Why should nerds listen to classical music ?
May 16th, 2009
Thanks for the guy who searched for “Why should I like classical music” on Live search and reached here (found him on gostats last guests) , because on the search results I found a good article name “Why should nerds listen to classical music”. The author of this article gives 7 reasons for nerds to listen to classical music, one of the most interesting is “intellectual stimulation”. There’s even a link between classical music and computer science, this is illustrated in MIT’s open course ware on Godel, Escher, Bach. These video lectures are highly recommended for anyone interested in learning new intellectual concepts and structures.
By the way, there’s also a link between computer science and painting (this is the Escher part of Hofstadter’s book), this is probably why Paul Graham is also a painter :) and has written a good article about hacking and painting.

Not very up-to-date, but the advices are still valid. I found this document while reading simple entrepneur blog, a french blog that tells the story of the creation of a webservice called loomiz, but it is mainly about advices on the creation of a web startup.
O, did I say I was fan of mind maps ?
