NOTE: Pardon the third-person writing (I feel like Bob Dole talking about Bob Dole ;-).

Raincity Studios' Community Evangelist Dave O riffs with Leo Laporte about do-it-yourself art and self publishing for personal, creative expression on the Lab with Leo TV show. Like old pals, they explore Dave's collection of ditto-ed newsletters, punk rock fanzines, gig handbills, well-traveled cassettes, and other projects while riffing about remixing ephemeral objects in digital art and participating in the new artistic renaissance.

I'm sad to hear that The Lab with Leo and Rogers network have parted ways, no new episodes will be recorded effective immediately. The remaining new episodes will be aired along with reruns but the show has stopped moving forward.

Lab with Leo is a technology show filmed in Vancouver. Hosted by the well known Leo Laporte with Matt Harris serving as producer of the show and has been working with Leo for 3 years.

Leo Laporte is well known on TV and from technology forums, a best-selling author of several gadget guides and technology almanacs as well as a TiVo guide. He also hosts The Tech Guy radio show and works on several podcasts on the TWiT.tv network, plus was a host on Call For Help and The Screen Savers.

Raincity's President Kris Krug has appeared on the show many times. He's covered topics like the Creative Commons licensing, Drupal, Facebook applications and more and recently filmed three more episodes covering the way bands are use content management systems as a way to power their new fan sites, growing open source Internet business in China, and the way corporate PR strategies have changed with new media.

About a month ago I went on the Leo Laporte show to discuss Creative Commons. Below is the video (holy crap it's already been watched online 1,600+ times!) . Since then I've also recorded sessions on Bryght and Facebook Apps but they haven't aired yet. I'll post them here when they do. Tomorrow I'm going back on the show (twice) to talk about 1) Social Software and Online Communities and 2) Protecting Your Privacy Online.

Posting this is a couple weeks overdue but I'm trying to play catchup and get my digital houses in order before embarking on Bryght World Tour 2007.




Also (Mom) here's a couple pics of me on the Lab with Leo set.
