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.

I didn't sell any more readings on eBay. The trouble is page views. I didn't get any, except from people I brought to the site myself. Ebay's search engine is still broken, returning page after page of mass market junk instead of posts from real people. At least I found out what I needed to know — which is that EBay adds no value at all. They just take a too large cut for providing exactly nothing.

Got a haircut. Got my first IPL Photo Facial treatment. I bought a package of three through Groupon, and then I can just pay the price for the other two treatments. It will come in at less than half the price I was quoted by the other doctor.

I spent my $50 in Amex gift cards wisely, on wine and foofy cheese.

A man from RTH makes rosaries, and he sent me one that he made with orange Swarovski crystals. Really out of the blue, but a super-sweet gesture. I thought a moment and realized that it would go perfectly in the small petrified wood box I made last year.

Rain, rain, rain. The Brown-Headed Cowbirds have departed, and I can put out seed again. The fresh set-up was investigated by a Song Sparrow and a male Red-Bellied Woodpecker.

By the way, some guy in casual clothes was walking down Hwy 22 carrying a shotgun yesterday in the drizzle. I guess he was supposed to be there, since it's Mandeville, and no one seemed much alarmed. Nutria? Or maybe everyone else thought, as I did, that it's one for the somebody else's problem file.
