Technology or magic? Maybe it's one in the same, according to one Huntsville group.

"Arthur C. Clarke said, 'Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic,'" said Geek Out Huntsville, an social media group dedicated to promoting geeky and Huntsville-centric content. Its organizers are anonymous and call their group a collaborative effort.

"Without a doubt, someone seeing what Huntsville does from 100, 50 or even 25 years ago would be amazed at the wonders our city's bright minds are developing. From inflatable emergency wifi to genome testing, from advanced meterological research to traveling to Mars, the feats being accomplished in this city are magical indeed."

With that in mind, the group collaborated with the Huntsville/Madison County Public Library to host a t-shirt sale fundraiser that combines two of any self-respecting Huntsville geek's favorite things: Harry Potter and the Space Shuttle Pathfinder.

The shirt features a whimsical depiction of the Pathfinder with the slogan: "My patronus is the Pathfinder."

The Pathfinder is the space shuttle orbiter simulator that's on display at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center.

A patronus is a magical guardian from the Harry Potter novels that's unique to the witch or wizard who created it by casting a spell.

A patronus is usually an animal, but, well, Huntsville.

Why Harry Potter? "HP is a staple in any nerd's magic fandom," said GOH.

Why the Pathfinder? "The other massive space object that overlooks your drive on I-565 deserves its own shirt. The test construct of metal and wood is magical all to itself."

The shirts are available for sale through May 22. Once 75 are sold, 10 percent of the proceeds will go to the Huntsville/Madison County Public Library.

"Our library contributes so much during the formative years, and then contributes to nurture the curiosity, community and culture of our residents," said GOH. "With Rocket City Nerdcon coming up in the fall, it made good sense to collaborate with them on this. They were excited to be a part of this campaign, and we were thrilled to help them.

GOH plans to post magical-themed content on social media throughout the month of May with the hashtag #HuntsvilleIsMagic.

"Watch for posts featuring Huntsville-themed Magic cards, Harry Potter stuff and more," said GOH. "Let's continue making Huntsville a geeky city that stands out from the rest."

Shirts are $17 and are available here.
