The Geekdom is currently in mourning following the passing of Mr. Spock himself, Leonard Nimoy.
“In Spock, I finally found the best of both worlds: to be widely accepted in public approval and yet be able to continue to play the insulated alien through the Vulcan character.”
– From “Leonard Nimoy, Spock of Star Trek Dies at 83”, The New York Times
Perhaps, our collective anguish can be best summed by another Trekkie, President Obama, who said: “Long before being a nerd was cool, there was Leonard Nimoy.”
You couldn’t have put it better, Mr. President.
