Ok, here we are, day 11 and another cover for y'all. Everyone knows Nothing Compares 2 U, Sinead O'Connor, right? Actually hers is a cover, in fact its the third version, Prince wrote it for a band he backed, The Family, and it was on their debut album, plus naturally he recorded it. But here's a different take on it from Chris Cornell.

Dirty Van Art (10 Photos) – STREET ART UTOPIA
Dirty van art might be the most unlikely street art medium of all. Nikita Golubev (aka ProBoyNick) and a handful of grime magicians turn winter salt, soot, and road dust into crowned riders, fossil skeletons, anti-war messages, exhausted warriors, and even gorillas staring out of rear windows. The best part is how temporary it all is — one rainstorm and the whole gallery disappears.
Here are 13 unforgettable dirty van art photos, including a few alternate angles that were simply too good to skip, proving that a filthy vehicle can become a masterpiece on wheels.

🌫️ “Light”
Golubev makes the truck doors feel like they have opened into a beam from another world. The dirt is not just the canvas here, it becomes the atmosphere, the glow, and the whole emotional weather of the scene.
🦍 Gorilla Window
There is something incredibly satisfying about seeing a silverback emerge from the back glass of an ordinary car. The rear window shape and wiper make this one feel extra site-specific, like the vehicle was always waiting for a gorilla to appear.💡 Fun Fact: The technique of drawing in vehicle dirt is sometimes called “reverse graffiti” or “subtractive street art,” because the artist isn’t adding paint to the truck—they are just selectively cleaning it.
☮️ I Pray for Peace
This is one of the quietest and hardest-hitting pieces in the whole dirty van art universe. The dangling flower and the toy-like tanks make the message feel heartbreakingly simple, which is exactly why it lingers.
🦴 City Skeleton
This one turns a truck into a rolling fossil bed. The long rib cage slides beautifully across the metal panel, while the misty skyline behind it makes the whole thing feel half museum exhibit, half winter ghost story.💡 Fun Fact: Because reverse graffiti is technically just “cleaning” part of a dirty car rather than adding paint or damaging property, it exists in a legal gray area. It’s incredibly hard for police to charge the artist with vandalism when all they’re doing is wiping away dust with their fingers.
👑 The Head, Close View
The tighter crop makes the severed crown and the horse’s face feel even more theatrical. It looks like a medieval legend dragged straight through slush, darkness, and city traffic.
👁️ Cyklops
This is such a simple composition, but that is exactly why it works. The lonely curled figure feels fragile, exhausted, and completely at home in the blank gray emptiness of the van doors.
⚔️ Tired
A warrior sitting beside his fallen sword is already a powerful idea, but the snowfall and dark truck surface take it somewhere poetic. It feels like the exact moment after the battle, when the noise is gone and only fatigue remains.
🚫 Stop the Dark Side
Blunt message, perfect medium. The stormtrooper gesture and the huge hand-scratched text give this piece the energy of a protest sign that just happened to hijack a truck.
💀 Snow on the Screen, Wide View
From a distance it reads like a stain or a shadow, then the skulls begin revealing themselves one by one. That slow realization is what makes this anti-war image so unsettling and so memorable.
🐴 The Head, Daylight View
Seen wider and in daylight, the whole truck becomes part of the composition. The road grime, snowbanks, and quiet street give the rider an even stronger folklore mood.
❄️ Tired, Angled View
This second angle shows exactly why placement matters so much in dirty van art. The slanted truck body makes the warrior look even more isolated, like he is guarding the last little patch of silence on the street.
🕯️ Snow on the Screen, Close Detail
Up close, the piece stops being symbolic and turns almost unbearable. The repeated skulls feel like static, graves, and faces all at once, which is exactly what makes this detail impossible to forget.
🚚 A Masterpiece on Wheels
This isn’t just someone doodling “Wash Me” with a finger. It’s a full-blown portrait rolling down the highway. The fact that one heavy rainstorm will wash the whole gallery away just makes it better.Which one is your favorite?

