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.







these bird books are way too heavy for mere mortals to heft

I can't wear the new shoes this trip. They rub too much on the back of my ankle. I had this happen with other shoes before, but I can't remember what I did about it. I think I just had to take a long time to break them in.

I also lost the nifty $7 alarm clock watch that I got at Wally World. I've looked high and low, and I can only conclude that I last saw it in Quebec, so it's probably still there. Maybe it's the one who keeps sending me the "Welcome to Yahoo: Canada!" screens. So I had to go out and pick up a new one. This one is pink and cost $12 but it (I hope) does exactly the same thing as the other one, without the part where it casually strolls off into the sunset.

On a more positive note, I noticed today that I received a $100 incentive in one of my checking accounts. I got it for signing up to use the free Bill Pay and paying two bills. They were both to private individuals and apparently went to those individuals as paper checks rather than electronic deposits. One of the guys held his check for quite some while -- in fact, he didn't deposit it until after the promotion was over. I guess it counts anyway, since I sent it before the deadline, he just didn't choose to cash it. Actually, I'm not sure that any real choice was involved, as it turned out that he was out of town when I mailed it.

So anyway, yay, an unexpected $100 is always nice.

I also got two codes, for free photo books from Shutterfly, for writing a couple of reviews for Trip Advisor. I wonder if they'll actually give me both books?

The other lady is definitely sharing rooms with me in Bolivia, so that's $450 or so saved right there. I wonder if anyone sells a pomegranate martini at MIA. I might just invest in one.
