Die New Yorker se jongste voorblad is deur die kunstenaar Jorge Colombo op sy iPhone geteken:

Jorge Colombo drew this week’s cover using Brushes, an application for the iPhone, while standing for an hour outside Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum in Times Square.

Telefone is nie meer wat hulle was in Nommer Asseblief nie. Ek weet egter nie wie is meer opgewonde oor die koms van die iPhone nie. Ek of tant Kriekie?

Jorge Luis Borges was ‘n Argentynse skrywer wie se lewensuitkyk grootliks beïnvloed is deur Baruch Spinoza, ‘n Nederlandse filosoof. Nog ‘n aanhanger van Spinoza was die fisikus Albert Einstein.

Baruch Spinoza

Like golden mist, the west lights up
The window. The diligent manuscript
Awaits, already laden with infinity.
Someone is building God in the twilight.
A man engenders God. He is a Jew
Of sad eyes and citrine skin.
Time carries him as the river carries
A leaf in the downstream water.
No matter. The enchanted one insists
And shapes God with delicate geometry.
Since his illness, since his birth,
He goes on constructing God with the word.
The mightiest love was granted him
Love that does not expect to be loved.

- Jorge Luis Borges

O my genade! Ek het so pas op hierdie trailer afgekom van een van die grootste fliekgebeurtenisse wat ons binnekort gaan tref. Berei julle voor vir:

Terminator Salvation!!!

As die fliek net halfpad so goed gaan wees as die trailor, sal dit die moeite werd wees. Oor en oor.

& Christian Bale van Batman-faam (The Dark Night) speel daarin! Hy speel nie in slegte flieks nie.

Yes. Yes. Yes.
