If you are, then you could potentially work for Bear McCreary, who wrote the theme to the new(er)
Battlestar Galactica and its spin-off
Caprica.
He's looking for a web designer to design a site for The Battlestar Galactica Orchestra.
I gotta hand it to the man for his cleverness. There are likely web designer rabid fans out there who would happily clean Bear McCreary's car with their tongue for a chance to have their name attached with any aspect of the franchise (hopefully they have some talent). I'm sure there will be a cyberspace line to help Mr. McCreary design his site and he doesn't have to pay a dime.
On the other hand, the winner of the contest gets some pretty cool one-of-a-kind
Battlestar Galactica merchandise (including the baton from the
BSG concert McCreary be conducting), so maybe everybody wins. If you want to create that clever idea of an entire orchestra of Cylon Centurions, now's your chance.

A panel I almost skipped turned out to be better than I think a lot of people thought was the 20th anniversary
Battlestar Galactica panel. I think most people are holding out for the official
BSG panel later in the 'Con, but I was glad I was able to sit in for at least most of this panel before I had to run to the next one.
In attendance: Richard Hatch, Tom DeSanto, Bear McCreary and Dr. Kevin Grazier.

This is pretty cool. Apparently, Bear McCreary, the composer for
Battlestar Galactica, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and many other films and television series,
performed a concert of some of his music at The Roxy. Two segments from the concert were placed on his blog. The concerts were televised on
G4. Wasn't that channel supposed to be about video games?
Bear McCreary himself has an interesting blog in which he discusses the business of making music for the video entertainment industry. The music has always been a major part of the dark undertones of
Battlestar Galactica; it serves the story very well and is a vital part of the telling.
There are two videos after the jump of the Roxy concert. They include pieces called "Roslin and Adama" and "Fight Night". Admittedly, I can't place the
Galactica episodes in which they were played. If anyone can, please let me know in the comments.
