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..

It's the little things.

Diaryland found my private entries, although Andrew seemed a little puzzled that I had only four, when I had over 1,000 public entries. No, you did it right, Andrew. That's everything, thanks!

St. Tammany Parish starting getting mail service again on Saturday. That's all well and good, but what about people whose houses are uninhabitable and are staying several hundred miles away because of lack of hotel rooms and can't pick up their damn mail? I'll try to call on Monday and see if I get anything on the phone but a fast busy so I can find out if they will hold our mail awhile longer. A little additional hassle I could have done without.

I still don't have our Katrina pictures up yet so here's one from Bill:

hot tub away
� 2003 by Roger Williams

That's our hot tub being craned over the house after it was smashed by the oak tree which also smashed our house.

I got a call through to my insurance company. Yay! She said that they'll get the adjusters out in order of the severity and urgency of the claim, so it could be awhile. But at least we're on the list. She said if we were able to make repairs, to take good pictures and keep the receipts, but to go ahead and get the ball rolling if we were able. Of course, there will be a shortage of workers too. But at least we're in the system.

Because the deductible for hurricane damage is so high, and because DH missed nine days of work, I just tried to file a claim with FEMA in case we are eligible. You hear different stories. But if they want to help out and redeem themselves, I'll give them their chance. Their website was a little weird though. I'm not confident that they really got my claim, since there was no way to check or go back to be sure I filled everything out correctly. That doesn't seem like it should be correct. Heck, you get a confirmation page if you order a package of parsley seeds online. Oh well, I'll see if I can check in again in a couple days.
