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.







red-bellies, red-heads

2012-06-10 - 9:33 a.m.

Visitor of the week is the fledgling Red-Bellied Woodpecker who keeps using the feeder. But where oh where are the young Red-Heads? It's raining like heck. Cute to see the determined Red-Belly baby feeding in the rain.

Our grinding wheel is really taking potshots at us, and most of Saturday was lost when DH almost donated a fingertip to the project. Sigh. Then the horrible people in the waiting room wanted to talk in loud, ringing voices about "cauterizing wounds." I went outside for awhile but, hello, it was pouring down rain. I finally had to ask them to STFU. I didn't phrase it quite that way, but honestly. What's the matter with people? The woman later explained that she didn't have a smart phone, but you know, there is another option if you can't text every stupid thought that enters your mind. That option is SILENCIO!

In Saturday's mail, I got a check for $7 from Delta, as a result of having kindly informed them that if DL 182 KIX-JFK is coded as a domestic flight, they owe me some miles. And if DL 182 KIX-JFK is an international flight, then I need to get my $7 coupon back for my Woodford Reserve on the SEA-JFK portion of that flight, since I was seated in Economy Comfort, where I'm supposed to get free drinks. I actually just expected them to send me a replacement coupon, although I would have been delighted if instead they had credited me with the extra miles. In the event, they did neither, choosing to send me a check for $7. OK, cool. I have upgraded a HOV coupon into cash. If only I could do that in real life.
