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.

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.

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.







great british pounds and modest too

Apparently Amazon or some associated publisher coughed up a bunch of accumulated British pounds for DH's book. There was a funny story about a German bank check in British pounds that arrived at the office of the fan in California (?) who did the conversion and put it on Amazon. Sounded like a story from 1972 when foreign publishers tried to go years before they finally gathered up the funds and sent out an uncashable check. It's a little weird because I get my puny royalties from Amazon UK and Amazon EU by direct deposit in dollars but no doubt there's more to the story than we understand. Not sure the fan knows the whole story either but hey! We'll take it! Anybody out there who wants to throw money at us in the currency of your choice, including Bitcoin, go knock yourself out with our enduring gratitude.

Of course normal people already know this but here's a clue for the German bank. Two words: Pay Pal.

I cleared a lot more weeds Tuesday and I have to say that I'm really impressed. I never did any real work -- or even went more than an evening -- without having to touch up my nails before. Apparently the genius of YouTube is correct, and if you use China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat over OPI Chip Skip, then your nail polish will last even if you have oily skin. I stand amazed. I couldn't even get professional polish because it would flake off the tips in hours and I wouldn't even have my own polish to touch it up with...but now...! I wish I had known this years ago. All that time I played cards, I had to wear artificial nails, which is annoying in its own right...
