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 my card-counting FAQ.

real sleepy now

I got a gate upgrade for LAS-ATL -- pre-board cocktail (coffee and Bailey's) and, holy moly, an actual meal with a choice of omelet or Cheerios. I went for the omelet. The plane even managed to land a little bit early. Are they actually trying to impress us a little bit?
Pre-board cocktail ATL-MSY also. Snack basket. I had white wine and chips. Wheeee. Now I'm ready to turn in early for a change.
Oh, and you know what I forgot to mention? I'm sure I bragged about getting the 4 aces at Double Bonus Poker for my September coupon. Well, I got it for my October coupon as well -- with no waiting. I had to play maybe 15 minutes tops to get my October coupons. And I'm talking table game coupons PLUS the video poker coupons. Hell, my 2 to 1 blackjack was dealt to me on the very first hand. A good couple of months for the coupons. Just wheel spinning on the poker team though. Enough to cover expenses and a small distribution but nothing like our triumph in July.
