David Lawrence: Did you see what*s going on over at Popular Mechanics? I am going to share this with you. Popular Mechanics has a, in their September issue it*s called Our Bodies, Ourselves, Our Cybernetic Arms or Cyborg arms or something. It*s a take off on the book Our Bodies Ourselves, which is a book that is often read by young women to get to know their bodies and the changes they will go through during at lessons. Popular Science is looking at those things that are, that when you look at how we are been augmented by technology, biologically. You know artificial lenses, artificial limbs, our teeth; you know dental technology, implants in the brain, implants near our different nodes the hypothalamus and so on things that change us. Or pacemakers great example, one of the very first examples of artificial assistance fake legs, fake arms that actually do things. Skin, artificial skin when you look at all the things that are going on in the medical community, the biology community when it comes to augmenting humans the people of Popular Science actually turn to one of my favorite independent musical artist and named him not Contributing Editor, not reporter, not you know publisher but *Contributing Troubadour*. And if you go over to Popular Science and their website is www.popsci.com. There are a whole bunch of very cool songs that he did for them that you can download in mp3 format. Songs like Better, you know are we better because we have these devices and augments available to us. Todd, which is a story of a guy who starts to get into a bit of competition with his new robot he buys this robot to help him out about the house but the robot tends to be a little lazy to saying it out making Todd do all the work very funny song. And I first got to know Jonathan Coulton because he was on the weeknight show talking about Podcasting and talking about how he uses his Macintosh to set things up on his server, his blog and all those things. And he is very, very funny. I mean just a very funny guy. He has a song called Millionaire Girlfriend, which if you listen to the lyrics, if you just listen to the words is hilarious and you can find out more at www.jonathancoulton.com. Let me play you a bit of *Millionaire Girlfriend*. This is Jonathan Coulton at www.jonathancoulton.com. This is called Millionaire Girlfriend, love this song.
