Monday's Music and Men

I managed to get caught up on my sleep over the weekend as well as getting the dreaded laundry chore done.  I caught up on some of my feeds too but I am still behind the curve on my reading list.  I will catch everything up eventually, but probably not this week as I am still scheduled to work every day with no end in sight yet.  Ah well, I just think of the extra money that will show up in the pay check and hope I don't wear out before I get to spend it, lol.  At any rate, I still have the time to come up with great photos and great music for your daily appreciation.   For today's play list I have Three Piano Quartets, Number 1 in A Minor, Opus 43; Number 2 in E Major, Opus 44; and Number 3 in G Major, Opus 50 written in 1867 and 1868 by German Composer Friedrich Kiel. This performance is by Ulrike-Anima Mathe, Hariolf Schlichtig, Xenia Jankovic and Oliver Triendl.  Following the play list is a goodly number of muscly men scantily clad in their Monday's Undies to inspire your desire as you admire them while scrolling down the page.  Thanks for the visit, see you again tomorrow. Until next time as always, Enjoy!

Monday Meanderings

I had a long weekend at work as I worked 13 hours on Saturday then had to go in early last night and stay late this morning.  Therefore I did not get much prep work done beforehand, so I am running a little behind this morning in getting this posted.  However I still have some things that I think will interest you guys today.  In my email, I get weekly suggestions from StumbleUpon and this week one of the recommendations was this tripy little flash game you can play online to occupy some time when there is not much going on.  It is colorful and fun to bat the balls around to see what the little star trails do.   Then in my Google Reader I subscribe to Bill Mullins' Tech Thoughts blog and one of the reviews he did this week was for the International Computer Science Institute's Netalyzer program that gives you a run down on your Internet connection and system performance.  ICSI is associated with UC Berkeley and is one of the leading independent computer research institutes in the US.  You can read all about Netalyzer and their home net profiler program here then decide for yourself if you would like to try the programs out.  

Then to entertain you today, I have put together a play list  containing Piano Quartets Numbers 1 in A Minor, Opus 43; 2 in E Major, Opus 44, and 3 in G Major, Opus 50 by Friedrich Kiel performed by Ulrike-Anima Mathe, Hariolf Schlichtig, Xenia Jankovic and Oliver Triendl.  The play list is followed in due course by this week's edition of those marvelous men in their Monday's Undies for your visual appreciation and to help get your week off on the right foot.  Thanks for the visit, see you again tomorrow.  Until next time as always, Enjoy!
