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..

someone is banging on my roof right now and i would hope that something is actually being accomplished

2003-08-02 - 8:05 a.m.

The fence and gate are repaired, which makes this the only job to be completed so far. The roofers don't work in the heat of the day for fear of heat stroke, and it poured in the evening, so they could accomplish little yesterday afternoon other than to repair the hole over BF's office and tarp the house. I would love to see the roof finished today, but I'm feeling a bit skeptical.

Although I can't sit anywhere and watch the yard birds, I managed to see the usual suspects yesterday -- Mississippi Kites in the early afternoon, Brown Thrasher fledglings on the ground behind the former finch aviary during the hot part of the day, wet hummingbirds and soaking-wet-to-the-point-where-I-could-see-pink-skin Carolina Wrens during the evening thunderstorm. While the odds say that the hummingbirds were Ruby-Throats, I didn't have my binoculars and don't know for sure. At least one winter hummingbird has already been spotted in the state that I've heard of, which means that there are probably plenty of others that I won't learn about until I get this week's winter hummingbird report.

later

Tom Daschle, the Democratic leader and senator from South Dakota, is going to try blogging for the month of August while taking his annual road trip. He was one of the anthrax victims, but he doesn't seem to dwell on it.

around 12:30 P.M.

They finished the roof. They almost forgot to do the trim over the front window though, so BF and I had to politely point it out. I almost can't believe it. A complete, hole-free roof over my head for the first time in a month. Hallelujah!
