August 24 2009 is the 110 anniversary of Borges birth day.

Warhol should have made some art with him. Had he known him, he probably would. So here I go myself.

Borges said: "I don't see a Literature without short stories or without poetry, while the four / five- hundred-pages novels might very well disappear."

The novel is not dead today, but I think he had a point in foreseeing that the future would hold for the shortness in communications. I don't know, tho, if he could imagine the reasons why (acceleration of change, technology, Internet, mobile communications, etc).

He was a visionary, previewing the times of MicroBlogging, SMS and Twitter.

He was a genius. Happy birthday, Borges.

this song has inspired me.

"It's a thief in the night to come and grab you
It can creep up inside you and consume you
A disease of the mind, it can control you
It's too close for comfort"

I am currently working on the TED Open Translation Project, reviewing Translations to Spanish of the talks. I will be posting there those I worked on, also because I am specially fond of the contents. You choose "view subtitles" in the video and you get the Spanish Version. Also you can go directly to this link: http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/spa/garrett_lisi_on_his_theory_of_everything.html
