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..


My Bird Lists -- My Louisiana State Life List, My Yard List and, tah dah, My World Life List.


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.







no electricity but we did have a visit from a bald eagle

2012-08-31 - 1:01 p.m.

We had a nice sunny morning. The ice is still holding out but after lunch I went out to get some gas and drive around to get a little charge on the phone and the computer. I've got around 20 minutes on the computer so I will have to make the most of it. Apparently, phone calls are not getting through, and folks are grumbling. If they are really wondering if I'm still alive, one wonders why they don't check my diary, which has only been running for over 9 years 9 months and 9 days but I guess that's giving folks too much credit. They could check my tweets but maybe they think I've Hootsuited the storm coverage? Sigh. People just don't think before they panic.

Anyhoo, still no power after 55 hours. I am going to put back the seed feeder today because the wind is pretty much gone. I guess I should have put it up last night. An adult Red-Headed Woodpecker came and looked into my window last night and let me know that he was very, very disappointed in how I let down the team by not having woodpecker food out during the storm.

Lots of Gnatcatchers yesterday but they seem to have departed. Today instead the Great-crested Flycatchers were flycatching the moths and skippers using the Japanese plum tree. Tons of Ruby-throated Hummingbirds using the yard, many of them checking the same stand of red salvia flowers. Do these flowers ever run out of nectar?

As I stepped out of the car this afternoon, I noticed an adult Bald Eagle. It seemed as if he noticed me, since he circled and then flew right over me, but I figure it was just coincidence. Heh. I don't look like a nice tasty Coot just yet.
