30 Hour Day Take 2

CamiKaos — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 16:37:57 +0000

As I type this up we’re 6 hours and 40 minutes out of starting 30 Hour Day 2, a 30 hour live streaming telethon. It’s not just an excuse to get up and prance around on camera at in varied states of wakefulness though, it’s a chance for us to raise funds and visibility for some amazing charities: p:ear, The Oregon Food Bank and The Oregon Trail Chapter of the American Red Cross.

This time around not only will we have some amazing acts (you really should check out the schedule) but we’ll also be recording episodes of Strange Love Live on location and Dr. Normal’s Crazy Talk. We also have an iPhone app this time around, lovingly created for us by Bryan Enigma (who will be one of the guests and SLL tonight).

You can go to 30hourday.org or just watch the live stream that I’ve conviently embedded for you below.

Yeah, I’m thoughtful like that.

Meeting With Mayor Sam Adams… Again

CamiKaos — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 20:18:49 +0000

Thursday morning in all the hustle and bustle at Open Source Bridge we had a chance to sit down with Portland’s Mayor, Sam Adams, after his keynote speech. Since we didn’t do a live show this week, it seemed like a good idea to share with you the interview I had with him, and the keynote he delivered directly before it.

Enjoy!

WebVisions 2010 Panel: Reinventing the Podcast

CamiKaos — Mon, 24 May 2010 18:53:03 +0000

Last week SLL Productions had the pleasure of being a part of WebVisions 2010 at the Oregon Convention Center. We had our hands full dealing with the stage in the exhibit hall, but that wasn’t the only trick we had up our sleeves.

Friday morning I moderated a panel on podcasting and new media. It was great experience to get to chat with Josh Bancroft, Robert Wagner, Aaron Weiss and Alex Williams for an hour, and luckily Dr Normal was there to catch the whole thing on camera and now you can check it out too.

I’ll update this with some additional information when I have time to collect and make sense of it all, but for now, I hope you enjoy.

or if you prefer you can listen to it here.

Hey babies, I know we’ve been a little off schedule with episodes of Strange Love Live as of late, but we’re not calling it quits. We have some changes to make and some new idea to incorporate. We’ll be back soon.

Sausagefest 4

CamiKaos — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 23:58:29 +0000

Friday night we had a little bit of fun with the format as we brought you some footage from an exceptionally fun night we had with good friend of the show, and of ours, Pete Grillo. Each year Pete holds a party lovingly called Sausagefest where he gathers his friends and the finest sausages he can find in the greater Portland Metro area. Add a dash of booze and accordion players and you have a night not to be missed. This year I counted myself as especially lucky to not only be invited to the party, but invited to bring the cameras and mics along for the ride.

I had a fantastic time recording with my co-host Rick Turoczy, Producer Dr. Normal and production crew Morganpdx and Nate DiNiro. Thanks to the hospitality of our host and all his wonderful guests we had a great night and some fun footage to bring to all of you. Enjoy!

SLL Episode 162: Sausagefest 4

But wait… there’s more! We at SLL love our friends and so when we had the chance to talk to Jason Glaspey and Scott Kveton yet again, of course we took it. But after a long night of interviewing it was decided that maybe Rick and I should have the tables turned. We were shuffled off to the couch while Jason and Scott were given a chance to have a little interview show of their own.

SLL Episode 163: The Jason Glaspey Show from Sausagefest 4

Because I do like it when a plan comes together, this week on the show we’ll be joined by Jason Glaspey. We’ll be talking about about Paleo Plan, I’ll ask about a book he’s working on and then I’m sure we can find another thing or ten to chat about. Heck, maybe he can help me with my SXSW planning. Tune in Friday night at 10 PM right here and see what kind of trouble we can get into.

Psst.. Hey you over there. Yeah you! Can I let you in on a couple of secrets? You can subscribe to our videocast on itunes. And if you’re just an audiophile you can subscribe to the audiocast too.

Oh, just one more thing, you may have noticed we’re only doing a single hour long episode now. It’s totally by design but we find that at the end of 60 minutes the guests are still a little chatty so often we keep the livestream going once we’ve stopped recording. The only way for you to see that footage is to join us live on Friday nights! See you then?

Opening Education with Nate Angell and Randy Thornton

CamiKaos — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 16:49:42 +0000

Friday night we welcomed, for a third time, Nate Angell, and for the first time Randy Thornton of rSmart to talk about the Open Education movement and Open Source. Join us for an entertaining hour of open ranting, martinis and even a little movie talk.

And no. They didn’t convince me to see Avatar.

