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.

in spain the rain may fall mainly on the plain but the wind is a freakin' monsoon

2014-03-11 - 12:38 p.m.

We spent a final morning searching for Iberian Lynx but the tracks were as close as we came. Bah humbug. There was lots of game -- partridge, rabbit, and some kind of deer, including some males with great racks -- but the lynx couldn't be convinced to show itself.

Onward to Tarifa. It's windy as crap here, and a primary industry seems to be windsurfing schools. The weather report on Monday night said we'd see gusts of up to 50 miles per hour, and I'm sure we did, as I nearly got blown off my feet a couple of times. However, we did see tons of migrating raptors -- mostly Black Kites and Short-Toed Snake Eagles but also our first two Osprey, our first two Booted Eagles, and our first Hen and Montague Harriers. There were also better looks at Marsh Harrier.

My hat seems to have blown away. It went so quickly, and the wind was always so loud that I didn't even see it go.

The migration seemed to die out around 4:30, giving me a little time to get caught up with the thrilling trip report before dinner. I haven't mentioned meals here, but lunch starts at 1:30 and dinner starts at 8 or 8:30. Doesn't that cause some interesting dreams, eating so late all the time?
