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. I offer the best free Peachfront Conure information on the internet. 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.







money, money, money on a rainy day

2011-12-17 - 9:22 a.m.

What a gloomy day! Rain, rain, rain, rain. A bunch of financial stuff, lunch at the Orangery where I had the lobster crepes, onward to another bank where I closed out an old account and got the stuff out of my old deposit box. By that time, my flashy gold plastic raincoat all imprinted with whatever had completely imploded under the arms. Trashed the raincoat, sorted and trashed a bunch of old financial records, many for accounts we no longer held. No rare gems, no pirate gold. Yes, there was really nothing of value left in the box at all, except for my old books and magazines, which I plan to either Kindle-ize or just put online on my own page....

A bit depressing in a way to be selling off my junk silver and my stock, closing accounts here and there, but we saved a long time for a rainy day, so I don't really know why I'm sad. Actually, I should be glad that I cleared out so much junk silver this summer at $40 an ounce, since it has now dipped below $30. And my old JNJ stock paid for my upcoming Eagle tour of South Africa.

We're closing and consolidating two other bank accounts, in addition to this one that I just closed, and they should be enough to fully fund the 2012 IRAs.
