It’s fitting that just after Apple sold its billionth song via the iTunes Music Store that I write about music. By the way, that was billion with a “B”. Amazing!

Oh yes… music. I find that I program way better when I’ve got my Sennheiser HD280 Pro’s plugged into my PowerBook. (Hmm there’s that “Pro” again.) I especially like listening to the “good songs i haven’t heard in a while” smart playlist. Not sure why this is, but I think it has something to do with your mental state and getting your brain into a good rhythm. I did a quick poll of some other Mac Indie friends and many of them agreed that music does indeed make your code flow more smoothly.
