By public demand, and after a delay of an embarrassing number of years, I've finally put my notorious essay, Ender and Hitler: Sympathy for the Superman, free on the fabulous internets.

A bibliography of my published books and stories.

Here's a simple card-counting FAQ to get you up to speed on the basics. Here's the true story of the notorious DD' blackjack team, told for the first time on the fabulous internets. No other team went from a starting investor's bankroll of zero to winning millions of dollars.


A Sadean take on Asimov's classic Three Laws of Robotics can be found in Roger Williams' NOW REVIEWED ON SLASHDOT!!! The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect.

what happens when you break out of the cage by accident?

2008-11-19 - 8:09 a.m.

Click back a page or two for our fabulous birding trip report and list from Savagre and Rancho Naturalista, Costa Rica. At the moment, I'm marooned in MEM.

Much excitement upon our return from Costa Rica. Cookie didn't utter a peep, but first Courtney and then DH began to squawk. I'm afraid I tuned out Courtney's protests, taking it for the usual complaints about, "Why the heck do you ever go out of town?" but then DH said, "Er, there's a problem."

The problem was that somehow, and don't even ask me how, Ronnie had rolled and wiggled and darted and scurried, and now she had somehow snaked herself out of the flight cage, and now she couldn't figure out how to get back inside. Poor baby. Courtney on the inside, Ronnie clinging to the top, both of them the picture of distraught lovers separated by circumstance. I found the perch, offered it to Ronnie, and she quickly stepped onboard, so that she could ride in style. Oops. Then I realized that I should have opened the cage door first. Fortunately, DH opened it without startling her, and she finally was delivered to Courtney's side.

We went to appeal our property assessment to the Parish Council, and the scene cgould be most economically described as a "zoo." It took hours and hours, and finally we kind of whimpered pitifully that we didn't want to peeve anyone off but that I did have to get up at 3:30 AM to catch a plane the next day. It was all worth the headaches and hassle, though, since our appeal was upheld.

It is still possible that the assessor will protest the new assessment, and I'm definitely sensing some tension there between assessor and the other parish officials, who actually hope to be re-elected some day, but for now we are very encouraged.

Well, here I am, tapping my toes in MEM, wondering when our delayed flight to LAS will arrive on the scene. At least I had the first class upgrade MSY-MEM.
