I learned that the artist behind the artwork for the game Elite was none other than Philip Castle, the designer of the posters for A Clockwork Orange and Full Metal Jacket, among others.

He passed away on February 20, 2026, at the age of 83 🙏

TIL there's a new EU paid search engine that wants to rival #Kagi which is great because.... there are various reasons why I'm no longer that happy about Kagi but have yet to see their feature set (even within the search product itself) be matched by any other paid/not-paid search provider.

Gonna start trying them out, I'm sure they're missing like most of the features that make Kagi what made it succesful but they gotta start somewhere and I'm hopeful!
