Good stuff on NPR's Morning Edition this morning:
Donald Knuth, Founding Artist of Computer Science: "Donald Knuth is legendary in the computer science world for writing a series of must-have reference books called The Art of Computer Programming. Part cookbook, part textbook, part encyclopedia, these books are also considered by many to be technical and personal works of art."
The iPod of the Brain: "Researchers at Dartmouth College find the 'iPod of the brain.' They've learned that the brain's auditory cortex, the part that handles information from our ears, holds on to musical memories. So even when that perky pop song isn't on the radio, you still hear it in your head."
