Nekkid Tech http://nekkidtech.com Fri, 16 Mar 2012 15:38:51 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 Nekkid Tech – Dead at 23 http://nekkidtech.com/nekkid-tech-dead-at-23/ http://nekkidtech.com/nekkid-tech-dead-at-23/#comments Fri, 16 Mar 2012 15:26:55 +0000 admin http://nekkidtech.com/?p=968 It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Nekkid Tech. We don’t have all of the details yet other than the young podcast was found unresponsive and without life late yesterday afternoon. The Nekkid Tech family respectfully asks for privacy during this time and would ask fans not to publicly speculate on the cause of death while we now plan for funeral services.

Thank you.
