On to technical matters.  If DrNormal ever posted to the blog that he had me set up for him he’d tell you all sorts of behind the scene technical tidbits and goodies.  But he doesn’t.  This week there’s something he really wants you to know before you listen to the audio podcasts and since I’m a saint I agreed to take a few moments and tell you that starting this week the audio episodes will be released at a higher quality.  That means the files are twice the size they used to be, but he swears that it’s worth it because the sound quality is at least twice as good.

Now on with the shows:

SLL Episode 100: Troy Harlan & Sam Alexander from Vidoop

After we posted these episodes we learned some unfortunate Vidoop news.  Our thoughts are with all of those effected.  Rick at the Silicon Florist has a good post on the topic.  Despite the bad timing, we’d like to thank Troy and Sam for an excellent Tech Edition of Strange Love Live.

During the “Tech Edition” we were lucky enough to talk to Amber Case who instrumented the whole shebang.  We kept her around during Afterhours and then brought on Cyborg Camp Speakers Bill DeRouchey, Lia Hollander and Ward Cunningham.  We also snatched up a few moments with  Bram Pitoyo, the man behind @cyborgcamp on twitter.  As if that wasn’t enough fun to pack into an episode of SLL we managed to lure Will Norris, Alain Bloch and Scott Kveton onto the couch as well.

There’s one last person I want to call attention to before you listen to the latest episode.  He wasn’t a guest on the show but I assure you the Cyborg Camp Pre-Party episode would not have been possible without the talents of Joe Christensen of Blaze Streaming Media.  Not only was he there every step of the way with Dr Normal to get stuff up two flights of stairs and set up, he also brought a brand new level of video delight to the show with 3 camera angles.  If you want to watch the video you can see it on our ustream channel.

SLL Episode 61: Amber Case &: Cyborg Camp

SLL Episode 62: Afterhours at the Cyborg Camp Pre-Party!

On a side note, I have to show you my favorite image from the episode/ party.  Our fab guest Amber Case took it and I really think it speaks for it’s self.

You can listen to the shows here, download them, subscribe or pick us up on iTunes so you can always be the first to know when we’ve released a new episode…

Join us Friday December 12th at 10 PM on ustream with guest dieselboi who’s going to teach us a thing or 10 about beer, and bring in some of his own home brew!  Once we’ve imbibed a bit and moved on to Afterhous I’ll be sure to ask him about neon, blogging and the city we all love, Portland.
