WTP 302 has a ton of great stuff in it. We start with a story on the millions of biometric records collected in Iraq during the past seven years. Then, two segments on ingenious uses for smartphones - one for an eye exam, and the other as a stethoscope. Then, we hear about the rebirth of a primative electronic organ called the Optigan. And we end with a birthday celebration for Mario. He's 25, but he doesn't look at day over 52.
