Coding with Music !!



This is an interesting article which informs about research at cornell. How does listening to music impact your work?. Im quite sure most of you might have pondered over this thought.

"Many of the everyday tasks performed by professional workers are done in the serial processing center of the left brain. Music will not interfere particularly with this work, since it's the brain's holistic right side that digests music. But not all of the work is centered in the left brain. ... The creative leap involves right-brain function. If the right brain is busy listening to 1001 Strings on Muzak, the opportunity for a creative leap is lost."

Today, I came across an interesting initiative that could be a handy tool during calamities.
This is google person finder. It can be used to locate and report missing people. This was first launched for Haiti but is currently extended and is being used for uttarkhand floods. Adding this human touch to IT makes it really admirable.
