbox 360. This will help the hard-drive not to get fused to the 360 while you play all night long, and will also help prevent the Red Ring of Death. Disclaimer: may be noisy.
   
6. Place your Xbox 360 directly on a high surface away from dust, or clean it regularly following directions in manual.

Tips

• Have a nice, soft piece of cloth handy to use with your Xbox 360. If your disks get dirty, you may want to give it a quick and gentle wipe.
  
• Put all of your games back in the cases after you are done playing with your Xbox for a while.
  
• Keep all the instruction booklets at all times! This will help you defeat a problem by looking in troubleshooting. If its not contained within the manual, research online, or at the company if you find that there is a serious error. It will also be helpful if you intend on selling/trading your game to a used video game store such as Gamestop or EB Games. Wal-Mart has added blue box kiosks in which you can sell your used video games, and you get a lot of money back. Try it out!
  

Warnings

• Never leave your Xbox 360 on for more than one hour without use. It is a waste of power, and could result in the overheating of your Xbox 360 if left on for more than a few hours at a time.
  
• Never leave anything on top of the 360, such as a drink or a plate of food. It can damage the 360 or may catch fire if system overheats.
  
• Do not have anything especially flammable near the cords of the Xbox at any time, unless cords are unplugged.
  
• Do not play with frayed or damaged cords.
  
• Do not move your console with a game in the system! This will damage the game inside it! If you have ever seen a perfect circular scratch on a game disk you played, you most likely moved it on accident.

Zygor leveling guides

I love this guide, I leveled up so fast with it! It is really easy to use, and it helps a lot. Step by step, it shows you exactly where to go, what to kill, and what to loot. Also, in this new one, it has a talent advisor, telling you where to spend your talent points so that you will level up as fast as possible! It is well worth the money.

Get it here.

Magnetic generator

I've always wanted to build a generator that ran off of magnets, perpetually generating electricity. I couldn't design one on my own due to lack of time, and I couldn't find a guide because it was quite a few years ago that I tried. Then I found this guide that shows you how to build one! It doesn't take up much room, the materials are easy to find nor are they expensive. Get the guide here.

Reverse Phone Directory

Reverse phone directories are very helpful, especially if your the type of person who won't answer the phone unless you know who it is (its especially aggravating when they don't leave a message). They are very easy to use, and can provide useful information, beyond who is the owner of the number. I actually use this reverse phone directory, because I've found it provides the most information, for the least amount. Get there here.

Build your own solar panels

This is actually a very easy guide to use. It has step-by-step instructions on how to build a solar panel, and set it up. Solar panels are a great way to reduce your energy bill, and they pay for themselves within a few months. They aren't hard to install, and it increases the value of your house quite a bit. Also, the more panels you build, the more money you save, and actually could sell back to the electric company! You can see it here.
