 Boing Boing re: "noise making you smarter."  As stated in the brief note, many folks, myself in particular, find that I can often be more productive and energetic (with regard to work) in noisey places like coffee shops.  I typically spend half of each of my work days working at my favorite coffee shot.  A link is provided to the book Noise, where this topic, and many others, is covered.  Maybe I'll purchase a copy and read it in a noisey place
