Today's Google

Why on earth Google is black today?
It gave me an hearth attack when I saw that first. I have no idea what is going on.


I see. It's Earth Hour . Google user in Canada "turned the lights out" on the Google homepage as a gesture to raise awareness of a worldwide energy conservation effort.

Energy....
I guess energy is a big deal for our globe, but as far as I'm concerned energy* time > h/2 !

Shobeir,,, sorry but I didn't really understand what you meant. It has been a while since I took physics. If that equation has anything to do with physics. I don't know. That was the best I could come up with:(

Well, actually this was an alternative form of Heisenberg's uncertainity principle that is used drastically in Quantum mechanics :)
btw what's your major field of study?

I just looked up Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and the only thing that was familiar was the concept of Plank's constant. I've studied quantum mechanics while ago during my high school and the first/second year of undergrad. It wasn't my favourite subject. I enjoyed mechanics but that was as far as it goes. To be honest I don't remember anything about Heisenberg's uncertainty principle now. I've studied cell mol biology and now I'm doing library and info. studies. So I think I've the right to not remember anything about Heisenberg's uncertainty principle:)

:) I know what you mean. i guess that makes our conversations more interesting because we, as people, don't share the same knowledge, opinion, and experiences.

Things that really matter

I remember once when I was in school, couple of friends suggested skipping the class and going to see a movie. Of course the nerd in me couldn't handle the stress of missing a lecture. So I announced that I wouldn't go with them but I would gladly go to class and share my notes with whoever likes to have them later. I don't recall the content of that lecture nor do I recall the course but I never forget that I didn't watch 'the Banu Ordibehesht' with my friends.

"Be a rainbow in someone’s cloud"

Photo from here . “God puts rainbows in the clouds so that each of us- in the dreariest and most dreaded moments- can see a possibility of hope.” Maya Angelou  Some time ago, I had the pleasure of attending one of Maya Angelou’s talks. I was very excited about listing to her. When I bought the ticket, I told to myself that was an early birthday present for me. I went for the talk to be inspired and to figure out why this woman was so successful as she was. Although I never regret going to that talk (since I learned one or two things), the talk was not as inspiring as I hoped. I had heard better talks before. She is not one of those people that I call gifted public speakers. She was witty and smart but didn’t really do it for me. However, what I learned was that I can be a rainbow in someone’s cloud. When she was talking about a rainbow, she was talking about her cripple poor uncle who not only changed her life but had an impact on other kids in the neighbourhood. When she was talki

Happy Persian New Year, Sal-e noe mobarak! I set my 7-seen table finally this morning. I want everyone to notice my happy mug which contains some wheat cat grass. The one I try to make from lentil, didn't turn out very well since I remembered to start doing it 10 days ago. The weather today was surprisingly amazing. I received some chocolate as eidi (which was a nice surprise too and from someone whom I was trying to be mad at), played squashed with some friends, then went swimming. As I was swimming in the quiet pool, I started thinking that I should be very grateful for this nice facility on campus and should take more advantage of it. I was happy but by the end of the day, I couldn't help it wonder about some stuff in my life. More thinking and analyzing does not help either; Some cry does though. At least I feel better now. I am just worried that I am on the wrong track. I wish everyone a wonderful year ahead. I usually don't right anything here in Farsi but I really
