音時雨 ～Regentropfen～

Let's begin with some science:
The structure of human ear and brain actually defined what is harmony and how it sounds like.

Things related to nerve and reaction are always cool. This time, it's a combination between this field and my greatest fondness for music. So, when a sound arrives, your ears sense it in terms of wave and pass the signal to the brain. Multiple sounds form overlapped waves. If they are regular and organized, the brain turns on the switch of "comfortable" mode, and thus you are happy. If the waves are terribly layered, the brain tells you that you are "unpleasant" toward the waves.

--Therefore, human defined those pleasant wave overlaps as "harmony", and the unpleasant ones became "dissonance".

But we do need dissonance! There are different sound samples including beating, where close waves touch the same set of nerve, thus our brain lost its core and is about to snap. According to the research, even people who can't distinguish musical sounds dislike beating.

The thing is, I like it, beating! (Of course, that's a story about music and the resulting aura! My head is totally normal. xD)

I suddenly noticed this new feature of Chrome yesterday--As an Opera user, you won't expect I catching up all chrome updates, will you?

The user switch~~

↑You can change the icons for different users; I wonder if it will support custom icons in future.

An awesome feature for people like me who own multiple google accounts, isn't it: personal+work+domain special... however, not applicable to non google users at all.

Speaking of computer related topic, windows photo viewer died for no reason since last night! Alright, I go using picasa photo viewer. -__-

Seems it's true that MS has only one thing can use, which is Windows. I already switched to use html for writing: easier to deal with formatting. Even not perfect for annotation and reference, it's pretty enough for everday casual notes.
