Columns

Time Machine
     Time Machine was a column for Amazing Stories in which I described the contents of a specific earlier issue of the magazine — and also described news events, popular entertainments, and social trends in effect during the month that issue was on the newsstands.
     Sadly, Amazing Stories went on hiatus after its March, 2005 issues. Time Machine columns I'd written up to that point included:

• Amazing Stories #606 (December 2004), pp 80-81, showcasing September 1939.
• Amazing Stories #607 (January, 2005), pp 80-81, showcasing January 1952.
• Amazing Stories #608 (February, 2005), pp 80-81, showcasing February 1984.
• Amazing Stories #609 (March, 2005, published in PDF format), pp 80-81, showcasing March 1933.

Documentation

CaveUT
     Documentation for Jeff Jacobson's CaveUT project, which allows groups and individuals to build immersive virtual reality Cave-style displays for a fraction of the usual cost. (Performed editing, restructuring, and formatting rather than principal writing on this project.)

Editing

Envoy (Published and Edited)
     A newsletter concerning Central Texas writers and booksellers. Published three issues from October 1994 to March 1995.

The F.A.C.T. Sheet (Edited)
     A newsletter showcasing the activities of the Fandom Association of Central Texas, a science fiction and fantasy fandom group (edited monthly issues from May 1996 to April 1997).
