In the picture above the God of Technical Innovation swoops in from stage right, bringing new possibilities for work and play to Technically Challenged Humanity.
Support for God has been provided by BloggerCon Angels including, left to right, Dave Winer, Chris Lydon, Dan Bricklin, and Bob Doyle.
Ready to take over when any gods get tired, the cool guy in a hot shirt is Feedster’s Scott Johnson.
I’d like to thank the Spirit of the Gift Economy,
Dan Bricklin for all the headshots and–er, excuse me, Michelangelo’s lawyers seem to have buzzed my cellphone…
Actual tech news from BloggerCon:
- Scott Johnson is prototyping a multi-blog feed that lets you look at, say, 5 candidate blogs in parallel.
- Erin Clerico (Weblogger) announced new virtual hosting for multiple blogs.
- Adam Curry–even cuter in person than his blog pix–created a Syncpod channel to put web audio into your iPod. He and Markserman–er, I mean, Kevin Marks–plan to do more with it.
- Chris Lydon and Bob Doyle just launched BlogRadio–check it out!

Not a new concept.

What, playing with the God-Adam image is not a new concept?
Oh, you mean the me-zine is showing blogs on one page, which isn’t (to me) the same idea as tracking feeds in parallel. I see lots of useful juice in the Feedster thing, especially to follow the interaction of rival voices.

Infinitely many, Frank, all dancing in parallel.

Well, now that you’ve done the Tech Gods, any plans to do the Babe Magnets?
