Like many of you in geekdom, I felt a slight bit of sadness upon hearing the recent news of Leonard Nimoy’s passing. While a lot of his friends, peers, and fans who have met him over the years have laid their own tributes as of this writing, I thought I should talk about how he influenced me.

You will have bad times, but they will always wake you up to the stuff you weren’t paying attention to. ~ Robin Williams
I’m going off book today. I try to keep my real life and NerdLush separate but I think today it’s okay…
