Leonard Nimoy Has Died [EvolutionBlog]

by jrosenhouse

Sad news:

Leonard Nimoy, the sonorous, gaunt-faced actor who won a worshipful global following as Mr. Spock, the resolutely logical human-alien first officer of the Starship Enterprise in the television and movie juggernaut “Star Trek,” died on Friday morning at his home in the Bel Air section of Los Angeles. He was 83.

His wife, Susan Bay Nimoy, confirmed his death, saying the cause was end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Leonard Nimoy has the distinction of having starred in two of the greatest television series ever. Let us recall that he went straight from Star Trek to Mission: Impossible, where he basically saved the show after the seemingly irreplaceable Martin Landau left.

Come to think of it, he was also the special guest bad guy in another of the greatest television series ever: Columbo. Here’s the whole episode. Skip ahead to the one hour mark and watch for three minutes to see one of my all-time favorite scenes.



He will be missed.

Mumbai First Crowd Sourced Library

by Sameer Lele
It gives me a great pleasure to inform you about Mumbai's 1st Crowd-Sourced Book Library set by your truly. (Um, that's me if you are still wondering).

One of the main objectives of creating this library is to 'save real book reading experience', — kindle and other e-book formats are killing our age old book-reading experience and I genuinely feel that we need a place where some old-fashioned people like me and you can sit and read a real book.

Following are the details of our India's 1st Crowd-Sourced Book Library which is currently only for Mumbai readers. Soon coming up for Pune, Kolkata, Bangalore, Delhi and other cities.


Book Library Membership

Ø 12 month- 1900-- No Deposit

All membership: Up to 52 books / yearly (As per the availability)

Ø First come, first served

For more: fillyy@gmail.com / Text: 98191-81219



NOTE: Most books will be delivered on weekends. If you have any special request then we can adjust. Please do not panic if by any chance I am unable to revert timely please rest assured. See you soon! J

Best bit is even broke, jobless and lonely folks will be getting special discounts and sometimes complimentary books exclusively on referrals.

I have got a really good response from social network, media and many have shown interest in donating their books.

Book delivery will be done by me and other team of members.

I can be reached post 6 pm on week days on 98191-81219 & 24/7 on weekends - please text if I am unable to answer the call.

Please spread the word if you can. :)

Note: Updating new book list soon. Sunday is the day where I can collect and deliver books. Post Hindustan Times News Article & Radio Interview, we have got commitment 1700 books (and still counting) from book enthusiasts who are contributing towards library to get more diverse set of books.
