Ebook Production
I’ve produced for various purposes at different times. Click through for more information on each:
Project Gutenberg & Distributed Proofreaders
From about 2002-2008, I was heavily involved in public text preservation efforts with Project Gutenberg and the Distributed Proofreaders (username “caw”). Below are a few I’m particularly proud to have worked on.
A full list of the books I was involved in is available on this blog post.
Plucker Books
Before smartphones, “personal data assistants” (PDAs) like PalmPilot allowed people to download and read ebooks. Plucker was an open source reading app for PalmOS, and from about about 2001–2010, I co-owned a website that published free ebooks on Plucker. We produced close to 800 ebooks in Plucker format – a significant feat long before Kindle, iBooks, and other modern ebook vendors came along – and eventually sold the domain in 2010.

Podcasts & Panels
Mythgard Movie Club
From 2017-2019, I organized and hosted 16 panel discussions on various science fiction and fantasy films with the Mythgard Movie Club. Sessions were recorded and available on YouTube.
Kat & Curt’s TV Re-View
From May 2013 – February 2019, I co-hosted Kat & Curt’s TV Re-view, a podcast analyzing science fiction and fantasy television series on an episode-by-episode basis. All episodes are available on the usual podcasting platforms and via kctvreview.wordpress.com.
