McGone and I often joke about how Steve Jobs of Apple is preparing to take over the world. We think that his quest is to have every living human implanted with a computer chip so that Apple can read their minds. We like to call it the iBrain. Well, there are some days that I think he has already gotten to me. I don’t know how many times I have been thinking of a band or a song, and then all of a sudden my iPod will pull it up on shuffle. As I sit there thinking how cool it is, part of me starts to think of exactly how Apple is plugged into my brain.
Well today is no different. Being a Monday, a COLD Monday at that, and my body still a little achy from the 10+ inches that I shoveled from my driveway Friday night, I get to work, and have a few things to deal with. So right away I can already see the potential that this Monday has. I turn to my trusty iPod. I put all my songs on shuffle and start plugging away at the work. Then, like someone was in my brain monitoring my moods and sending the signal to my iPod through my ear canal, I start to hear one of the best play lists on my iPod in quite a few weeks. Really got me in a good mood too.

So I am here to share with you, the music that the iBrain has chosen to improve me Monday mood. Thank you Steve Jobs.
