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.

But that doesn’t mean no new content for you!  We wouldn’t leave you all sad and lonely an unattended.  Take a moment, or several, to check out these great videos from Web Visions 2010.  We’ve got Merlin Mann’s keynote, my interview with keynote speaker Luke Williams and “The Role of Community in Startups” panel with Scott Kveton, Jason Glaspey, Rick Turoczy and Josh Friedman.

Go ahead, watch away and I’ll give you something else to pour over next week.

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.

SLL Episode 154: 2009 Wrap-up and 2010 Predictions with Silicon Florist

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

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!

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.

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.

So we improvised.

Join us with Skyped in guest Rick as we chat about the big happenings of the Portland Tech scene in 2008 and then share our thoughts on the year to come.
