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.







the whacky world of wynn

wynn casino

Resistance is futile, and sooner or later the obvious pun had to happen. The casino is about as corny as the pun. The quality of the decor is...whimsical. There are many beautiful waterfalls scattered around, like the one above. And then there's this monstrosity:

dam-type waterfall
I mean WTF is that supposed to be? A representation of Hoover Dam?

Just driving up to the front door is pretty whack. You are greeted by this:

big shoe sculpture
Again WTF? Is Imelda Marcos one of the investors in the new Wynn Casino or something? Heck, is Imelda Marcos even still alive?

Lots of shopping in the joint, heck, there is an entire Ferrari/Maserati dealership in the place. You have some extra winnings burning a hole in your pocket for Peachfront, you can always check out one of the jewelry stores:

yellow diamond

Of course if you just have 30 or 50 thousand to blow, then better stick with the handbags:

I still think I like the owl handbag from Caesar's better though. You be the judge.

And I hate to say it but some of those trees full of flower balls? Some of the flowers are fake. Way fake, ya'll.

Does this look like a $1.7 billion ceiling with lamp to you?

Yeah, me neither. But the biggest knock is the lack of adequate restroom facilities for the ladies. When I went on Thursday morning, it just wasn't as busy as I expected a brand new, just-open-that-day casino to be, but I still had a heck of a time finding sufficient restrooms.
