For The Geek In All of Us...

Reader Joseph sends in this bit of geeky whistleblower goodness...

Why I am leaving the Empire, by Darth Vader

TODAY is my last day at the Empire.

'I no longer have the pride, or the belief' After almost 12 years, first as a summer intern, then in the Death Star and now in London, I believe I have worked here long enough to understand the trajectory of its culture, its people and its massive, genocidal space machines. And I can honestly say that the environment now is as toxic and destructive as I have ever seen it.

It's a clever riff on the NYT Op-Ed resignation of Greg Smith from Goldman-Sachs. There's enough adherence to the original for the parody to really bite, plus plenty of Star Wars references to sweeten the pot.

Well worth a read, especially if you're a sci-fi geek who grew up on the franchise.

That is all.
