In this first show for 2008 Laurel Papworth is handed the reigns to drive the show and brings a guest Ajay Ranipeta to have a chat. Ajay talks about Bio Informatics while as usual everyone else goes off on other interesting tangents. It’s all good info. and good fun though.

If any of you would like to do the same and bring a guest on the show and have a go at hosting, please send us an email - see contacts in the sidebar of the blog.

So, while I’ve been at wordcamp I see Mike has uploaded our latest
special edition Extraordinary Everyday Lives podcast that we recorded
in conjunction with Dave Gray from Global Geeks podcast.

What’s special about this podcast is it was recorded totally in Second Life.

Dave Gray has recently come into SL and he and I hit it off straight
away. We were both in a funny spot with our respective podcasts and we
discussed the possibility of collaborating on a joint show.

We discussed the various ideas of how to record and tested some
skype/sl combos, nothing seemed to work well.

I then hit on the idea that what we needed really was just a separate avatar who’s sole job would be to sit in SL and listen to the conversation while we used the voice feature of SL to host our joint show, outputting what the avatar acting as a mic was hearing straight to a recording device.

I filled my co-host, Mike, in on the idea and being the adventurous
guy who usually does the sound recording feckery on our EEL show, went
about creating another AV for the occasion and putting my idea in
action. Some test were done between Mike and I and away we went.

Dave Gray did a great job of pre and post production. The whole shebang was a great experience working in a collaborative and creative way to push innovation.

The experience was surreal and a hoot all in one.

You can d/l the show from the extraordinary everyday lives show podcast network website.

Cheers,

Dave

The latest EELS podcast is up. In it we welcome Kent as a new co-host.

EELS 32 - 24th August 2007 - Introducing kent

Interestingly, Chris Carfi, who we had on show #30, has posed a timely post on one of the topics we talk about on the latest show.

From his full post here :

quote from Debra Aho Williamson: “[Display advertising] is the ‘low-hanging fruit’ and the real potential of social networks has yet to be tapped.”

Yes, the latest edition of the show is up.

This is a long one, two hours. But rather than cut it up, please make use of your pause button.

Grab it and stick it in your ears.

The Extraordinary Everyday Lives Show #031 [Explicit]

This show we are joined again by guest Laurel Papworth, social network strategist from Sydney.

Laurel, Mike and I have a long discussion about social networks, the need for spaces where we can find the freedoms to be all who we are.

A lot of the talk also goes into aspects of closed and open communities, the need to erect gates both to ourselves and our communities, where that responsibility should lay and a lot of other interesting issues about how we relate as people online.

Facebook as the latest incarnation of the meme gets a fair bit of airplay.

Saw Cam from TPN was in SL. Thought I’d have a go at making a T-Shirt for SL TPN supporters.

So here’s my alter-ego wearing it.

It’s my first try so a bit frayed along the edges. Still, if you’re in SL, go grab yourself one from this SLURL

Christopher Carfi works for Cerado in California, who run the Haystack social networking service and writes The Social Customer Manifesto blog.

In this show, Mike and I talk to Chris about what is a social customer, what is a haystack and lotsa other goodness like how can women with long fingernails use the iPhone’s touch screen!

Yet another show from my latest concept of speaking to people I read in my blogroll and trying to deepen the conversation and connection.
