That is one hairy tall man. And hairy - Michael W. May via twhirl

He will get swallowed whole...like a gnat in your mouth in the summertime. - Kristasphere

the bigger they are... the harder they fall... - Canada's Web Shop

He'll struggle "Four-time heavyweight champion Holyfield boasts a record of 42 wins and 27 KOs with nine defeats - four of which have come in the last six years - while Valuev has 49 wins and 34 KOs with one defeat." - Tai

Evander has to stop this.... - Live4Soccer

When is the last time we saw someone die in the ring? - xero

How many children did Holyfield eat today? I rest my case. - Christopher Harley

I have a feeling, if he survives, Holyfield may be taking on George Foreman...selling kitchen appliances. - April Russo

Holyfield in his prime is my all time favorite boxer. It's sad to watch him continue like this. - Mark Krynsky

Crazy. David Haye is my man to keep an eye on in a very lightweight heavyweight division. - Toby Graham

a trained, pro boxer knows how to parry and feign, slip, duck and move. in other words, i'm sure Holyfield is getting 7 figures+ for this bout and even if he's sure to lose he'll get a considerable payday for the effort, and walk away without [hopefully] permanent damage. then again, Valuev is a big hairy mofo. - grant

10 years ago (or even better, 15) Holyfield would have destroyed Valuev. It would be just like Holyfield v Foreman (but much more hair). - Joe Fernandez

Wonder how long it would take to wax Valuev? I'm just sayin... - Kristasphere

I've seen Valuev fight. He is just big. No skill. His appeal has exclusively been that circus freak appeal. Just look at the picture Zee posted of his fighting John Ruiz. Looks fake. Valuev looks like a giant from the Lord of the Rings or something. - Rolf Schewe

it's a freak show... - .LAG

haha... is it one-bog or L-bog? either way, terrible. - Mike Kogelman

iBog? Boogy monster! - Mohomed=genieyclo

I just realized Americans might not get this. Bog is UK/ Australian slang for toilet or shit. As in "I need to go to the bog" - Duncan Riley

Duncan, they also would never get IRoot. - Jerry Schuman

I'll be there. - Justin Korn

It's a pretty quite night... - Justin Korn

I'm there - anna

bumping to get a headcount. right now we're 4. any other takers? if not, i'll supply enough beer for everyone!! :) - Jeremy Toeman

I'll probably be there closer to 4pm. See you then. Looking forward to meeting Anna and Mike! - Justin Korn

Jeremy, I enjoyed hearing you on the Social Media Club panel on 10/21. I like the FF meet idea, but will not be able to get to SF from Berkeley today, due to other commitments. Keep posting, I'll try to come in the future!:-) - Cathryn Hrudicka

@Justin/others - turns out I have a meeting until almost 4pm as it is, so let's assume that's the earliest y'all should arrive!! :) - Jeremy Toeman

Still confirmed :) so close to me too! - anna

Jeremy, I'd like to take you up on the rooftop gathering... - ishak

btw - the "tomorrow" is now today, Friday, 4pm. - Jeremy Toeman

what's the addy? - anna

anna - 735 Montgomery St. #300 - Justin Korn

thnx - anna

btw - we have a couple of sixpacks (and some wine) at the office, but we won't turn down any add'l donations! :) - Jeremy Toeman

heading over! - anna

on my way with a snack... - Justin Korn

I'm gonna pick something up on the way, also famished. Bringing champagne (it's what's for dinner). - anna

It's such a nice day... I wish I was there too. If you guys are still there around 6:30ish, call / email me please! - Mona N.

@mona we probably will be!! i'll write a note here when we leave... - Jeremy Toeman

Where at? - Jesse Hattabaugh

Jesse, the address is above. - Justin Korn

I wanna go. But I'm in LA. :( - Anika Malone

What Anika said. - Derrick

Ishak, Justin Korn, adam metz all here already! it's a parTAY! - Jeremy Toeman

Anna's here now too!! - Jeremy Toeman

If only I was in the Bay Area tomorrow. Have fun - Jeff B

Yes. Insanely jealous how Bay Area peeps can just get together. - Anika Malone

i'll be there, u guys still there? i'm on California/Kearny - adolfo foronda

still here, Mike Doeff showed up too. we RULE. (btw - if you can't get in, just leave a comment here or email me, we'll get ya in. or you can yell really loud!) - Jeremy Toeman

walking up the hill to save the car from early bird parking price jack, you guys gonna be there? - adolfo foronda

we're pretty sure there's nobody at the door anymore, so you'll need to comment here/email us and someone can come let you in! - Jeremy Toeman

sorry guys i circled the area, it's a mad house down there could not find parking so bailed. next time i'm in for sure. - adolfo foronda

