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.

christmas cactus actually in bloom for the 12 days of xmas!

My Christmas cactus looks absolutely splendiferous for its starring role in the 12 days of Christmas. Here is proof that it can bloom on Christmas instead of Halloween, Thanksgiving, or random days in April.

The house across the street appears to have been saved. It has now passed its inspection and sprouted a green sticker, just in the nick of time.

I've now gone back and added photographs to my Portugal entries, but not to worry. No one has to go back and read all my rambles to get to the photos. I'm going to make up a couple of photo pages really soon, maybe later today even. I also want to make up a page of mosaic photos but I haven't picked out the ones I want yet. The people of Portugal have such an eye for beauty in every little corner of life.

you may skip the discouraged little rant

I wonder why the arts are not valued more in the U.S. When all of our landscapes are scarred by drilling rigs and windmills, and all of our migratory animals extinct for lack of places to migrate to, who would come here? Our cities are already ugly. It's our landscapes and our wildlife that are special. I suppose the "soft dollar policy" is in place to make sure that at least people will always come for cheap shopping. Hey! We can be another Tijuana. Thank you, Mr. Snow and Mr. Bush!

okay, rant over

The title of this entry comes from the famous parable that I have heard comes from Africa, or it comes from South Carolina, or it comes from somewhere in the coastal south. Wherever it comes from, I think it's a true story. And it's quite frustrating when you watch it happen to one of your friends. But this diary is not about violating people's privacy, so I won't say anything more on that topic.
