Hi,
This is Dani your math teacher. It is a long weekend and maybe you want to use some of the time to learn about each other and about the local environment.
So I created this blog for you for this purpose.
Maybe you want to write a poem? Share what you have been doing? Ask questions?
Suggest to meet together?

Ithaca definitely is an amazing place. Yesterday I went with some friends from my dorm to the gorges. The nature around here is beautiful. I'm sure probably some others went yesterday. When I went there were probably 40-50 people there enjoying the sun.
Nathan, I am very happy. You inspire me.
I just played with Context Free this morning and wrote this. I am learning....
Let us paste it and see...
startshape A
rule A1 {CIRCLE {sat 0.5 b 1}}
rule A {A1 {size 10 hue 0 }
A1 {size 10 hue 0 }
A1 {size 9 hue 30 }
A1 {size 8 hue 60 }
A1 {size 7 hue 90 }
A1 {size 6 hue 120 }
A1 {size 5 hue 150} }
Hey everyone. While messing around with Java on my macbook pro, I was able to tweak the settings to allow SeeLogo to work. This requires no additional downloading other than the actually SeeLogo program. The instructions are very simple and go like this:
1. Download SeeLogo and locate it on your computer. It starts as a .zip file, just double click it to unzip.
2. The new folder should be called SeeLogoProgram. Inside you should see 7 different icons. The important one which will actually open the program LATER is SeeLogo.jar (it has a coffee mug on it).
3. Go up to the very top right corner of your screen and click on the spotlight icon (the magnifying glass)
4. Type "java preferences" into the search box and click on the correct icon (probably under "top hit")
5. Once opened (it takes a second) go about halfway down the screen to where it says "Java Application Runtime Settings"
6. By clicking and dragging, re-arrange the four versions of Java so it reads:
Java SE 6 (64 bit)
J2SE 5.0 (64 bit)
J2SE 5.0
J2SE 1.4.2
7. Click save at the bottom and close out.
8. Go back to SeeLogo.jar. Double-click to open.
Hopefully this works for all of you. I'll see you Thursday for our hike.
thank you SO MUCH brian.
Brian,
Thanks!!
This is the email I just sent to the class:
Hi everyone,
While I was walking today in the wild flower garden near my house the following idea came to me
and I tried it and it worked (in Context free).
I am passionate about art and life but then I get also the other side when the bubble changes colors... (it is a poem)
You can try it out also.
(just paste it to context free)
There is a puzzle here: Why it works:
Hint: size 0.995 makes the size 99.5% smaller each time and hue 6 adds 6 to the hue each time.
The actual program
startshape A
rule A1 {CIRCLE {size 1 b 0.5
sat 0.7}
}
rule A {A1 {hue 0}
A {size 0.995 hue 6}
}
