Recently we discovered a little glitch with the Key Fob, formally known as the Proximity Key...
We're not 100% sure, but we think that all new cars are keyless, but that's not the point of this post, just a random thought...
Let's just say because we don't know Most of the new Cars come with a Proximity key to start and unlock your car...
We were playing a game called, lock the keys in the car, this is where you would put the keys to the car in the car and lock the door to see what would happen...
Well, with a key your keys are now locked in the car and you can't get in, but the proximity key won't allow you to lock the fob in the car, which is good...
However, what we discovered by playing this game is that you can drive your car without the fob in the car...
Once you start the car by pressing the start button in the car and getting out someone else can get in your car and drive it away...
They can drive and drive and drive, until they turn it off that is, that's when they'll need the fob...
Considering though, most people that steal cars are only going from A-B, so they don't need to turn off your car until they reach their destination...
A lot of times they're just looking for a joy ride, a get away car, or they're stealing it and taking it to a chop shop, either way...A-B...
We challenged this is many cars and they all have this problem, so it won't matter what you drive...
So the next time you think you can leave your car running when you go into a convenient store and think your car is safe because you have your fob in your pocket, think again...
Technology only thinks about the convenience their products will bring, because convenience yields them a payday, security is the last thought on their mind, because that takes away from their payday...
What scares us is that with autonomous vehicles and people still being so trusting they won't keep technology companies accountable to preservation of life...
Think about this, they're making Diesels autonomous now imagine yourself on the highway in your little car stuck in traffic and an autonomous Diesel traveling at 60 miles an hour without a driver behind the wheel and you have no where to go, will you trust this new technology to stop that truck just because they say it will...
Blind Faith is for religion not technology, keep their feet to the coals and demand accountability...

Vz Rantz...
We understand what you're saying, and we agree with you to a degree...
There is notoriety in nostalgia, however, eventually your colors will fade leaving your numbers hard to see...
In order to be noticed you'll need to continue moving forward, but never forgetting where you came from...
The trick to maintaining while forging is by staying true to your roots this way they'll recognize you still, once you've made your change...
In other words, find a way to improve upon nostalgia while maintaining nostalgia, stay retroactive that way you'll never be forgotten...and that's a fact! -V-

5hVnz Song of the Month...
Neil Peart, the virtuoso drummer and lyricist for Rush, died Tuesday, January 7th, in Santa Monica, California, at age 67, according to Elliot Mintz, a family spokesperson. The cause was brain cancer, which Peart had been quietly battling for three-and-a-half years. A representative for the band confirmed the news to Rolling Stone...

The Man Himself...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWRMOJQDiLU
Neil Ellwood Peart, OC is a Canadian author and retired musician, best known as the drummer and primary lyricist for the rock band Rush. Peart has received numerous awards for his musical performances, including an induction into the Modern Drummer Hall of Fame in 1983, making him the youngest person ever so honoured. His drumming has been known for its technical proficiency, and his live performances for their exacting nature and stamina.
Peart was born in Hamilton, Ontario, and grew up in Port Dalhousie (now part of St. Catharines). During adolescence, he floated between regional bands in pursuit of a career as a full-time drummer. After a discouraging stint in England to concentrate on his music, Peart returned home, where he joined Rush, a Toronto band, in mid-1974, six years after its formation. They released nineteen studio albums, with ten exceeding a million copies sold in the United States. Billboard ranks the band third for the "most consecutive gold or platinum albums by a rock band". Early in his career, Peart's performance style was deeply rooted in hard rock. He drew most of his inspiration from drummers such as Keith Moon, Ginger Baker, and John Bonham, players who were at the forefront of the British hard rock scene. As time passed, he began to emulate jazz and big band musicians Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich. In 1994, Peart became a friend and pupil of jazz instructor Freddie Gruber. It was during this time that Peart decided to revamp his playing style by incorporating jazz and swing components.
In addition to serving as Rush's primary lyricist, Peart published several memoirs about his travels. His lyrics for Rush addressed universal themes and diverse subjects including science fiction, fantasy, and philosophy, as well as secular, humanitarian, and libertarian themes. Peart wrote a total of seven nonfiction books focused on his travels and personal stories.

Keith Moon - Drum Solo 1974...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5Up-qHTJdY
Keith John Moon was an English drummer for the rock band the Who. He was noted for his unique style and his eccentric, often self-destructive behavior. Moon grew up in Alperton, a suburb of Wembley, in Middlesex, and took up the drums during the early 1960s. After playing with a local band, the Beachcombers, he joined the Who in 1964 before they recorded their first single. He remained with the band during their rise to fame, and was quickly recognized for his drumming style, which emphasized tom-toms, cymbal crashes, and drum fills. Throughout Moon's tenure with the Who his drum kit steadily grew in size, and he has been credited as one of the earliest rock drummers to regularly employ double bass drums in his setup. Moon occasionally collaborated with other musicians and later appeared in films, but considered playing in the Who his primary occupation, and remained a member of the band until his death. In addition to his talent as a drummer, however, Moon developed a reputation for smashing his kit on stage and destroying hotel rooms on tour. He was fascinated by blowing up toilets with cherry bombs or dynamite, and by destroying television sets. Moon enjoyed touring and socializing, and became bored and restless when the Who were inactive. His 21st birthday party in Flint, Michigan, has been cited as a notorious example of decadent behavior by rock groups.

