• Tim won't sue Tom! Yay! Happy puppies and cake! [O'Reilly Radar]
• Oh wait shit Tom's pissed! "Is it just me or are they still not getting it?" asks Tom in a post titled "O'Reilly's mean-spirited response." He explains: "They are asking us to sign a document saying we won't hold any future events with the term Web 2.0 in the title." [Tom Raftery]
• I have written "Tom" for "Tim" and "Tim" for "Tom" seven times and had to fix it. GET NEW NAMES.
• O'Reilly has more tech heavyweights on his embarrassing Techmeme discussion page than he's ever had at his conferences. (Hint: Hover on "Discussion" and hit "+".) [Techmeme]

After the jump, more things that have happened.

• Macromedia founder Marc Canter has spoken from the hazy depths of his offices (Marc, your offices smell GOOD!) and turned from crazy old uncle to wise old uncle: Gee, he wonders, why hasn't activist Cory Doctorow added this to his mega-stream of IP-related Boing Boing articles? Surely it has NOTHING to do with Cory and Tim's friendship! COULDN'T BE. (Also: Marc wins award for awesomest illustrative photo.) [Broadband Mechanics]
• Update: Cory speaks — without swears, vitriol, or exclamation marks. It's like seeing Bill O'Reilly act like Garrison Keillor. [Boing Boing]
• Another Buddy-O-Reilly's, Boing Boing band manager John Battelle, will not comment until he talks to Tim. Nope, he will NOT take sides til he hears both. Wouldn't be fair.
• BUT-I'M-ON-TIM'S-SIDE-K-THX-BYE. [John Battelle]
• Thomas Hawk says it with pictures. [Thomas Hawk]
• Hawk updates: "First off I probably should not be calling Tim O'Reilly an asshole." [Thomas Hawk]
• Shel Israel has an entire naked conversation with himself but manages to say nothing. [Naked Conversations]
• Michael Arrington holds a Web 2.0 Party. Next up: Why Michael Arrington can kick Tim O'Reilly's ass. [TechCrunch]

"Tim O'Reilly needs to muzzle his lawyers immediately and respond publicly, personally and immediately to the situation, because I sense that a lynching is about to occur in the blogosphere." — TechCrunch's Michael Arrington, CrunchNotes

"This just has to be one of those bone-headed things lawyers do when no one is looking. If it isn't, than I would predict that O'Reilly has just put himself on the fast track to reputation implosion." — Shel Israel, Naked Conversations

Et après eux, le déluge.

O'Reilly trademarks "Web 2.0″ and sets lawyers on IT@Cork! [IT@Cork]

Nathan Tyler's hotness is like a force of perpetual motion, and this causes him to be difficult to photograph. One time Nathan Tyler's hotness made Richard Avedon's light meter explode. He's that hot.

Openwag earns a promotion in Marissa Mayer's not-so-open office:

She works her ass off despite the multiple hundy millions and still remains very accessible. The person moaning above sounds like they just got a crappy annual review.

Kyle Bunch swears he only makes deals at T.G.I.F.'s in Om Malik blows up SF's best cafes:

Chili's is the new golf course. It's where business happens.

Nathan Weinberg crushes our hopes in Niniane the Google blogger:

Actually, she's got a long-term boyfriend. Starting dating him when he was a Google intern. Its all in the blog.

Stowe Boyd scares us all in Tech pundits getting naked: a worrisome trend:

I am willing to strip down. For a price. A big price.

And Spastic Colon scares the homeless in the same entry:

Shel's bear suit could warm quite a few homeless in San Francisco.

Scripting.com's Dave Winer (right) gets hot with, from left, Douglas Rushkoff, unkown, and Mark Hurst. Justin Hall was cruelly edited out of this sauna pic.

Robert Scoble to Shel Israel: "Keep grinning for the camera, baby, and our royalty checks will keep getting fatter."

Chris Pirillo rents out the last ad-free space on earth. His partner Ponzi must be thrilled.

Geeks of the world! Please keep your shirts on! But if you don't, send photos to tips@valleywag.com.

By the way, one of the Blogher bloggers intends to go topless soon, according to her colleagues. Which leaves Valleywag with an ethical question: do we run the photo on the blog?

Or do we charge you $50 to see it?

Someone's been playing with Comic Life. A Flickr user named "Privateye" 'shopped up the shirtless shot of Naked Conversations authors Robert Scoble and Shel Israel. (That's JD Lasica's photo, first covered back here.)

After the jump, a comic made entirely of Riya Photo Search in-jokes.

For everyone who doesn't get it, Riya evangelist Tara Hunt is dating Flock evangelist Chris Messina. Apparently they're going all-raw-food. Riya's a pre-release person-recognition photo tool; Flock's a pre-release social browser. Marc Canter is the founder of Macromedia (and a strawberry).

Update: "Privateye" cracks a Larry Page hair joke.

Robert Scoble and Shel Israel bared it all at the Naked Conversations book launch. But they're not the first tech pundits to strip down. Lockergnome's Chris Pirillo runs a lovely little side business called "Rent My Chest," writing messages on his torso for $20 a pop.

So three makes a trend, and the world wonders: who will strip down next? Mike Arrington? Stowe Boyd? Dave Winer?

Geeking out: TechCrunch Meetup 5 [Valleywag]

Over 400 people at the Arrington Ranch, gateway to the Valley. Mike Arrington stuffed all of Web 2.0 into his ranch for the fifth TechCrunch meetup. The night's excuse to drink major event was the launch of Robert Scoble and Shel Israel's book, Naked Conversations.

Mike covered the event on TechCrunch, but here's the Valleywag shallow version, with photos from Scott Beale (thanks Scott!).

Forget the state of the blogosphere, cutie. Technorati's Dave Sifry wants to know the state of you.

Sean Savage doesn't go to parties. Sean Savage goes to very organized flash mobs.

Kevin Burton gets you drunk, after the jump.

Dogster's Ted Rheingold discovers unspeakable horrors in Mike's fridge.

"Sell it...sell that...that too...heard bad things about that founder, sell it. Yes, of course I'm talking about my Alexadex holdings."

"I'm Shel Israel, and I wrote this book too."

"Dear Mike, enjoy the book! Sincerely, Shel. Shel Israel. I co-wrote the book."

Robert Scoble: "Heh, some guy put his name here too."

Mike Arrington: "I'd like to congratulate Robert Scoble and...that...whoever that co-writer was."

Technorati's Tantek Celik to PubSub's Salim Ismail: "Yep, still beating you at tracking 'brrreeeport.'"

Here, have a sixth drink, and reconsider buying Kevin Burton's company.

Bonus commentary: Flick through the Flickr set for Kevin Burton's snappy comments.
