Hellblazer: Hogwarts

Camwyn, the author of the Silmarillion in 1000 Words, is also working on a cross between Hellblazer and the Harry Potterverse.

In my humble opinion, she’s done a brilliant job with it. Now I have to go find some Hellblazer comics to remind myself how accurate that half is.

A comic strip about cancer?

Sometimes, you just have to deal with things in the way that comes most naturally.

Update: thanks to Rob for the link.

Watched Bend it Like Beckham last night…

The question is: let the 6-year-old watch it for the message of the talented girl doing what she has to to get what she’s good at, and refusing in the end to lie to her parents to get it, or not let her watch it because of the (mild) sexual situations?

(The answer turned out to be, “I’m tired now, Mommy, I’m going to bed.” Doesn’t obviate the question, though…)

Ok, I have a new favorite 404 page.

Only problem is, you’d have to be following Diane Duane’s Young Wizards series for the last 20 years to really get it.

The page cannot be displayed

The page you have requested is not available in the Manual at the moment. This may be due to a change in access authorization requirements, ongoing revisions of the pertinent material, or temporary aberrations in the local time-space continuum. There is also the possibility that the new sysadmin the Powers that Be just hired is on Its coffee break. Again.


Please try the following:

Click the Refresh button, or try again later (or the equivalent of “later” in your local timeflow).

Click here to go to the Young Wizards website’s introduction page. The navigation menu at the top of the page may have a link to somewhere you were trying to go.

Click the Back button to try another link.

If the above measures don’t produce the desired result, please make sure you are in the correct universe for the page you are requesting. To check your coordinates, meta-click on the toolbar clock to bring up the timespace coordinate-adjustment tool. The settings should match those found in the Manual under Continuum- and plenum-specific attributes; in case of difficulty you can also obtain the necessary data from your local Advisory wizard or equivalent.

If your preferred input method is a keyboard, check to see that you typed the name of the desired page correctly.

If you did, the error may lie with your keyboard. Try downloading a newer version of the Speech-friendly keyboard drivers from your hardware’s manufacturer. (Windows XP users: of course there are no XP drivers. You knew before you even asked. Use the 2000 drivers and hope for the best.)

For some pages, permission from an Advisory or Senior-level wizard (or higher) is required. Click the Help menu and then click Access-level modification and sanction review to file a request or seek adjustment of an existing sanction.

Cannot find Page or Temporospatial Coordinate Error

Supraplenum Explorer

Edit: oops, the series isn’t quite that old…
