For those of you who are uninterested in my increasingly recondite ramblings on comics, continuity, canon, quantum physics and Doctor Who, here’s some music… Incidentally, I lose track of what I have and haven’t included in these, but I hope there’s always enough new stuff to keep people interested… Come To The Sunshine by Harper’s [...]

“The only thing I can think of to do in that situation is what I usually do, which is lie and pretend I totally meant that to happen all along. Like, instead of a real gun, it’s a magic crime-solving gun, and how I always knew Despero’s secret plan was to take over the universe. [...]

52 post coming a little later, but for now here’s some links: The big news for comic fans at the moment – probably the biggest of the decade – is that Disney have bought Marvel. This could be either a very good or a very bad thing for the comic industry. If Disney started insisting [...]

What then is time? If no one asks me, I know what it is. If I wish to explain it to him who asks, I do not know. – Saint Augustine This post comes with a health warning – I am talking here about quantum physics. There is nothing more likely to produce wrongheaded drivel [...]

I’ve not been particularly well the last couple of days (terrible acid indigestion in the evenings, my usual writing time) and so I’ve not yet finished the latest Hyperpost, but I hope to have two up tomorrow – one on 52 and fanfic, and one on The End Of Time. In the meantime, some links… [...]

Very tired and stressed today, so the next proper hyperpost won’t be til tomorrow night. Instead, you get this, dealing with various points raised by Pillock and Zom (and anyone else who comments – I notice Sean Witzke just commented) in the comments to the recent posts. This might be a little disjointed, but consider [...]

Proper post in an hour or so (one of the hyperpost series – I think this one’s the weak link in terms of my writing, but it’s an ‘I have to say this, so I can say this’ post) but I couldn’t let the death of Ellie Greenwich go without comment, so here’s a quick [...]

I’m too tired today to write the next hyperpost, but the posts for the next few days are planned out in my head, and will probably be: Tomorrow – The Kingdom, and the storytelling possibilities of Hypertime Thursday – The End Of Time – a look at Julian Barbour’s book (with reference also to Deutsch’s [...]

Biography lends to death a new terror – Oscar Wilde Melmoth, the sixth and shortest of the separate ‘graphic novels’ that make up the work Cerebus, is, at two hundred pages, described by its author/co-artist Dave Sim as a ‘short story’, because it takes so little time to read in comparison with his longer, more [...]
