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.

a warming trend, maybe

The peachfronts just went back outside. Poor babies. They were good and quiet about their winter stay, but they were starting to get a bit ragged from their temporary cages. Even though they're larger and nicer than the old ones...but I can't remember a winter when they had to spend so much time indoors. Right now, they're back in their flights kinda blinking their eyes and making a low purr and wondering where the heck they are.

They finally opened the Causeway again, and DH was able to come home last night and fix all the devices that had been smited by God or sleet or the polar vertex. The monitor, the modem, the internet, the Kindle...they all seem to be working now. Knock on wood.

The phone is a bigger hassle. It had to be fixed by human engineering -- AKA yelling -- and now that it's back on, I'm in the process of finding and changing the phone number on all the accounts that use a phone number to let you log in or to verify your identity. Ugh. It's quite the ordeal.

Google sent me a coupon to buy some mp3 albums for 99cents. Of course most of the albums on the list that I wanted I wouldn't have waited all these years and beers to buy if I liked them to begin with. However, believe it or not, I never heard all of Pretty Hate Machine before, so I got that. Also I don't think I ever heard Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain before at all. I don't know how it got by me. It's brilliant.

Also Astral Weeks, which I'm listening to right now. I know perfectly well how that one got by me. They overplayed Van Morrison's greatest hit about a million times back in the day, and I just got to the point where you can shoot me now Tupelo Honey. But now I think enough time has passed that I can appreciate him.

A helicopter just went over. One went over yesterday at the same time. I figured it was looking for storm damage. Today I have my doubts.

later

Philly the PHL snowy owl has been killed by a cargo plane. The D.C. owl has been hit by a bus although I think it will survive since they're just reporting a broken toe. What a world. Is there no place for magic?
