About

A few things about me:

• I used to be a satirist at The Second City and on Canadian TV. Then I figured out that light entertainment was a piss-poor substitute for proper activism. So here we are.
• I still work the comedy racket from time to time — I’m currently directing Asiansploitation.
• I co-host a weekly podcast with Anthony Marco and Mike Vardy called DyscultureD. A lot of what we talk about is also relevant here, and vice versa.
• I’ve been blogging since early 2001; I’m currently collecting all content from previous blogs at www.andrewcurrie.ca

About the site:

Rather than write up a long blurb here I’ve made a manifesto of sorts from my first posts. You can read more about Oa’s four main areas of interest here:

• Free software
• Mobile phones
• Fair use
• Copyright reform
