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.

Oh my Lord. It was time to color my hair. When I opened the box, I noticed that the instructions were missing. I did think a little think, but then I decided that I must have taken them out at an earlier time to remove some UPC code or something, since this box was the very last of the free boxes of hair color that the drugstores in my area used to give away in their rebate schemes every month.

And now my hair is purple.

Not as purple as this guy, who is violently purple even though he somehow photographed an eye-popping blue:

Not hints-a-purple like this guy:

blue-chested hummingbird of Panama
Blue-Chested Hummingbird of Panama

It's more of that maroon-y type hair color purple.

Aaarrrgggghhhhh!

Hummingbird Report: I have a female RTHU using the near feeder repeatedly this morning. Later: The male finally showed up around 10 A.M. at the near feeder. Later: The male and female keep chasing each other off the favored near feeder. Later: Up to 3 male RTHUs plus the female have been fighting over the near feeder -- tres hilarious.

Later

Hey, I just got a Monarch Butterfly stop by. It seems like ages. And this one isn't an April fool, unlike the story of the purple hair.

Later

I have acquired two new baby Siamese Fighting Fish. They are sort of a blue-purple in the right light. I got them from Freecycle. There were four. Two she was certain were females, and these two are just probably females. It's shallow of me, I know, but I took the "probablies" so that I might have a slight chance of a beautiful male developing.

Maybe I'll photograph them later, but it's getting a little ridiculous, because I need to get my Panama photographs edited before I do anything else.
