When a Door Closes...
Saturday, 29 September 2007
A window opens.  A few days ago, I got a call from my friend Chi-Lan Lieu , a correspondent for CW Now.  She needed an ‘expert’ to talk about HDTV’s, so bright and early (woke up at 4:45 AM for a 7:00 AM call time) on Thursday we shot the segment.  HDTV lingo is really techie stuff and I always thought the industry has done a terrible job explaining it to the masses.  All that 720p/1080i/1080p stuff gets confusing.  This was my chance to explain it for the average consumer.  I might have still been too nerdy in the story…what can I say?  Anyhow, it airs Sunday, September 30th at 7 PM on the CW.

It was really cool working with Chi-Lan again, even if was only for a couple hours.  It also felt great working with a broadcast crew again with the full setup.  Camera, audio, producers, a monitor...a location!  A boom mic (haven't seen one of those forever).  In the run and gun world of Internet television, we all have to wear many hats and a seemingly simple thing like filming in a store takes lots of approvals and time to prepare.  A simple thing like filming at the beach requires permits in many areas of Los Angeles.  Even showing the Hollywood sign costs money.  Anyhow...it feels great to be on television again though it's only for a few minutes.

outside us.
Good to hear. 
Is there anyway for us outside the US to watch it?

re: outside us.
It looks like CW Now puts some stuff online, so maybe it'll be put there? Otherwise, it's a US only show.

Congrats Hahn. Hopefully this will be the start of something BIG. You deserve it! I was a long time InDigital viewer. Can't wait to see what you do next!

Hahn, 
 
I just wanted to say thanks for inDigital. I watched from episode 1, and thought it was just great. The last episode came as a shock to me, but I had to stop by and express my gratitude for you and the show, and tell you that I think you did a great job. I really wish you all the best in the future and hope to see you in a new podcast at some point in the future! 
 
Thanks again!

Dag I missed it! I'm patiently waiting for it to be on youtube. Seems CW is doing lots of new media-esque things with so much online content. Maybe a home for Hahn?

Yay
Good luck man, I thought you were awesome in In Digital and think its a sad loss to revision 3.  
 
I'm now only going to be watching that for Pixel Perfect.. but that looks to be hitting a wall now.  
 
Thanks for all the work you did. Absolute legend that you are.

Yay
Hope things are going well, Hahn. I checked out the first two episodes of TekZilla and man, DOES THAT SHOW SUCK. I couldn't believe how poor both shows were. It's nothing like inDigital and frankly, I don't see how it ever could be in its current form. Canceling inDigital made no sense; TekZilla is no replacement at all. TekZilla feels 8 parts entertainment, 2 part tech, blech. Swiping Jim L. may help Rev3 put out shows on a more regular basis, but I have real doubts about the quality content, now. 
 
Patrick is a cool guy, but he tries way too hard to be "cool" and "funny" and it tends to get old really fast. Every show needs a straight man and Hahn, you were it! Argh! His chemistry with Jessica isn't there (yet?), either.  
 
Can't wait to see your next project(s)! 
 
Cya bro!

Goodbye Hello
I was sad to see the end of InDigital... it was one of my fave podcasts.  
 
But now I'm looking forward to what you're going to do next! 
 
Take care and good luck!

Wow
:sigh what can i say? i definitely dislike the fact that you were basically given your "walkin papers" i guess that's what happens when the man comes down. I have been a loyal viewer downloading and viewing your shows multiple times; yes multiple times. Something about the chemistry that keeps ya hooked and informed. I'm certain with your knowledge you will find a "home" and get the credit that you deserve. your efforts will pay off. GOOD LUCK

Hahn, count me as another viewer sad from the end of Indigital. It was one of my favorite podcasts. I've always found your presentation style to be calm, informative, and sincere... and easy enough for even non-techies to understand. I'm looking forward to your next project! Good luck!