BUDDY RICH INSANE DRUM SOLO IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nhfdbon4728
Child prodigy
Rich was born in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, New York, to Jewish-American parents Bess Skolnik and Robert Rich, both vaudevillians. As a kid, when he was at a restaurant with his parents, he used the knife and fork as drum sticks. Before he turned two, he was part of his parents' act on vaudeville, but on breaks he would sneak into the orchestra pit and try to get the drummer's sticks. He was on Broadway as Baby Traps the Drum Wonder at age four, playing "Stars and Stripes Forever" on a drum. He was a singer and tap dancer. In his teens he led a band and toured in the U.S. and Australia. At fifteen he became the second highest paid child entertainer behind Jackie Coogan during the 1930s.
Jazz career
His jazz career began in 1937 with clarinetist Joe Marsala. He became a member of big bands led by Bunny Berigan and Artie Shaw. When he was home from touring with Shaw, he gave drum lessons to a 14-year-old Mel Brooks for six months. At 21, he participated in his first major recording with the Vic Schoen Orchestra who backed the Andrews Sisters.
In 1942, Rich left the Dorsey band to join the United States Marine Corps, in which he served as a judo instructor, never saw combat, and was discharged due to medical reasons. After leaving the Marines, he returned to the Dorsey band. In 1946, with financial support from Frank Sinatra, he formed a band and continued to lead bands intermittently until the early 1950s.

5hVnz Best Earbuds Pick...
What an adventure it was picking out which earbuds are the best out there...
This was not an easy venture, but after a year of research what we found out is the problems with most of the ear buds were the same across the board...
Being Comfortable, Mic Problems, Ambient Sound Problems, Noise Cancellation Problems, pairing and Game Lag...
The most talked about Earbuds is the Sony - WF-1000XM3 and you should stop talking about them, they are uncomfortable, noise cancellation problems, mic problems, and Game Lag...
The nice feature about the Sony's is the app which is fully featured, not only that, the app allows updates to be done to your earbuds wirelessly...
The Sony's music sound quality is fantastic, so they were sent back to Sony to fix the Mic, but the replacement buds still had problems so these were returned...
Without taking everyone down the rabbit hole with all the earbuds that are out there and the problems, we've trimmed it down to three to choose from...
Most Important feature to look for in earbuds is Bluetooth 5.0, a must need...
The following choices are both iOS and Android compatible...
1st: Libratone TRACK Air + you'll love these, but they are a little on the pricey side...
https://www.libratone.com/us/products/headphones/track-airplus/
2nd: MIFO 05 True Wireless you'll love these as well, and priced more affordably, but they do have an 07 model that's more expensive...
https://mifo.co.uk/products/mifo-o5-plus-true-wireless-earbuds
3rd: SOUNDPEATS Truengine SE you'll love these as well, and priced the most affordable, in fact you get a lot for what you pay for with these little beauties...
https://www.soundpeatsaudio.com/en/true-wireless-earbuds-truenginese.html
All three of these passed all the tests, the only problem with these three earbuds is the same problem all the earbuds are having and that is the Mic...
sidenote: These Mics sound the best out of what we've tested, but still in need of improvement...
Not sure what the big deal is with sounding as good as you hear your music, but they are having big problems with the Mic...
These three will also pair individually and are very easy to pair...
We wanted to get this list out a little earlier than we did, but we were waiting on the Libratone's...
Spend your money wisely and make sure you read the posts on the earbuds you're about to buy because it will help you in your decision...
Happy Holidays...

The 5G Movement...
If you're thinking about buying a phone anytime soon, you might want to hold off unless you are thinking about buying the LG V50 or the Galaxy S10...
iPhone does not have a 5G capable phone yet, partly because they are in a Feud with Qualcomm and Huawei is Feuding with the US Govt...
Another thing to think about is, not all areas cover 5G, so make sure you're city is 5G capable before purchasing your phone...
As with New Technology there are always bugs so think hard before just running out and thinking you're ahead of the Joneses in Technology by buying the 5G phone...
"Most people are going to be disappointed with 5G speeds, which have been hyped as a gigabit and more. Most 5G connections will be at 100-400Mbps, especially indoors. The average 5G connection in Korea is at less than 200Mbps. For now, many are undecided and often holding on to older phones. The iPhone 5G is 2020 and the 2019 sales may be disappointing."
Intel is opting out of getting into the 5G mobile market, stating that the ROI would be a loss for them..
Intel is like the Atlanta Falcons, all sorts of talent, but don't know how to use it effectively, very disappointing...
For users seeing 5Ge on their phone don't get excited, it's nothing to do with 5G, it's just 4G LTE, in fact, other carriers like Verizon and T-Mobile already have it too, have for years and simply call it LTE Advanced...
Found a good Article that we think you should read up on to give you an insight of the Future of 5G...
Korea now has all major carriers promoting 5G, and all major brands have a flagship 5G device...
