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!

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!

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.

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?

Return of Don Park

CamiKaos — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 18:01:23 +0000

Friday night we were joined in SLL studio by Don Park, better known to many of you as @donpdonp. He gave us a rundown on what he’s doing on Jyte for AboutUs and then got us up to date on some interesting developments in the Portland Android scene and a few apps he’s working on (Specifically Swip Swap and Taplister) before scaring the hell out of Cami with talk of barely there feeling shoes and foot high-fives. Plus the rise and fall of twitter in Don’s life and why he thinks Google Buzz will take over!

Oh and he may have mentioned a little film project by the name of Solid Liquid Air.

Check out the show to find out more!

SLL Episode 161: The Return of Don Park

This week on a very special Strange Love Live we show you some never before aired footage of what happens when the SLL crew take’s over a room in Pete Grillo’s house during his annual party. Join me with my co-host for the evening Rick Turoczy and too many fabulous guests to mention. Oh the drama. Oh the mystery. Oh the intrigue. Oh… the sausage. Join us Friday night at 10 PM, right here at strangelovelive.com!

How about that Producer Morgan? She joined us for her third episode of Strange Love Live and we couldn’t be happier!

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.

Locketman

CamiKaos — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 21:20:25 +0000

Friday night we were joined in studio by Scott McCarty and the entire Locket2You team. While we chatted with Scott on the couch Miranda and MeaganKate kept everything in check from the sidelines.

During the Tech Edition we talked about the business end of Locket2You. Where, When Why and How they built their handmade jewelry company and used Twitter and other social internet tools to strengthen it and get the word out.

But afterhours was a whole different thing. A schtick was prepared a month ago and carried out in the first half of Afterhours, then there were the custom drinks I made for the occasion: The Locket, The Pocket, The Rocket and Big Purple. With the skit (featuring the voice talent of MeaganKate and Miranda) and drinks out of the way we got back to the business of afterhours and chatted our hour away.

Tune in Friday night at 10 PM for an evening of music and a dash of tech with Duo Chronicles‘ John Nastos and Clay Giberson.

With the holiday season fast approaching, you may have noticed we’re doing things a bit differently around SLL. We wanted to start celebrating early which is why this week we featured Locket2You (a great holiday gift solution, I’m just sayin) and next week we’ll be featuring some fantastic music with John and Clay. Then we’ll move on to gadgets with Brian M. Westbrook which will satisfy your craving for tech and give you a peek into what’s hot and techie for the holidays. Staying with that good for the holidays theme we’ll also be joined by Foodgeeks (get some holiday menu ideas) and Simler (because you need a new site to play on with all that Holiday downtime) in early December.

We’ll Round out the year with 30 Hour Day, a livestream telethon the likes of which the world has never seen, A Kaos family Christmas with my daddy, Daddy Kaos. Then we’ll kick off the new year with a review of 2009 and predictions for 2010 with Rick Turoczy. As you can see we’ve got a full plate for the next couple of months, I hope you’ll come along for the ride.

When CamiKaos & DrNormal Talk…

CamiKaos — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 18:02:26 +0000

Yesterday we gave a talk on Podcasting at WordCamp Portland. We thought it might be a good idea to do what we know so we (and by we I mean he) compiled a video to show the evolution of Strange Love Live in the last two years. It played at the beginning of our talk, before we started babbling. Enjoy!

Our talk was lived streamed and will be available to view #WCPDX dust settles

WordcampPdx 2009, Urban Airship and PIE

CamiKaos — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 19:19:51 +0000

Last Monday night we had a chance to sit down and catch up with Scott Kveton of Urban Airship and Jason Glaspey at PIE. We recorded our 30 minute chat just for you (we’re nice like that) and so this week we have a bonus Tech Edition of SLL for you to enjoy.

When we originally schedule Friday’s guest, Aaron Hockley, it was a strategic move. We decided months ago to schedule the episode a week after ticket sales for the 2nd Wordcamp Portland opened thinking that it would be perfect timing. Ticket sales would already be under way but there would still be plenty of room for those hearing about the event on the show to sign up.

Oh boy were we wrong. By the time Aaron and Dale joined us in studio people were already signing up on the wait list.

Join us for the Tech Edition and Afterhours to learn more about WordCamp Portland.

