A techie marketing scenester fills in the deets on Steve Gillmor's somnolent speech (Steve's computer nodded off) at the ongoing Syndicate conference. He tosses in a bonus warning about Macromedia founder Marc Canter (pictured here at another conference).

Gillmor really did put everyone to sleep. If it wasn't for Marc Canter screaming, it would have been a total nappy time.

Just don't get your arms and legs too close to Uncle Marc... he's been known to bite. Him, Dave Winer, Steve Gillmor... All like your crazy uncle the grown-ups found embarassing but the kids loved cause it made Thanksgiving all the more enjoyable.
