Just saw that Starmer is on a quest to save the NHS using AI. What are your thoughts on this, esp. #UK people.

Genuinely curious to hear from you. Thanks!

Created this one tonight. If you're into #jazz and have not heard this record, I do recommend it highly.

Back on my bulls*t with the album covers, these are the two most recent re-creations. Quite different genres, but love them both.

More album covers! LinkedIn would say "I'm on a roll".

I had the version with the blue face. Released 1981…

I grew up with bands like Duran Duran, but frankly, they have not been on my radar the last few decades. So, to rectify that, I went through their albums in chronological order, as one does.

TL;DR - they have had their ups and downs for sure so imagine my surprise when finding their 16th (from about a year ago) to be SUPER COMPELLING again. So many nice cover versions, even a few remakes of their own older material. So much fun!

Much recommended, esp. if you ever was into them back in the beginning.

Good morning!

A shot from yesterday's sunset when I was hoping to catch the fighter jets, but they stayed well to my south and west. I DID hear them though…

Completed another album cover this evening, a true classic IMHO.

Dang, I'm out. Foiled by my own playlist, no less. Rookie mistake…

A nice December morning.

Amazed that I could get a shot like this simply by pointing my phone camera out the window, while my DSLR gently weeps…

Waking up and turning on the news. (Bad call, I know…)

36 billion SEK "Carbon Capture and Storage" project is abandoned, due to "major insecurity on a immature market, where the economic conditions to complete the project are missing".

Syrian war flares up again. According to the fighters, Aleppo has been liberated and God is on their side…

And... Online gambling increases among high-school kids. Yay for the Free Market!

Good morning all!

Another hope…

Another dream…

Another truth…

Installed by the machine.

Current mood, as expressed by Michelle Dubois of the Résistance.

Recreation of another piece by Roy Lichtenstein, using Affinity Designer.

Speech bubble altered from the original, with a wink to the wonderful BBC series “’Allo 'Allo”.

Just back from a concert with Bilcher Hemmer Gadd. While both Bilcher and Hemmer were great, Steve Gadd is why I bought the ticket.

So thankful to have experienced his drumming live, from about six meters distance. He is 79 years old and still playing perfectly. What an absolute legend!

Gentle reminder that tonight is All Saints Eve, and tomorrow is All Saints Day. Now is a good time to find and iron your favorite All Saints concert t-shirt and maybe update your All Saints playlist if needed.

Enjoy the festivities!
