Rick Buckler, drummer for The Jam died on Tuesday at the age of 69 (not nice). Definitely the anchor of anchor of the band and you can hear in this selection how he keeps the chaos in check. (0 votes, average: 0.00 out of 10)You must be a WGOM Citizen to rate WGOM Videos.Loading...
In the DarkR.I.P. Sverre Aarseth (1934-2024)
Picture Credit: Institute of Astronomy, CambridgeI am very late passing this sad news on, but I only just heard of the death (on 28th December 2024, at the age of 90) of Sverre Aarseth, who spent almost all of his research career at the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge. Sverre was a pioneer in the use of N-body numerical techniques for solving gravitational problems and whose work had enormous impact across many aspects of astrophysics and cosmology, not least because he made his codes available as “open source”. I suspect many of us have used an “Aarseth code” at some point in our careers! I only met him a few times, but he struck me as a friendly and self-effacing man. He was certainly never someone who tried to hog the limelight but he was held in a very high regard across the research community.
You can find fuller tributes here and here.
Rest in peace, Sverre Aarseth (20 July 1934 – 28 December 2024)

R.I.P Karl Wallinger. Formally of the Waterboys but really came into his own in late 80s/early 90s with his band World Party. This song has specific resonance with me because I had broken up with a girl and we were driving in the same car after the breakup happened and this song came on the … Continue reading World Party – Ship of Fools →
