I am really honored to be among the awesome panelists selected by Michael Geist for his video contest C-61 in 61 seconds. The goal is to create videos raising awareness of the many flaws with bill C-61, commonly referred to as the Canadian DMCA act. The last time they tried to ram this idea down our throats was the subject of the last Galacticast we released, so you know the issue is near and dear to my heart.

Casey and I were interviewed by the LaPresse. To my embarassment, I am quoted heavily and seem to have inspired the title of the article. Here’s the original and the translated.

Why it’s me!

Hello again, interweb. We’ve already have had many conversations you and I, through Galacticast, or Twitter, or Facebook. But let’s start another one right here. One about me and the world I live in.

For those who don’t me, I’m Rudy Jahchan, co-creator and executive producer of popular internet shows GALACTICAST, A COMICBOOK ORANGE, and KITKAST. Writing, directing, editing, special effecting on a weekly basis out of my apartment with nothing but the rocketboom kit; a digital camera, a green construction, a few lights, and two computers.

But that’s not all. I am an avid coder, extending WordPress to deliver the content in the way I want, using the killer services of blip.tv, flickr, and feedburner. Oh, and all of this while holding down a day job directing software development.

Yes, I am the Cylon God.

Actually, I am simply the man behind the scenes of some interesting projects. But recent events have made me decide its time to step out of the shadows.

That’s a lie. Recent events have actually made me decide its time to change my life.

So I want to document those changes, and the glorious successes they will assuredly bring. Not just as a promotional tool, or as scrapbook to look back on decades (centuries?) from now, but as a way to return to doing what I love to do; share and learn awesome things.

What’s next? Galacticast will finish Season 2.0 with a couple more episodes until X-Mas, and start planning Season 3.0. I have a seekrit project in ze werks, and hopefully things will move fast enough I can tell you about it without jinxing it. I am hitting the gym again, to tone up. And more.

Hope you stick around.

P.S. – Big thanks to Lan Bui for my awesome new headshot I am using across all of my sites. The man and his brother Vu are talented lense masters. Reach out and say hi.
