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.







female blackbirds are brown

2003-03-31 - 3:48 p.m.

Another beautiful day -- White-Throated Sparrows still present and singing, male Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds moving through, the Carolina Chickadees going back and forth to the nest box. I believe that the Carolina Wrens might be nesting under the deck. A couple of female Red-Winged Blackbirds are playing in the pond.

Quote of the Day: "Is it Vietnam yet?" -- political cartoonist Daryl Cagle.

later

I was planting more herbs -- tarragon, wormwood (a friend says it fights moths), dill, borage -- and some of the new hummingbird plants -- the red Salvia van Houttii, vervain, cardinal climber. I encountered several earthworms in the once worthless soil of the hummingbird garden, and I also encountered a pale, sleepy hibernating tree frog which clung to my hand for a moment before leaping away.

It was my second tree frog of the spring, but the first was busily disappearing down a Carolina anole's mouth, so I'm not sure if that one counts.

I actually meant to buy cypress vine, instead of the cardinal climber, but I got the plants confused at the nursery. They are in the same genus, but I have the perhaps mistaken impression that the cardinal climber is some sort of hybrid or modern invention.

brag of the day

Whoo hoo! BF has been asked to participate in a "meet the author" IRC chat at irc.lucifer.com on Friday night, which is a site populated by transhumanist/Singularity-type folks. He has installed his "chat" program and has been practicing chatting. I warned him that it took amazing amounts of patience to chat. Fortunately, he is not nearly as patience challenged as I am.