The difference between taxable revenue and gross is the real hangup on this. I thought anyone who ran their own business was well versed in the gross vs net concept, but the confusion on this makes me think otherwise. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

I would LOVE to be able to offer my employees (including myself) health care. It attracts a higher quality of employee. But right now, it costs too much and truly is a pain in the ass. As your company looks to cut overhead, your health insurance isn't guaranteed (unless you were savvy during the hiring process) and could be gone tomorrow. BTW, here in coastal SC, we already have a state managed insurance system to fill the gaps for homes that can't get coverage: http://www.doi.sc.gov/faqs/win... - Paul Reynolds

I wish Obama would have pointed out that the $250K is Adjusted Gross Income, not Gross income. Most businesses have significant write offs, so you would have to have a much higher gross income to see any tax increase. - Jeff P. Henderson

Trust me, unless you are making real money in a business you are writing off so many deductions that any changes to the tax code, other than those that affect what you can write off are miniscule to the average business person. That's the whole point of owning a business....the write offs. Anyone who is saying differently needs a better tax specialist. - Alex Scoble CISSP

Tina, I'm afraid the ultimate problem is most of us at times, myself included, aren't well versed on the issues or accusations and we just parrot what we hear other people say. But when it comes to plain ole' common sense and thinking before speaking, I'm truly flabbergasted by some folks. - Paul Reynolds

Wait. What's this about the capital gains tax being cut? Neither candidate is going to do that. It'll go up under Obama. - Morton Fox

I got all into the tax stuff today, and here http://friendfeed.com/e/c41643... is a chart (the second one) that shows some good numbers for those on the 250k cusp. Those at the 100-200k range account for more itemized deductions than any other group (even the 1M and over filers). - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

Exactly. If you structure your business as such, you can have a decent salary for yourself, car paid for, utilities paid, etc. But the business itself barely makes a profit. - Paul Reynolds

Paul, the gent that used to own the company I work with has a Lambo, a BMW M6, and 5 motorcycles. All are company vehicles... He claimed an income of 30k last year... - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

Morton, you're right. It's not a cut. It just won't be raised for <$250K income earners. There will be a raise (back to where it used to be) for >$250K. - Paul Reynolds

I use them for different purposes anyway - Ian May

I think something like this would be great: http://friendfeed.com/search?q..., but it's bust. Realtime also doesn't work on the public freed right now (which is what Twitter search does, effectively) - Louis Gray

Bingo! Nice blog post Louis! FF will need to beef up their search to match twitters (summize's) capabilities. Yep, I called the new Real Time feature "NOISE ON STEROIDS" today within minutes of trying it out http://friendfeed.com/e/d81fda... This noise is difficult to glean from...search will greatly enhance it - Susan Beebe (Santa Claus)

@ thomas in iran near Tabriz northwest of iran . - Arash

Looks like you were at high altitude. There are some amazing mountains in that part of the world. - Thomas Brox Røst

yes i love this place . i don't know how to take a really good picture, just want to share what i saw. - Arash

very nice - Cee Bee

sigh. Where's that Un-Like button when you need it? :D What is it w/ everyone throwing the word hate around all of a sudden? Or has it been flung here and there and I just wasn't paying attention? Good morning, Alex! I hope you have a great day. - pea♥ fierce as a woozle

Ok but I don't believe you have exclusive rights ;) - Cains

I have no idea Pea, but apparently I've been "hating" on my brother...so I made this post. Like it or "hate" it, it's your choice. :) - Alex Scoble CISSP

I'm sorry hate is a harsh word and really shouldn't be used. Dislike is a better term, IMHO. - Molly, the Merry Maker

Alex has been drinking Haterade. - Akiva Moskovitz

Well, duh. Y'all are siblings. Was someone out there not aware of this rule? - Yolanda

Now, now. See, I didn't say I hated it. I said I wanted to Un-Like it. Fine distinction but not the same nonetheless. heh. - pea♥ fierce as a woozle

And I'm with Yolanda on this one. Other people don't really get to pass judgement on how you and your brother(s) interact. Like we have any idea what that dynamic is like? - pea♥ fierce as a woozle

How the heck does one "dislike" on someone else...that's like Chewbacca being in this thread...it doesn't make sense. - Alex Scoble CISSP

All I did was tell him to stop running around like chicken little screaming about how the world is coming to an end and do what he does best, which is find the cool stuff being done out there. - Alex Scoble CISSP

Now yer hatin' on Wookies... Jeez-Louise, Alex! Where does it end with you? - Mark VandenBerg

