		<title>The power of Linux</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This past spring I setup a new web server at our school using Ubuntu Linux Server version 10.04. I set it up as a LAMP server (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) to give me more options. Once I had done that (it took a couple of months because I was learning as I worked!), I was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been using my Dell Mini9 Netbook for about a year now and I really like it. It&#8217;s small, fast and convenient. One of the things I have come to really like is Ubuntu Linux. I like it so much I took an old 800 mHz Pentiium 4 that had been laying around in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sometimes you just can&#8217;t win</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One common complaint a school librarian hears from parents is, &#8220;We didn&#8217;t know the book was overdue.&#8221; This is most commonly heard, of course, at the end of the school year, when the school office informs the student that he or she will not be receiving a yearbook until all unpaid school fees and fines [...]]]></description>

		<title>My new &#8220;netbook&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Netbooks are now popping up everywhere. The Asus Eee is at Target, and Costco has the Acer Aspire One. I bought my Dell Inspiron 901 (Mini 9) online at dell.com. Besides selecting a brand, the two big decisions one needs to make are the operating system you want, and whether you prefer a hard drive [...]]]></description>

		<title>A new social networking site for school librarians</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Social networking software (ie. My Space, Facebook) has taken a giant leap forward with the advent of Ning.com. Ning is much more than just another social networking site. It is a tool anyone can use to create their own social networking site. The National Education Association has a caucus for school librarians called the Library, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Asus Eee Ultra Mini PC</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Two of my colleagues at work are excited about this new computer. It is either a mini laptop or a souped up PDA. Mark already has one and it is TINY. The screen is only 7&#8243; (800&#215;480) and the keys are &#8220;chiclet&#8221; size. It has USB, VGA, and SD Card ports along with built-in WiFi. [...]]]></description>

		<title>A new Web 2.0 tool</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been using the social bookmarking tool Del.icio.us for some time to save and tag web pages and highly recommend it. This new tool, clipmarks, allows one to save, tag, mail, and blog just those portions of a web page (including pictures and video) that one chooses. Like del.icio.us, clipmarks also has a browser [...]]]></description>

		<title>AASL 2007 in Reno</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On October 24 -27, I attended the National Conference for the American Association of School Librarians. Several school librarians from Utah attended for the first time because it was &#8220;close by.&#8221; It was, hmmm, how do I say this&#8230;.., FANTASTIC!!! I am now convinced that every school librarian needs to join this organization and attend [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thank you Madeleine!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just heard on National Public Radio that author Madeleine L&#8217;Engle passed away Thursday at the age of 88. When I was a seventh grade English teacher, we read &#8220;A Wrinkle in Time&#8221; every year. It stimulated the kids imaginations, sparked some great classroom conversations, and I never grew tired of reading it again and [...]]]></description>
