Discoveries While Stumbling Around the Web

Every once in a while when I have all my feeds caught up and have time upon my hands, I log into StumbleUpon to see what pops up.  Such was the case last evening, so I thought I would share some of the things I found most interesting while I was Stumbling around the web.  Here are the links that you can click on and read at your leisure:

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!
