Took this picture of Ophelia a few years ago. She reminded me of something but it took me months to finally figure it out. She's giving me Blue Steel, and totally pulling it off.

I cannot speak for every manufacturer, but there are indeed mechanisms in place that allow to remotely disable ignition. Contrarily to the common misconception, it is not possible to stop the car (for obvious reasons). Not that the technology isn't there to do that, I would assume. In my experience however, here in the US, there are three absolute imperatives that must be met before a vehicle is disabled: first and foremost, the owner must file a stolen vehicle report with the police. He must then communicate the report information to the manufacturer, and finally, a federal officer must request that the vehicle be immobilized - which very rarely happens in fact. In most cases, the police only want the car to be tracked - something which also can only be done when requested by a police officer, incidentally. At least in my experience. Likewise, information concerning the vehicle's whereabouts can only be provided to a federal officer. Each request needs to be thoroughly documented, with the name of everyone involved, from the precinct dispatcher's to the name and badge number of every officer working the case. So yes, the technology is there, but, at this time at least, there are vast quantities of legal ramifications.

Very nice!

I'm keeping my eyes on this one too. I've had the opportunity to work with it way back in the days, and I've been keeping the essential version up to date for several years but I'm thinking of upgrading to Pro, as I do like to have a back up DAW, and it's either Cubase, Pro Tools, or Studio One. And TBH, it really is between Cubase and Studio One. My Pro Tools license has lapsed and I don't really care to renew it.

Glad to hear it's not just me. I never thought of giving up, but it seems to just happen - maybe in part because the music I write rarely features any guitar, and I don't really write on that instrument either. But I like playing, and it keeps my hands and fingers in shape. And I really like to work on improving the little things that I didn't pay as much attention to as I should have when I was younger, like my vibrato and such. Almost as if playing guitar and making music were two very distinct activities. But I enjoy both very much.

Felt I'd kind of painted us into a corner there, so, here: Elvis Presley - Fools Rush In (Where Angels Fear to Tread) Should give us a few more options.

On so many levels.

I am a little embarrassed to say that I can spend months without touching the guitar. But since I'm a creature of habits, it's usually fairly easy for me to make time for it. My shift ends at 4 am. I cook and eat a meal, take a power nap, head down to the home gym/dojo and workout for 40 minutes or so, then do chores and/or yard work for a bit. Then I pick up a book and read for an hour before heading back upstairs for an hour of Japanese lessons. And then, it's time to close shop, so I grab a guitar and head for the bedroom where I sit in bed in front of an anime or a Japanese movie and practice for 60-90 minutes. Before I know it, it's 10:30 and bed time. That's for practicing, and on week days - on weekends, anything goes. And of course, I also like to grab a guitar and just play at random times. Not quite as brilliantly as Kenny, though.

Did anybody say bathroom?
