That's where a site like WriteLaTeX would be useful; it's an online collaborative LaTeX editor that includes tutorials, templates and demos, and works with Google Drive and Dropbox. And for a more complete list of LaTeX help, check out LaTeX Templates, which is a great source for free templates for articles, books, calendars, lab reports, and other documents.

Tiny Habits

BJ Fogg, a professor at Stanford University, developed a system called Tiny Habits, built to help you change your behavior. The idea behind it is simple - you choose the behavior you want to change and anchor it to something that is already a habit. For example, "After I {close my front door}, I will {hang my keys on the hook}."

Airbnb

Airbnb is an interesting idea - it's much like the CouchSurfing site we've mentioned before. Like other infographic-obsessed companies, they've done a good job making their 2012 annual report visually interesting.

Automatic

If your car is something of an enigma to you, you're not alone. Automatic is a gadget/app combo that sends all kinds of information about your car straight to your smartphone. This includes things like interpreting what your check engine light means, helping you remember where you parked, and ways you can modify your driving to save on gas. It also will automatically call 911 when it detects a crash.
