Jam GPS Signal
Would potentially interfere with many devices, including cell phones with GPS receivers. Would likely be illegal except for goverenment.
Any signal can be jammed, and the smaller the area the more practical the jamming. Build a device to transmit on the following frequencies.
Frequency information
For the ranging codes and navigation message to travel from the satellite to the receiver, they must be modulated onto a carrier frequency. In the case of the original GPS design, two frequencies are utilized; one at 1575.42 MHz (10.23 MHz × 154) called L1; and a second at 1227.60 MHz (10.23 MHz × 120), called L2.
The C/A code is transmitted on the L1 frequency as a 1.023 MHz signal using a Bi-Phase Shift Key (BPSK) modulation technique. The P(Y)-code is transmitted on both the L1 and L2 frequencies as a 10.23 MHz signal using the same BPSK modulation, however the P(Y)-code carrier is in quadrature with the C/A carrier; meaning it is 90° out of phase.

Lawn Care Equipment Maintenance Software
http://www.mowermeter.com/Product.html
MowerMeter is the first and only equipment maintenance and repair tracking software.
We found that we spend a lot of money on equipment and wanted to maintain them properly to get our money's worth. We had many of the same models so trying to remember what was done on each piece of equipment was close to impossible. For example, we knew we had replaced the belts on one mower, but which one? Rather than using excel sheets or hand logs we developed MowerMeter!
MowerMeter:
» Comes preloaded with the most common landscaping equipment and allows users to add their own also
» Tracks equipment serial numbers & model numbers
» Tracks equipment purchase dates & warranty information
» Tracks & Schedules services for each piece of equipment
» Shows preset and customized reports
» Handles regular equipment maintenance with ease, as well as unexpected or one time repairs
» Assigns equipment to a crew and tracks damages
» Checks equipment in and out so you know who has it
» Allows you to hold crews accountable for their own equipment
Equipment is the second highest expense in your company. MowerMeter helps you make smart decisions by telling you how much you have spent on repairs and maintenance (parts and labor) and allows you to make smart business decisions on whether it is time to purchase a replacement or continue to repair it.
NEW!!! MowerMeter features the latest technology by incorporating bar codes for CE, Pocket PC and Windows Mobile devices. These allow your mechanic/s to see all the work that needs to be done then record the work when it is done. This data is synced back to the computer and updates all the records.

Cisco bought Tidal for $105M.
http://www.tidalsoftware.com/products/Overview.aspx
Horizon, a solution that delivers next-generation application performance management. Horizon automates best practices for detecting, identifying and analyzing availability and performance problems within enterprise resource planning (ERP) applications such as SAP.
ASAP (Application Scheduling and Performance), an advanced management application built on Tidal's enterprise scheduling and application performance products. Tidal ASAP ensures that business priorities are dynamically reflected within IT operations to ensure optimal alignment with the business.
Transaction Analyzer, which uniquely captures 100% of all transaction activity in SAP for a wide range of corporate uses. It radically simplifies tracking, reporting, and analysis for audit compliance, performance management and business activity metrics, providing self-serve capabilities that empower departments with a range of operational metrics.
"Cisco says it will pay $105M for data center software firm Tidal Software. San Jose-based Tidal sells management software that automates business processes - routine tasks that often span multiple servers and operate independently. Traditionally, IT managers have had to manually schedule jobs that these servers undertake, which costs time and money."

IRA Custodian
US tax law allows self-directed investments with IRA funds if the investment is held in trust. IRA custodians administer investments by holding title for the account owner.
http://www.marketwatch.com/News/Story/Story.aspx?guid=56f5e7dc3fe54f5cb9a13dd496b3b4d1&siteid=nwtreal&sguid=U8_75wYm70G4OeX6plpOXA
IRA Services charges $60 a year for the account, a $60 annual fee for each property held and $10 for cutting checks for expenses and IRA transfers. "Most companies that provide this service charge a percentage of the portfolio value, usually in addition to a base fee," IRA Services Trust Officer Michael McNair says.
At the other end of the cost spectrum is long-established Pensco, whose fees run from several hundred dollars to a maximum $2,500 for the largest accounts. Its Web site allows online access to account records and has a wealth of educational information.