Wait. That's the comment that's causing people to say you're hating on him? Seriously? Interesting. People are much kindler and gentler than I've been led to believe on the internets! Look! A bunny! There. All better. But more importantly, are you having a great day? I hope so. - pea♥ fierce as a woozle

I'm awake and have to go to work, so not yet. :) - Alex Scoble CISSP

now please someone use the word haterade - Nathan Rein

Akiva already did, Nathan. :) - Yolanda

Hate is only bad when you mean it. Hating On someone is not as extreme. I mean, anybody can just brush off haters - ♫ Rahsheen ™ ★

What I dislike about how easily people use the word hate, Rasheen, is that people don't seem to use the word love just as easily. Yes, it's just a word until you give it meaning but given that there are other words that serve the same purpose but aren't as off putting, why make that our go to word to express our dissatisfaction with something? Better to save it for when it really makes an impact. - pea♥ fierce as a woozle

Ther is a wookie in this thread? ;-) - Mathew A. Koeneker

I don't know about a Wookie but I'm pretty sure I saw an Ewok. They'll just let anyone onto the webs nowadays it seems like. - pea♥ fierce as a woozle

Love is a much more powerful word than hate, Pea. - Alex Scoble CISSP

This for real? - Roberto Bonini

Yes, Roberto...I really do reserve the right to "hate" on my brother at any time. - Alex Scoble CISSP

Yay! Was it you, Jay? Yay for Jay (can't check because it's suddenly leapt to 101...) - WorldofHiglet

And now it's 102. Yay! - Jill, Superhero Librarian

I looked over when I joined and it said 100. So maybe. - "Oldengrey" Tannenbaum

I kind of see GetSatisfaction as the "Disqus" of web 2.0 apps. One login gives you bitch rights to hundreds of different web sites. I don't mind that. - Phil Glockner

I've seen that at a lot of places. It's really a pretty good service for getting feedback and help with issues - Lindsey

@Lindsey and @Phil - I guess I see your point, but with Disqus, if I don't have an account, I can still leave a comment. That is not the case with GetSatisfaction. - Justin Korn

I agree Justin. It puts up a barrier for users to get feedback and ideas to a company. One they should reconsider - Lindsey

Agreed. I like GS a lot, but there should be an easy, anonymous feedback mechanism as well. - drs650

It doesn't even need to be anonymous, allow me to provide my name, email and website (if necessary) and be done with it. - Justin Korn

You can submit a bug directly on the socialmedian site - Jason Goldberg

This is so funny i have to comment on it. Before we had a box on the socialmedian site to submit feature requests and we got a ton of user feedback that we should switch to something like Get Satisfaction so users could collaborate on requests. Then, we move to GetSat, and we have users who want the opposite. Can't win :-( Anyway, for now we are finding the GetSat approach to be better. You can still send us a note directly by clicking the "report a bug" link on the bottom of every page. - Jason Goldberg

Hey Jason - Thanks for chiming in. To be honest, it's not you guys (I realized) that I am annoyed with, it is GetSatisfaction. They should allow someone to provide feedback without creating an account. I'll submit my feedback through the bug report option for now if you'd like. - Justin Korn

Orli wins. The rest of us should go back to our normal boring selves. - ha3rvey

butt-dialing - anna

I do that about once a week - my brother got really mad at me when he thought I was calling him, and it turned out to be an accident. :) - drs650

pantsed yarr - Michael J. Cohen (mjc)

Ditto on calling it butt-dialing - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

Know what's funnier? I copied Drew Olanoff on this e-mail, so now he has my FriendFeed API Key. Oops. Time to change it! - Louis Gray

So thats why ther a keylock on it!! - Roberto Bonini

LOL louis - Michael J. Cohen (mjc)

I used to get called from an ex- part of the problem when your name starts with "A" - anna

Love it! This is now in my Top 5 Uses For FriendFeed list. :-D - Lisa L. Seifert

I love these . . . I listen to every second :) - Lindsey

Lindsey: I listen too!! I'm always hoping for the funny moment when they realize they've been pocket dialing. - Lisa L. Seifert

oh man, i hate those. actually i lost a friend over that. i was ranting about a lady in the doctors's office with the same name as a friend. friend got 4 min. message from me talking about "that f'in bitch flora' and thought i was talking about her. and anna, both me and hubby start we 'a', we get those calls all the time. we tell people to put a dummy number in. - Anika Malone

This has happened to me as well. This is why I always keep my phone LOCKED! - Mike Fruchter

I wish we had Visual Voicemail here haha. :( - Andrew Trinh
