I just got my Verizon Galaxy S3, and ordered the 20-pack of NFC tags offered by http://tagsfordroid.com
I think I know what my Dad felt like when he got his first label printer... Within days it seemed like every object in his office was labeled...
I've got a tag in my car to automatically send my wife a "Headed home" SMS, a tag on my night stand to toggle between 'night' (silent) and 'day' (loud) volume settings, a tag by my back door to launch CardioTrainer when I go out for a run (this one may have crossed the "I've run out of ideas" line...). I'm using the keychain tag to dial a response number for the fire department I'm a member of.
I did the same thing. Tag next to the entry-way light switch for changing to an "at-home" profile, tag next to the bed for switching between night mode and morning mode, tag at work, keychain tag for switching between car mode and quiet mode.
And profile switching is just the basics. You can have a tag that connects guests' NFC-enabled phones to your wifi without having to hand out the password, for instance.
NFC task launcher + tasker is an amazing combination that opens up all kinds of possibilities.
