Posted in math with tags iPad, technology on February 2, 2010 by isallaboutmathI 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 Akira Kurosawa, Akutagawa, In a Grove, Japanese movie, Rashomon on February 2, 2010 by isallaboutmathLast 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 Dulce Maria Loynaz on February 1, 2010 by isallaboutmathTwo 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!
