I’ll be on stage at Under the Radar this afternoon between 3:00 and 3:30 at the conference center at Microsoft’s Mountain View campus. I’ve got another 6 minutes to show people what blist is all about. I did the rehearsal yesterday. The format of Under the Radar is a little like American Idol. I get up and sing for 6 minutes. Then a 3 or 4 person panel tells me how I did in front of a conference hall full of attendees.

Besides continuing to convey our message that blist is the world’s easiest database and the first online social database, I have a personal goal for my presentation today. After our launch at DEMO one commenter who saw the video of my presentation commented on ReadWriteWeb’s write-up of blist “That is one stiff fella.” So today, I’ll try to loosen up a bit and have some fun.

And after I’m done, I’m looking forward to Werner Vogels‘ fireside chat on the future of apps in the cloud. Werner’s an informative, engaging and entertaining speaker. I doubt anyone’s ever called him one stiff fella.
