The Apple iPad.

Posted in math with tags , on February 2, 2010 by isallaboutmath

I am starting to feel sorry I ever bought an apple product. Because now I am in the process of becoming an apple fanboy.

The first product I got from them was an Apple iPod then I got the iPhone and then I got the Apple TV and now I am looking to get the Apple iPad never mind the name.

Rashomon

Posted in math with tags , , , , on February 2, 2010 by isallaboutmath

Last weekend I wanted to see Rashomon a famous movie by the even more famous Japanese director Akira Kurosawa and the actor legend Toshiro Mifune. Found it in youtube!

The movie is about one story told from 4 different points of view. The viewer is left to deduce which of the stories is true.  As life itself we may find many times contradictions between what some people claim and reality.

So what is real and what is fantasy and how people may twist reality to fit their own interests.

Here is the links

To learn more about the movie

visit Wikipedia  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rashomon_(film)

The movie is base on a short story called “In a Grove” by Ryūnosuke Akutagawa,

Dulce Maria Loynaz. Two Poems

Posted in math with tags on February 1, 2010 by isallaboutmath

Two Poems

I dream of classifying

I had dream of classifying
Good and Evil, the same way scientist
classify butterflies:

I had dream to pin Good and Evil
in the dark velvet
of the glass display case…

Under the white butterfly
a label that will read “The Good”.
under the black butterfly,
a label that will read “The Evil”.

But the white butterfly
was not the good, neither the black butterfly
was the evil… And between my two butterflies,
green, golden and infinite all the earth butterflies fly.
If you love me, love me whole
If you love me, love me whole
not by zones of light or shadow…
if you love me, love me black
and white, and gray and green and blond,
and mixed…
love me day,
love me night…
and in the morning with the open window!
If you love me, don’t break me in pieces:
love me whole… Or do not love me at all.

Dos Poemas

YO SOÑABA EN CLASIFICAR…
Yo soñaba en clasificar
el Bien y el Mal, como los sabios
clasifican las mariposas:
Yo soñaba en clavar el Bien y el Mal
en el obscuro terciopelo
de una vitrina de cristal…
Debajo de la mariposa
blanca, un letrero que dijera: “EL BIEN”.
Debajo de la mariposa
negra, un letrero que dijera: “EL MAL”.
Pero la mariposa blanca
no era el bien, ni la mariposa negra
era el mal… ¡Y entre mis dos mariposas,
volaban verdes, áureas, infinitas,
todas las mariposas de la tierra!…
SI ME QUIERES, QUIÉREME ENTERA
Si me quieres, quiéreme entera,
no por zonas de luz o sombra…
Si me quieres, quiéreme negra
y blanca. Y gris, y verde, y rubia,
y morena…
Quiéreme día,
quiéreme noche…
¡Y madrugada en la ventana abierta!
Si me quieres, no me recortes:
¡Quiéreme toda… O no me quieras!
