As we close in on the end of one year and the beginning of the next party plans are being made which usually includes the drinking of copious amounts of alcohol while we dance the night away - well for some anyway.

For me and my wife it will be another quiet night of enjoying each other’s company and watching a good movie or two.

Company Cultures :: Alfred Thompson - a very interesting post about multiple cultures within a corporation rather than the typical thought of it being mono-culture.

Adobe Spying On Its Customers :: Techdirt - a heads up for all those Adobe CS3 users out there about how you are now a part of a data stream being feed to a behavioral analytics company called Omniture - whether you like it or not.

How Pursuing Software Piracy Hurts Proprietary Software Firms :: Techdirt - another good post from Mike Masnick at Techdirt about how BSA and SIIA are actually hurting the very software companies they are suppose to be protecting from piracy.

Dave Winer: Creator of Worlds! :: Eye on Winer - EOW is having a great time dissecting the hot air that is being blown around Dave’s newest innovation (also here, here and here)
