My biggest fear *IS* Sallie Mae. - Derrick
Weird. Why are they asking such questions? - Paul Buchheit
It's one of their security questions. The others aren't so bad: favorite band, first street you lived on, etc. - Benjamin Golub via IM
Seriously? Their security questions are starting to get metaphysical? - Victor Ganata
Deflation? - Chris White
Sallie Mae can suck it. They have a whole bunch of my money. - Michelle Martinez
I hate Sallie Mae. I can't wait tell I have that last little bit of loan that they wouldn't transfer paid off in a few months. - mathew, up and down
I work for nelnet, aka Sallie Mae's competition, and I feel for you guys!! I paid off my Sallie Mae loans a few years ago and it was SUCH a relief!!!1 - Susan Beebe
It will be a good day when I don't have to fork over cash to Sallie Mae - Steve

Seen in Sausalito at the end of a pier. - Benjamin Golub via Bookmarklet
Yeah, that place struck me as odd. Saw it while on a cruise. - Jauder Ho
Whoa, that is really odd placement, but I *love* that building, very cool. Plus you've got great weather there...congrats! - Susan Beebe

“We're going to see the fireworks in San Francisco tonight; should we drive? Where should we park?”
December 31 at 6:58 pm - Link
From where to where? Generally, it's better to avoid driving in the city on big holidays. - Paul Buchheit
Where are you coming from? I wouldn't try to drive down to the Embarcadero. Any kids in tow? If I were coming in from the penninsula I'd think seriously about parking at Daly City BART and taking the train down to the waterfront. - Ken Sheppardson
If you *were* going to drive up from the south, I'd probably hop off 101 at Army, shoot east to 3rd, then head up to the lots on 3rd just south of the ballpark. - Ken Sheppardson
OK, FF guys... how did Paul's comment sneak in there before mine? How in the world are timestamps on comments determined? Is the comment given the same timestamp as when I loaded the page, or clicked 'Post'? There's a topic on this over at http://friendfeed.com/e/54ce80... - Ken Sheppardson
When you start the site, you get to be first on anything you comment on. ;) I keed of course. - Erica Baker
Benjamin, if you are near downtown, probably better to take a cab or one of the street cars down market. Muni is free tonight and running often, I believe. - Chris White
Thanks everyone; we're going to take cabs around instead I think. - Benjamin Golub
Cool. Hope it's not too foggy :-/ Happy New Year! (btw, I think I figured out the comment thing... nevermind ;-) - Ken Sheppardson
From my back yard we'll watch SF, Marin, Napa, and Vallejo fireworks--so...c'mon over! - Rob Michael
The Hong Kong and Sydney fireworks looked awesome: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... - Chris White
Did you get to see glowing clouds? - Gabe
Gabe, fireworks start at midnight, I think (about 40 minutes from now) - Chris White
Chris, I assume that Benjamin would not be FriendFeeding until the fireworks were over. - Gabe
Man ... You guys are late - Charlie Anzman
actually the fireworks showed up just fine - j1m
We didn't end up seeing them. We were stuffed after dinner (at Farallon) so planned to head back to the apartment and try to watch from the street but ended up falling asleep around 11:30 and waking up again at 1, still had a great night. - Benjamin Golub
