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.

pure food and water, another casualty thanks to our friends bush and katrina?

Click back a page to check out my Atlantic City photos.

Anybody else freaked out by this poisoned wheat business? It seems to affect the high-end foods (Iams and Science Diet) as well as the generic WalMart brands. And no wonder. Wheat's in everything, isn't it?

For now, they're only acknowledging that the rat poison is found in the "wet" foods. And they're probably correct. But since I'm no expert on food technology and I don't understand why only "wet" wheat and not "dry" wheat might have the poison on it, I'm a little antsy. I'm almost out of parrot seed mix (which usually includes dog or monkey biscuits) and I'm down to my last known-to-be-safe pellets. So, even though it's probably completely unnecessary, I'm cooking my own parrot food for awhile.

Our tap water has turned nasty-as-hell too. It's well water and really only about 15 years since they even started adding chlorine. Fair enough, but now they're seriously adding chlorine. I surmise that they're worried about contaminants getting into the system from all the breaks caused by our friends Bill and Katrina and probably all the extensive highway repair too. But I can't believe how chemical-y it has started to taste, just in the last couple of days. I hope they can tone it down. At least the birds don't seem to notice anything.
