May the 4th be with you.  While most of the geeky blogosphere is celebrating the unofficial Star Wars day (we are too, you must’ve read Eileen’s entry earlier), I want to extend our condolences to the Yauch family and the Beastie Boys.  After a long battle with cancer, Adam Yauch passed away at the age of 47.  Adam and the rest of the Beastie Boys gave us some of the best hip hop songs for the better part of 3 decades.  Plus he was a staunch supporter for the sovereignty of Tibet, wanting freedom for them and working tirelessly towards that goal.

Adam, you will be missed.  We of Team Mixed Nuts honor your efforts and accomplishments.  Now, let us all have a moment of silence.

…..

Time to fight for your right to party, readers.
