Hey Everyone, welcome to another episode of Tech on the Fly. Our intro song for this episode became part of the Public Domain in Canada recently: "How do you like your eggs in the Morning?" by Dean Martin and Helen O'Conner. Canadian Copyright law states that any recording made loses it's copyright status 50 years after the original broadcast or release of the recording. Since this song was recorded pre 1956, the song is public domain in Canada.

I heard this song originally on KatsCast, a podcast featured on Podshow featuring the life of Katja.
