Ahmadijenad’s government has announced a bill which forces all Iranian webloggers to register their information in a web site so government can track them later if they write anything that government doesn’t like. Obviously everyone is against it and it is even against the Iran’s constitution law and government will have a hard time […]
Iranian celebrate the Yalda, the longest night of the year, by getting together, reading poems and symbolically try do fun things. This year, one of the bloggers has suggested a game: everyone confess to 5 things which even his/her close friends don’t know them. So here is mine:

I guess most people think risk means uncertainty; “if you are not certain about something you are taking a risk”. Interestingly, by definition, risk is different from uncertainty: Risk means there are some “known unknown” that you know those known issues might happen, but you don’t know when it will happen, in what direction, […]
Another character in Adieu Gary Cooper is a man who teaches skiing to the tourists in Alps mountains. He is white and so is his wife, and they have a few kids which one of them is black! (Obviously one of the seasonal tourists has had a role in that regard); The man is […]
I am not sure… I was going to meet 1 person at 11? or 11 persons at 1?!
Adieu Gary Cooper has been one of the most favorite books of mine and a few close friends. It is full of interesting characters and we always enjoy quoting from it in different occasions.
Tonight, I was browsing Orkut which is a social networking application and you can list your friends and upload some photos and […]
God exists since mathematics is consistent, and the devil exists since its consistency cannot be proved. - Hermann Weyl
PS. for those who doesn’t know what is consistency of mathematics: It means if ‘currently’ 2 times 2 is 4, in future if we try it again, result will remain 4! It might seem obvious, but […]
When I force you to do something I have applied at least 16 assumptions:
1. Truth exists (somewhere)
2. Truth is unique and there is no multiple-truth
3. The assumed unique truth, has only one face (so if I discover that face, that’s it; there is no other point of view or face that might be missed)
4. Human […]
Before coming to North America, I remember once I was looking at map of highways in California, those multi-level roads and bridges, and I was wondering how this country has been built in less than 200 years and I was thinking every single aspect of life should has been so planned and organized and efficient […]
I visited Chicago two weeks ago; I was always thinking guys in Toronto city hall are following New York as a model for Toronto but now I am sure Chicago is the city they have in mind.
I liked it. I was enough lucky to catchPatritia Barber in Green Mill (the oldest Jazz bar in […]
So many worlds, so much to do,
So little done, such things to be
(Alfred, Lord Tennyson — In Memoriam)
BBC has announced its award for world music (2005). It’s is always my most favorite collection of world music.
This year I discovered Yasmin Levy; just listen to her and enjoy her Mediterranean nostalgic music.
I am studying philosophy of science in U of T. Indeed, it is history and philosophy of science and technology; when people ask me what is the benefit of reading philosophy, I didn’t know how to answer but recently I found a good one. For instance I told to my real state agent […]
As I mentioned before, I am a kind of education addicted, but once you take a course which requires a really hard work and you compete with younger people who are full time students, then things get a little bit hard! At this situation, you have to admit that Being Always Amator has a side […]
Matt and thses ladies must pay copyright to Iranian women to copy their style of Hijab… anyway, he is nominated for the best photoblogs in 2005 and you can vote for him, Sam and Rannie here .
American history has proofed that everyone has a chance to win!

I saw Million Dollar Baby last night; it was beatiful and I liked it. Of course If you are looking for a happy-end hollywood style movie it’s not for you.
In one scene, Morgan Freeman says to Eastwod that everyday someone dies, dishwashers, etc. but only a few poeple could say “I had my […]
Maryam is a big fan of Susan Sontag and I know about her almost nothing, but I read in an article (in New York Times) when she passed away that she liked almost everything! It is obviousely against common paradigm of being professional in something that education system forces us: anybody expect you to be […]
Recycling all magazines, brochures, advertisements that you get along bills, etc, etc plus newspapers that you don’t find time to read them and have to get rid of them when new ones have arrived, gives a strong feeling of living in the moment; forget about the past.
This experience is like saving links: most likely all […]
The lady that is doing my hair cut was asking about my studies and wether it is finished or not, and as usual I explained that this semester I have registered only in one course and I was too busy to take more, etc, etc. She just says I know you are one of those […]
