Shawn, since you are already gearing up, you should get hold of a few of these babies http://www.artlebedev.com/portfolio/optimus/
Yep... Can use it for other things besides just tracking. Could set it so the front door unlocks when you get within 10' of it or something. Can also use it to secure areas within the house (server room and office for example). the same way (automatically unlocks for authorized people). Could also use it to do something like automatically unlock a safe when you are within 5' of it. {shrug} I'm sure I'll think of some other uses too. The cats wouldn't even know... it's the same implant they use to ID pets these days (your vet will implant it near their shoulder). For people that did not want to be assimilated into the ShawnBorg, yeah... you could just carry a card (if you wanted to use the system).
I would love a house like the one from Bill Gates except situated on a tropical island, near the coast instead of at a lake. http://www.goehner.com/gates.htm http://www.usnews.com/usnews/tech/billgate/gates.htm
in my dream house? i would have a recreational place with pool, billiard table,etc. game room also, a nice landscaped terrace/lawn. i just want a spacious house. a really nice kitchen, with high quality ovens, fridge, lavatory, etc. a home theater! oh.. i can't stop dreaming.
