In my case, there are a lot of people who develop excellent software in the person who likes music or who plays music.
I heard Alan Kay who is a great software developer whom I respect is a Jazz player.
Actually, I seem the development of software looks like music.

• It is not a physical object.
• It follow the sort of mathematical theory.
• It can be described in a some kind of document.
• It changes as the seconds tick away.
• It is important about user experience.
• It needs some tension occasionally.
• It exists depending on creator's sense.
• It requires a some kind of skill and training.
• etc...

I'm not only a "Sunday Xcode programmer" but also a musician.
I love not only the iMacG5 but also music !
I had stopped the amateur rock band live performance since university student. However, I restarted the amateur rock band after an interval of ?? years in the wake of alumni association.

I make a belated attempt to add a photo album of the "Debut live on 17th Sep. 2006" of my amateur rock band to my band website, because it was so busy with development and announcement of my RapidWeaver plugins. Of course, it's made by my new PostcardViewer plugin !

P.S.
BTW, my band website includes the discussion board which made by alpha version of the RapidWeaverBBS. Unfortunately, this discussion board only allows Japanese language because we had a lot of spam from foreign countries. (This function is depending on a parameter of the RapidWeaverBBS.)
