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?

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?

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:

This Friday we’ll be joined live in studio by Nate Angell and Randy Thorton.  You can meet us here at 10 PM February 5th. Okay?  Okay.

In the Tech Edition we talked with the guys about everything that’s gone into getting Simler up and running (and awesome) in such a short period of time.  To find out more check it out:

And then there was afterhours. We sat. We talked. We drank some wine and dropped a few profanities here and there. Dane showed us his ring, Nate stopped pretending to be me and I do believe a good time was had by all.  I just hope they’re allowed to come back and play again some time.

So last week we were joined by horror author Jemiah Jefferson.  During the Tech edition we talked about her 4 novels, where she gets her inspiration and the kind of literary vampire she loves (and hates)…

We’re trying something a little different with Afterhours to see how we like it.  We’ve decided to cut our late segment to 30ish minutes to make it more consumable for you.  Let us know what you think?  As for the content, it’s the same as ever.  We had so much to talk to Jemiah about that we didn’t get anywhere near all of it in.  For a change I’m going to tell you some of the things we sadly did NOT get a chance to discuss: What exactly we’ve been doing in the last 11-13 years since we last saw each other, Carnivale, tattoos, comic books and old friends that she probably doesn’t know were listening to the show.

Next Friday join us live at 10 PM with the “Locket Man” of twitter, Scott McCarty of Locket2You.  You may think he’s just a maker and pusher of really cool lockets but oh no…  he’s a wicked smart ass using technology to earn a living and support his lovely family.  Let’s find out more about Scott and what he has in store for these crazy internet times…  then we’ll see what kind of trouble we can get into for afterhours.  We may or may not have been planning a shtick for months now.  Let’s hope it doesn’t suck.

Enjoy the Tech Edition where we pick Steven’s brain and find out all we can about Wiki, their past, present and future.

We’re cooking up something special for this week’s episode of SLL but we don’t have all the details nailed down quite yet.  As soon as I know exactly what to tell you I’ll let you in on our plans.
