Read my new book, The 10 Best Things You Can Do For Your Bird at Amazon or at many other fine distributors like Barnes & Noble, iTunes, Kobo, and more.


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. Adult readers only please -- explicit sex and violence. For updates on the "Dead Tree Project" and other topics, you may visit the official fan site, Passages in the Void..

HEY! What happened to the Peachfront Conure Files? The world's only OFFICIAL Peachfront Conure site now features free peachfront conure coverage, including a magazine length Intro to Conures previously published in American Cage-Bird Magazine, now free on the web.

If you have great Peachfront Conure info, stories, or photos to share, contact me so I can publicize your pet, your breeding success, your great photograph, etc. on my site. Thanks.







dinner with the president or something like him

2013-01-12 - 4:25 p.m.

Jan. 7, 2013

When I last posted, I was on my way to dinner in the fancy-pants San Telmo steakhouse, where they "chopped" the bottle of wine in a special device right at the table. Empanadas, asado especial, dulce de leche. A bit like some of those places in San Francisco, with stained glass, leather, and wood, shaggy cowhide on the menus, pictures of various luminaries on the wall. We supposedly sat at the table where President Lula -- president of Brazil, not Argentina -- supposedly dined, but after awhile, they confessed that when he dined there, he wasn't the president yet. He must have famous for something already though, since they got his autograph on an arty black and white photo with the poseur beard.

Bad dreams from eating so late at night, although I will have to get used to it, since I have been warned that restaurants don't even bother to open for dinner until 8 P.M.

We could have slept in this morning. Our morning flight has been canceled. Stay tuned...

I have learned that the Caracara I glimpsed from the car in Buenos Aires was not, in fact, a Yellow-headed Caracara but was, instead, my life Chimango Caracara. Oopsy.

Peachfront's Note: Obviously I have fallen considerably behind in writing up my thrilling trip report, but I went ahead and posted this page to get you started. Everything from Iguazu Falls to a highly pleasant Crested Solitary Eagle will be upcoming soon.
