Geek of the Week: Jonathan Coulton

Here we honor Muggle geeks who embody Ravenclaw spirit... 
when they succeed, they soar, and when they fail, they fail spectacularly!

Jonathan Coulton (b. 1970)

Yale graduate and former computer programmer Jonathan Coulton has been getting music to early podcast adopters since 2005 with his A Thing A Week project.  The man writes songs, and geeky songs at that: songs about robots and pizza, laptops and the Mandelbrot Set.  There is a graphic novel in the works based on characters from several JoCo songs (including his most popular, "Code Monkey").

Fun fact: Jonathan recorded a French version of his song "Re: Your Brains", titled (what else) "Re: Vos Cerveaux"; you can listen here, if you find it under its album, The Aftermath!
