Live long and prosper

Actor Leonard Nimoy, who won a worldwide fan base as the pointy-eared half-human, half-Vulcan Mr Spock in the Star Trek television and film franchise, has died at age 83.

Nimoy, who suffered from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, died at his home in Los Angeles.

His wife, Susan Bay Nimoy, confirmed the death to the New York Times. A private memorial service was being planned.

An outpouring of grief on social media has paid tribute to the man considered by many to be a geek idol.

Nimoy’s Star Trek co-star William Shatner, who played hot-headed Captain James T Kirk, said he would miss the man he loved “like a brother”.

“We will all miss his humour, his talent, and his capacity to love,” Shatner said on Twitter.

He died the same day as a friend of mine. Perhaps he needed to hitch a lift with her on the USS Enterprise, which she will be leaving on shortly. She had it made a few years ago as her casket when she was diagnosed with lymphoma, and told us that it will be taking her on her next journey.

I’m just a little sad that we didn’t get to laugh about this coincidence together :(

RIP Nimoy and AM.

The following made me smile in a bitter-sweet way. Leonard Nimoy’s two autobiographies are named:

I Am Not Spock (1975) and I Am Spock (1995).

Some videos of some of Leonard Nimoy’s more serious work:
The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins
Highly Illogical
A Visit To a Sad Planet
Ruby, Don’t Take Your Love to Town
I Walk the Line
Cotton Candy
If I Had a Hammer

These are some of my favourites, but there are others.

It’s a constant battle, their territory needs to be protected and we dont want to see co2 levels below 400ppm ever again to ensure their food security.
