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 🙏
I’ve been super impressed using Kagi Translate (iOS) over the last couple in Taiwan. Although the app isn’t remotely iOS native and could use its UX streamlining the quality of results is incredible.

My trick for achieving stuff in life is just telling people you’re gonna do a thing, thus daring your future self to do it. Arrange logistics for the thing to trick your future self into having to follow through on the arrangements. Make adventurous plans that your future self will feel compelled to complete.
