We lost a great mind today, Stephen Hawking might be gone but his work and inspiration will live on for ever.

RIP Stephen

RIP Sir.

A sad day.

Weirdly, it was also Einstein's birthday. And of course pi day (3.14)

Sad, indeed. In a way it's perversely fitting to have fallen on Pi Day, which is my second all time favorite nerd holiday (Star Wars Day being number one).

This is another good article:

It's been a sad couple of weeks in the UK as it wasonly just over a week ago we also lost Trevor Baylis who I aways found quietly inspirational and has seemed like so much he was involved in to have slipped under the radar:

Trevor Baylis, I recognise him. Inventor of the wind up radio amongst other things. Some sad things in there, especially the big business bullying.

RIP.