Next Friday night join us on the stream at 10 PM while we talk with Dieselboi of Food Carts Portland. Food is something near and dear to all our hearts and stomachs so I know it’ll be an interesting night as we find out more about how Food Carts Portland is covering Portland’s thriving food cart scene.

A Good Problem to Have

CamiKaos — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 20:10:02 +0000

There’s been so much happening in Portland lately that we find our show schedule packed full of wonderful guests, so what happens when something cool comes up that we want to share with you and we can’t find a Friday night to fit it in?

This week we had just such a problem, we wanted to sit down and talk with Scott Kveton about Urban Airship and Jason Glaspey about PIE and we had an opportunity to do so in the Portland Incubator Experiment space Monday evening. We recorded our 30 minutes chat just for you (we’re nice like that) and we’ll be streaming it at 9:30 tonight before we’re joined live by Aaron Hockley and Dale Chumbley to talk about WordCamp Portland and the Word Camp phenomenon.

So join us tonight at 9:30 for the bonus episode before things go into Friday night business as usual.

Turoczy and the Tiara of Truth

CamiKaos — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 06:17:31 +0000

It would have been much easier and probably more appropriate for me to call this post “The Silicon Florist Turns 2″ or “SiliFlo’s 2!!!” or something all nice and harmless but that wouldn’t be me. Instead I’m going to fixate on that one little thing that made the night completely silly. Rick wearing a tiara. I probably wouldn’t mention it except that he happily donned it and wore it for 45 minutes without a moment of argument.

Join us on Friday’s Tech Edition where we talk to Rick about the Silicon Florist’s first two years. Get all nostalgic as we talk of topics past and swell with hope as we talk about what will be. Then there was cake.

Watch the Tech Edition

Then it was on to afterhours. I’ll be honest babies, we put our all into making this funny and ridiculous but maybe we just weren’t in the right head space for it. After an impression by Doc and a little silliness with Rick we were back to a serious conversation. It was a good afterhours session and I feel like some good topics were addressed, I just hope you can take it seriously while Rick is wearing a yellow plastic pearl and jewel encrusted tiara. We liked it so much it may show up on the show again.

We’re back with another live episode next Friday with guest Aaron Hockley who’ll be talking about the upcoming WordCamp Portland. It’s sure to be a great event and I’m not just saying that because I’m friends with the organizer, or because I’ll be giving a talk on podcasting, or because last year’s was awesome. I’m saying that because that’s what you say when you’re promoting a show that will be promoting a conference… but that doesn’t make it any less true. Join us live at 10 PM Friday August 14th to get in on the fun!

If you want to attend WordCamp Portland (September 19th and 20th) and haven’t registered yet, you may want to do so. As of the time this is posted there are only 64 tickets available. Go here to register.

Dude, Where’s My Newspaper?

CamiKaos — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 00:21:06 +0000

On a Saturday morning in the brick and mortar home of an ink and print newspaper about 100 people will gather. Some of them will be journalists, some bloggers and some lurkers. They’ll all have one important thing in common, the desire to see how the news medium is evolving in the digital age.

Digital Journalism Camp, organized by Abraham Hyatt, is a first time effort in Portland. The about section of the camp’s site says:

This isn’t about bloggers vs. reporters, or old media vs. new media. We’re all on the same team. And this conference is about how we, as journalists, are innovating right now — what’s working, what’s not, and how we can get better at what we do.

We couldn’t resist the chance to talk to Abraham about the upcoming camp so we pulled him into the studio to find out more about what we can expect. Listen to the Tech Edition to find out more about it, including some of the panels and talks scheduled. In afterhours we talk more broadly about newspapers, news shows and news on the internet.

To register for Digital Journalism Camp you just have to RSVP on upcoming. There’s no cost to attend and a wealth of knowledge to be gained. See you there?

Friday July 31st we’ll be joined by the oh so lovely KL Martini. She’s away at BlogHer right now soaking up info like a sponge, we’ll see how much of that knowledge we can wring out of her when she arrives on our couch to give us her BlogHer recap. Join us at 10pm!

**** 7/26/09 Edited to add:

Did I forget one very very important note? Yes I sure did. We pre-recorded this episode and without the wonderful @verso it wouldn’t have aired Friday night because Doc and I were out having a good time. Kelly, that you SOOOOO very much for coming all the way over to roll our show and find bubbling kitchen messes!
