Jonathan Coulton is the unofficial geek troubadour, a smart, funny, ex-code monkey turned Web 2.0-enabled singer/songwriter/podcaster/blogger. Coulton’s songs – 52 of them written in a heroic year of tunesmithing delivered by the “Thing A Week” podcast – include such subject matter as cloning, cyborgs, evil-yet-sensitive villains, devolution, Mandelbrot sets, zombies, Flickr, and Mac laptops. Coulton (or “JoCo,” as the hep cats say) will be performing live in Seattle thrice in the next month, and I highly recommend taking the opportunity to go to a concert. You can see him this Saturday at 9:00 at the Penny Arcade Expo, at Bumbershoot (thrice!) on September 1st through the 3rd, and at the awesome Triple Door on Sunday, September 23rd.
More details are available at Coulton’s blog.