I suspect most people outside of the UK won't have heard about the post office scandal, but it seems highly relevant to learn about now (given *waves* this):
For over 15 years, the software post offices in the UK had to use contained severe bugs, particular in accounting, that everyone at Fujitsu/horizon and the post blissfully ignored. Over 900 (!!!) postmasters were sentenced for alleged theft and fraud, some went to jail, some committed suicide. All because the software was shit and everyone who could do something about it didn't care and swept it under the rug.
Everything, including how it was uncovered, about this seems bizarre and Kafkaesque, but we better prepare for it to happen more often.

Why did the #Epstein Estate provide hush money to Trump victim after Epstein's death? Could it be that Trump was campaigning for re-election in 2020 and was unable to pay the hush money directly, leading the estate of his deceased friend to step in to silence the claims? The FBI report show both Trump and Epstein were involved in the abuse of girls.
A Trump accuser received a payout from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein! Today, Richard Kahn, Epstein's former accountant, testified under oath before Congress that a Trump accuser 'was given a settlement' by Jeffrey Epstein’s estate. This suggests that Epstein assisted Trump in concealing his crimes.

I'm a MDM. A Medium Dog Model.
I generate maintainable code which does exactly what it's supposed to do and can explain every single line and what it does with great accuracy.
I can also use my bio-mechanical thinking machine to predict future challenges and incorporate pro-active solutions, extrapolating from historical data commonly referred to as "experience".
And I come at the price of being only slightly slower than generative AI and costing significantly less electrical energy to operate.
Also, I can actually be reasonably expected to put some effort into my work as long as you treat me appropriately, because I'm a social living thing.

For several years now, public EV charging points in Amsterdam have also been used to provide temporary power supplies for construction projects and events, for example. The city is now actively promoting this as an alternative to diesel generators on construction sites.

So, because I'm cheap, I buy clearance food at the local grocery store, sandwiches, salads, microwavable meals, the stuff you find up in the deli or prepared food area, freeze it, then defrost it when I'm ready. This stuff isn't expired, but it is sell by the day I get it.Today's second lunch/first dinner was going to be chicken tenders, corn and mashed potatoes with gravy. Took the lid off as you have to remove it to microwave it, and…
The mashed potatoes are grey. Ummm, yeah, I think we'll skip that.

I have no clue how ya'll actually FULLY clean your fountain pens, like, fully residue-free.
By now I've accepted I'll just need a seperate converter for each ink, as I don't have the feeling any non-metal part ever gets fully clean with just water.
Ah well, time to let it all rest in water over night for the occasional ink refresher. 😅😭

Where are the Thinkpad people on the fediverse? I’m becoming slightly open to the idea of having a computer that isn’t a MacBook, for the first time in, well, since Macs. Apparently the Thinkpad is the one to go for but I now discover they have a whole load of numbers and letters.
Looking at the specifications on YouTube for ‘greatest Thinkpad ever’ or ‘Thinkpad to install Linux on’ type of videos it looks to me that they’re fine for boring office stuff but I’m using Macs for art and design, and the thinkpads they all mention seem to have basic non-retina screens.
I should point out that I’ve never ever used the ‘windows’ OS, so have never used non Mac computers, but I’ve slightly used Linux as a user (not an expert) since the turn of the century but not on a serious level for art, not while I’ve got Macs sitting around.
Is there an ideal Thinkpad for Linux for art and design? That doesn’t cost too much? That’s still maintainable and repairable? #Thinkpad#Thinkpads

Day 8, can we keep this up? Well, we can definitely keep rocking, with I Need A Lover, a song I associate with Pat Benatar, don't we all? However it was written and first recorded by Johnny Mellencamp on his first album in Australia, but not released until his second album in the US.. If'n that name sounds familiar, yep, its the name John Cougar Mellencamp originally went by. I've heard his version, but I still can't see anyone else but her singing it, and it was on her debut album.
