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.







rough landing

2013-01-06 - 7:53 a.m.

MSY-ATL. Offered a pre-departure Bailey's on the rocks. I think the FA gave me the rest of the Bailey's during the flight. He kept topping me off...

Shower in the club room. The internet service was out in Atlanta, which entailed all sorts of hand-wringing and random announcements. I studied my bird book and sipped only one glass of white wine as I worked. Then to the gate.

ATL-EZE. Just before departure, they announced that you did NOT have to already have your fee paid and printed receipt in hand. "They have put that off until tomorrow." Why mention it at all then? The people who hadn't known about the new rule and were sailing along in blissful ignorance suddenly started to worry.

I was disappointed in the business class. The seats did not go all the way flat, and they were NOT angled. It was the old Northwest style where the guy in the window seat has to step over my sleeping form whenever he wants to visit the little boy's room. Pre-departure champagne. A kinda meh dinner. I didn't sleep very well. There was lots of turbulence, and I ended up tossing my cookies a couple of times, then rehydrating with Diet Coke.

A beautiful day in Buenos Aries. S. picked me up and gave me the nickel tour of the capitol buildings, obelisk, and what have you. Now for a shower and a stroll.
