		<description><![CDATA[I recently picked up Programming Clojure and started working through it, trying to wrap my head around this new variant of Lisp.
Installing clojure itself was pretty simple (sudo apt-get install clojure, since I&#8217;m using Ubuntu), but I had a hard time figuring out how to make the clojure contrib libraries available from the clojure REPL [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few months ago, when Apple bought Lala.com, I didn&#8217;t panic. I thought Apple&#8217;d integrate Lala.com&#8217;s store into iTunes, rebrand the site, and keep things rolling.
I was wrong:
Dear Ron T.,
The Lala service will be shut down on May 31st.
In appreciation of your support over the last five years, you will receive a credit in the [...]]]></description>

If you don&#8217;t already know, Just a Geek is Wil&#8217;s book about his shift from being &#8220;That Guy Who Used to be on Star Trek&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<guid isPermaLink="false">http://mindbat.com/?p=154</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[In Drupal, the Imagefield fieldtype comes with a built-in thumbnail generator. If you&#8217;d like to control the size of the thumbnail, just set the value of the imagefield_thumb_size variable, like so:
variable_set('imagefield_thumb_size', '200x200');
That&#8217;ll set the imagefield thumbnail size to 200 x 200 pixels.

What Will Change Radically:

Ebooks. In 2009 they really started taking off. With the release of Apple&#8217;s Tablet, the Nook finally appearing in stores, and Borders launching their own reader/ebook service, the world of publishing will finally start lurching into the 21st century.
The OS Wars. With the release of Google&#8217;s Chrome OS [...]]]></description>
