As we sat in the studio with Steven Walling of AboutUs Friday night I was amazed at the number of zingers he was able to throw in. I’m not going to quote any of them… but I can tell you that he delivered more than one line that caused Dr Normal to make a note so he could add something Steven said to a “best of” reel for later…

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

Then stay tuned for Afterhours where we continue the Wiki talk, ask some questions from the twitter audience and do that afterhours babble that we do so well.

Sometimes you happen upon something that gives you a little bit of a shiver down your spine, on Friday night we had the chance to talk to someone who is working on a project that does just that. We were joined in studio by Michelle Anderson (known to many of you as mediaChick) author of The Miracle in July and her lovely assistant Meagan Kate (MeaganKate to you) to talk about Michelle’s latest project. It’s not a blog. It’s an experience. Check out the Tech Edition and learn about the story and some of the multi-media technology she’s using to make the whole thing come together.

And then there was Afterhours. It was one of those nights that saw us derail in odd directions. Dr Normal had his skit, Meagan Kate did a reading, Michelle announced some fun stuff, I insisted it was time to break out the Helmut Cam and the studio audience… well they were a little wild.

If you’ve been keeping up with The Miracle in July as Michelle releases each new segment then surely you know that she released the last piece of Act One this morning. If you haven’t already, go read it now. Or you can start from the beginning.

This week DrNormal and I are prepping to give a talk on podcasting at WordCamp Portland. We’ll be playing a lovely encore episode of Strange Love Live for you on Friday night at 10 but you can find us on the #WCPDX livestream on Saturday. Joe from Blaze Streaming Media will be there all day Saturday and Sunday to bring you everything he can point a camera at. Enjoy!

Friday night we were joined in studio by Josh Bancroft and Jerry Makare to talk about Intel Software Network TV. It was a a good little chat and a great deal of fun to see them with the tables turned. Normally they’re on the other side of the camera producing the shows. Find out more about what they’re working on and how it got started:

And then there was afterhours. For a content free hour I’ve never had so many topics I wanted to tackle. With two guys on the couch with such varied interests it was hard to decide where to start, so we just dove in. Listen in as we talk about tattoos, chickens, Timbers, shoes, iPhone apps and a few other things too.

On this week’s Strange Love Live Tech Edition we take a little stretch out of the hard and fast tech world and peek into the creative industry side of things talking with Steve Gehlen and Tad Lukasik about The Portland Creative Conference. Find out more about the conference, why it went away for so many years and what it’s taking to get it back on track.

And now, onto the Afterhours. We often try to steer afterhours in a more light hearted direction, but shows tend to take their own course and that happened in this time as we talked with Steve and Tad about different parts of the creative community, the challenges it’s facing, competition with other cities and their thoughts on some of the tech groups and communities here in Portland.

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.

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.

What a horrible obnoxious pun.  I can’t believe I’m starting with that title.  I can’t believe I keep typing and it’s not the delete key that my fingers are tapping.  Well it’s done now, best to just move on and try to redeem this post by sharing with you episodes that were truly a pleasure to record.

Friday night we were back in our own studio for the first time in weeks and joined by guest Tyler Sticka.  He was one of those guests that we could have talked with on any number of subjects but for the Tech Edition we kept mostly to iconography, social media and cartooning.  We easily could have filled 90 minutes of content with just one of those topics but as always we moved on and talked about a few other things and briefly pulled Peter Wooley onto the couch as well.  Then it was back to comic books, internet, music and much more.  Enjoy!

It was all breaking news in the Strange Love studio Friday night as we were joined by Nyco Herzog and Christine Kistner to talk about a brand new labor of love, Weekly Access!  What’s that, you ask?  Well if you listen to the show you’ll find out that we’re launching a new podcast soon!  It won’t feature Dr Normal and myself, rather it will be put on by Nyco & Christine.  You’ll have to listen to the show to find out what Weekly Access is going to be about, I’m not giving it all away.

Then make sure to listen to afterhours for even more breaking news… Like who really is the rightful owner of those sunglasses Doc wears in all his photographs, what’s that on his hat and what exactly is in “The Shiny”.

The lovelies at StrangeLove Live have been gracious enough to invite me to be a guest on their show this Friday evening.  I’m so excited.  Guess what the topic is?  BEER!  And Beer brewing.  See, I dabble in a little homebrew, beer tasting, giving pub crawls around town and am even in a beer judging class, so essentially, I’m a beer guy.

The format will be to go live at 10pm with the lovely hosts Cami Kaos and Dr. Normal and be seriously  discussing all things beer.  We will even be doing some tasting of my own personal homebrews – Wizardboots’ Mayhem (an American Strong Ale,) Montana St. Super IPA (8oz of hops,) and Homegrown Ale (made with hops grown in my front yard.)  We may even have some other styles to try in order for the hosts and studio audience to get a feel of what’s out there.  Then after hours, all bets are off.  There may even be some caroling.

So, come on out and watch StrangeLove Live on Friday night @10pm.
