It does indeed have a noun form, which was used correctly in this instance. You can have a a myriad (a great number) of things. Others can be myriad. Both usages are correct. No need to grumble over the noun form. I assume you subscribe to the adjective-only definition of myriad. It does indeed have a noun form, which was used correctly in this instance.

Substitute the word "innumerable" as a test. "So here’s to all of the innumerable of wonderfully geeky ways we find it." That doesn't make any sense. "Myriad of" is commonly written by those who aren't linguistics nerds. Check the examples on dictionary.com. Er, what I was saying is that "myriad of" is wrong.
