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..

Peachfront's Note: Check out my October 2009 Bolivia "Bird of Prey" trek: To start with Part 1, please click right here. If you missed any previous installments, well, here's Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, and the thrilling conclusion, Part 6. Or check out my bird trip list with over 50 new life species.

I am now listed as a sponsor for The Raptors of South America. Don't worry, friends and neighbors, I was asked first, so if anyone wants to make a secret anonymous contribution, I'm confident that it's allowed. I was wondering what photo they would use, since I'm a difficult and camera shy subject at best. If I don't have on hat and sunglasses like a bank robber who forgot his clown suit, then I have on endless layers of camera vest that makes me look twice my actual size. But they somehow found a photo where I had a face and a body. Maybe too much of a body. Yikes. Oh, and I never look at the camera or, if I do, I put my hand over my face like Lindsay Lohan under arrest for DUI. So, yah, a difficult subject. I'm a tad surprised they found a photo at all. The one they used is from the cloud forest at Siberia, Bolivia. Siberia, huh. I guess it's usually cold. Well, not on this trip. I was complaining about why did I pack my heavy coat -- actually, the IMOM's London Fog heavy coat, but never mind about that, I'll get it dry-cleaned before he ever figures out it made the trip to Bolivia -- and so anyways. As you can see in the picture, the coats are off, the vest is off, the long sleeve button down shirt is off -- it was a little humid, sure, it's a cloud forest, but "Siberia" no. Not that I've ever been to Siberia. I guess I should ask my sister.
