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.

Humor Hand of the Day: Black Hawk may be the home of the weak-tight Asian limit hold 'em player, but I've discovered a whole wild new universe of weak-tight Asian middle-aged males who play No Limit in Vegas. As Rod Sterling used to say, welcome to the Twilight Zone.

2/5 NL in nit hell.

I have 5 ♥ 3 ♥ in the small blind. 3 limpers. I have no idea why I didn't raise then and there and take the cheap money, but I didn't think of it until I'd already checked. 5 players. $25 in the pot. Effective stacks are $300 -- me and my principle opponent both have the smallest stacks of approximately that amount.

Flop: 5 ♦ 3 ♣ 4 ♥

I has two pair and you don't. Why not donk out right now and take it down? Well, here I have some pitiful justification for my lack of action. Maybe some clown has A rag and will put money in the pot with his gutshot and THEN I check/raise and take it down. So I check, an early position weak-tight Asian guy bets out $20, a late position player calls, and boo-yah, there is no longer any excuse for dilly-dallying around. I check/raise to $60. Should be a clear signal to the rest of you clowns to fold...

Asian dude actually calls. Ho-kay. Other dude folds. $165 in the pot.

Turn: 8 ♥

I have picked up the heart flush draw to go with my two pair. He checks, and I raise all in for the rest of my stack. He flashes 8 ♦ 5 ♣ for top two and folds. Tee hee. I scoop up the pot with the second best hand.
