Greg Howley dot com - Blog of Wonder

This site is my personal web design playground and my primary presence on the internet. I'm a father, a software and web developer, a tabletop/board/video gamer, a lindy hopper, a lover of all things science fiction, and an all-around geek. I originally wrote the php code that runs this blog in 2004, but since that time social media has supplanted a lot of what used to be here. I retain this site mainly for my blog archive, since social media isn't generally good about archival.

You can follow the below links to access all my various social media accounts.

Magicians, The, by Lev Grossman

At first, I'd taken The Magicians to be a shameless knock-off of Harry Potter - the Battlestar Galactica to Hogwart's Star Wars. The references to owls, thestrals, and even quidditch are impossible to ignore. But it's not just Harry Potter; it's Narnia too.