SLL Episode 159: Nate Angell and Randy Thornton on Open Education

Make sure to tune in this Friday night at 10 PM as we’re joined by Cort Webber and Bobby “Fatboy” Roberts of the Cort and Fatboy show! Likely topics are their new home at pdx.fm, movies, geekery, Portland and the fact that they’re just too pretty for radio. As always you can watch the show live right here. See you then?

Getting Animated with Christine Kistner

CamiKaos — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 04:23:29 +0000

Tequila!

Oh wait, no… that’s not how I meant to start this post. I’m supposed to tell you that Friday night we were joined in studio by the lovely Christine Kistner. We started with a talk about motion graphics and her love of the field and then quickly moved onto Beer & Blog, Portlandy goodness and then…

Tequila! Yes we talked about her love of Tequaila too. She gave us a few pointers on which tequilas are best for what use and then gave me a brief rundown on the process she uses to infuse tequila. Though oddly? We were drinking fruity rum drinks that night.

Take a peek (or a listen) to 158th episode of Strange Love Live:

The Guests Speak for Themselves

CamiKaos — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 06:03:10 +0000

With this final little look back, we at Strange Love Live are ready to say a fond farewell to 2009 (we knew you well) and take a big leap into 2010. Take a glimpse at all the guests that made SLL great over the last year. I can’t wait to share with you all that 2010 has to offer.

Join us live Friday January 29th with guest Christine Kistner for a chat about motion graphics and everyone’s favorite Portland social hour Beer & Blog. We’ll be right here on the site waiting anxiously for you to tune in!

CES Recap with Brian M. Westrbook

CamiKaos — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 20:13:23 +0000

Friday night we were joined by friend of the show Brian M. Westbrook. In his 4th appearance on SLL we talked about his trip to the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show. It was big as ever and he came back with some new insight and a few new gadgets to share with us. When all the gadget fun was had, we got the chance to chat and laugh talking about people, places and things near and dear to the Portland experience.

Enjoy!

SLL Episode 156: Brian M. Westbrook and SES 2010

This early part of 2010 has us ironing out a few details as we prepare for what’s to come from Strange Love Live in 2010. This Friday night we’ll have an encore presentation for you rather than a live show, but we’ll be back with all new shows starting Januray 29th. You can join us then as we talk to Christine Kistner at 10 PM.

Glancing Back: 2009 with Rick Turoczy

CamiKaos — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 05:49:34 +0000

I love recording every episode of Strange Love Live. There’s something magical about sitting in my chair on a Friday night and getting the chance to pick someones brain. Learn something. Garner some knowledge that I wouldn’t other wise have access to. That being said, not all episodes are equal. There are a few times that I get a little extra spring in my step just before show time.

Our January 1st episode with Rick Turoczy of Silicon Florist was just one such occasion.

We at Strange Love Live are honored to work with Rick on a regular basis and through the last year he’s become a friend, not just of the show, but of ours as well. We planned to have him join us for a year end recap months ago. Before we began recording memePDX with him and long before he and I conspired to create 30 Hour Day.

My point is, when we asked him to make a tradition of his year end recap with us, we were thinking that would be that. He’d come do the show, share an overview of 2009, make a few predictions for 2010 and we would call it a night. We didn’t think that the first 45 minutes of the show would, for us, take second stage to the announcements that we made in the last 15 minutes of this episode.

So watch or listen to this latest episode of strange love live full of recaps, predictions and announcements. I hope it manages to bring some of the joy we took in recording it, to you.

Here’s wishing you and yours the very best that 2010 has to offer. See you back here soon?

Nostradamus Has Nothing On You!

CamiKaos — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 23:04:56 +0000

Friday night (and the first day of 2010) is coming fast. This last week of the year is flying by and I don’t want to miss my chance to remind you that Friday night we’ll be joined by Rick Turoczy (yes yes, that Rick… the one from Silicon Florist… and the one we record memePDX with… yes yes… The one from 30 Hour Day. Same guy).

We’ll take some time to reflect on all that happened in our little corner of the world in 2009, but we don’t want to look back for too long or we’ll miss all the things that are coming in 2010. There will be tears (no there won’t). There will be laughter (at least I hope so). There are a couple of very special things we want to tell you. And there will be predictions for the year to come!

And that’s why I’m writing this to you! It’s my sincere hope that the predictions won’t just be coming from Mike, Rick and I. We want YOUR predictions to! What’s going to happen in 2010? In Tech? In Portland? In our crazy little scene? In the world? We want to know!

You can tell us one of two ways:

Send me an email at strangelovelive@gmail.com with the subject: 2010 Predictions and we’ll read it on the air!

-OR-

You can leave Rick a message at 503 662 2564 and we’ll play it on the air!

That seems easy, right? Now get on it, times a wasting.

Then join us right here, live at 10 PM Friday January 1, 2010!
