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..

made the appointment

2003-07-22 - 9:34 a.m.

Denial is an admirable quality in many ways, but it only goes so far, and, as my neck is still painful after 9 hours of deep sleep, I feel no choice but to see the doctor tomorrow. Grumble and mumble. The thought of someone poking and prodding at my neck does not fill me with glee.

around 2:45 P.M.

The windshield guy came and put a new windshield on the van. I must have looked pitiful, because he knocked $50 off the quote. All I need now is a brake tag. Unfortunately, I don't feel well enough to drive down and get one. Maybe in a little while. I'm a bit concerned about trying to drive such a large vehicle with a stiff neck.

No work on the house today. The contractor called and said that some roofing materials will be delivered tomorrow. We shall see.

No word from the other woman's insurance company about my accident.

around 6:45ish

I called the car insurance people and found out where they wanted me to take the car, then called the tow truck service and arranged for them to take it there. I was also supposed to get a rental car, but when I called the rental car agency, the clerk said that they didn't have any more cars. I explained that I needed to see the doctor tomorrow and that there is no public transportation here in the Great White North, so she said to call back in the morning when, if all goes well, they will have more cars.

The insurance agency also transferred my claim from Birmingham to somewhere in the 504 area code, since I now have to file an injury claim. They didn't seem angry that I didn't know that I was hurt right away. Apparently, this is common with whiplash.

I'm hoping the doctor will take a look and tell me that I just need to stop worrying and take some ibuprofen. But I need to hear it from a professional, to put my mind at ease.

We took the van for its first outing today. It was too late to get a brake tag, but I put the paperwork in the van showing that we'd just got a new windshield today. We went to Isabella's Pizzeria and each had a glass of the Big Ass Chardonnay. A rather boastful name for an inexpensive chardonnay, but I was impressed. The next time I go to Rouse's, I'll get a bottle or two, because it is damned difficult for me to find an inexpensive chardonnay that I honestly like.
