Here are a few links to round out the year:

• Laura at Idealware wonders who will pay for Eben Moglen's first loaf of bread.
• Katrin at NTEN has a great roundup of end of the year posts from the nptech blogging crowd (I'm in it!)
• Beth describes hype cycles - good to think about in the Web 2.0 swirl.
• Michele Martin talks about building nonprofit networks - good info for me right now!
• OpenID is growing in popularity. It's probably time for me to get an i-name.
• The Queen does a podcast.
• VMWare releases a public beta of Fusion - which is the competitor to Paralells - the software that lets you run PC OSes on a Mac. I'll be trying it out to compare.
• Nick Carr gives us his top 10.
