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.







"bird on the loose!"

2010-10-01 - 9:56 a.m.

Still no computer.

I can't quite figure out what or how to move first, to "make room, make room." I puttered some in the bedroom yesterday, where I found a very fine Brazilian Agate, almost 3 pounds, and also a beautiful 4 pound single terminated Quartz crystal from the Hot Springs, Arkansas area. I have photos in my camera, ready to download when I get my own computer again.

I got somewhat side-tracked into sorting all of my belts, which seems a silly task, since we don't wear belts any more, since pants start at the hips rather than the waist and can be bought to fit properly. Younger readers won't even know what I'm talking about, but prior to the 1990s, pants started at the waist instead of the hips, and the odds of finding a pair of pants that fit correctly at both waist and the hips, well, most of the time, that's just not gonna happen, at least not for a petite but curvy female. Hence the need for a belt to pull in that waist. Also people wore more long/oversized shirts instead of cropped tops, so again you had to have a belt to define your figure. I didn't quite realize that I had THAT many belts, though.

Oh, and I finally took a photograph out of a stupid cardboard frame that Caesar's Las Vegas gave me and put it in a proper frame from one of the many frames living in the attic. Should have done that years ago.

Another beautiful day. Courtney was complaining -- not the cat call, but the "there's a problem, folks," call -- and I went to see a female Common Yellowthroat rustling around in the bush near his flight. "That's OK, she's allowed to be out there, as long as she understands that she has to find her own food." I wonder what caught his attention about that bird. He doesn't feel called upon to report every time the Carolina Wrens come poking around.
