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.







in our fast-paced modern world, it's only the five days of christmas

2004-01-02 - 8:52 a.m.

Hummingbird Report: The Rufous/Allen's is using the back feeder.

The neighbors have removed their huge Christmas display. I noticed it a couple of days ago. Perhaps they celebrate "Shopping"mas rather than Christmas and as the shopping frenzy ends on December 26, they have no wish to keep the decorations up.

Haven't they ever heard of the 12 days of Christmas?

I think I posted the same gripe last year but I'm not motivated enough to check right now.

We had a good traditional feast yesterday -- cabbage, black-eyed peas, ham. More champagne. I think I've finally had enough champagne to hold me for awhile. Cookie ate four black-eyed peas, so I confidently expect him to find his ninety million dollars in the coming year. He also literally and vigorously rang in the new year with his copper bell.

There are several Eurasian Collared-Doves zipping around, and I think I just saw a Sharp-Shinned Hawk darting through the trees but it was too fast for me to be certain.

An Eastern Phoebe visited the yard for a few minutes. It still has a very nice yellow wash on its undersides like a fresh fall bird.

later

The hummingbird visited many times during the day. I last saw her at around 4 P.M. Figures. The only "short day" was when the banding trap went up.
