Ale to the Chief: White House Beer Recipe

By Sam Kass With public excitement about White House beer fermenting such a buzz, we decided we better hop right to it. Inspired by home brewers from across the country, last year President Obama bought a home brewing kit for the kitchen. After the few first drafts we landed on some great recipes that came from a local brew shop. We received some tips from a couple of home brewers who work in the White House who helped us amend it and make it our own. As far as we know the White House Honey Brown Ale is the first alcohol brewed or distilled on the White House grounds.

Since our first batch of White House Honey Brown Ale we've added the Honey Porter and have gone even further to add a Honey Blonde this past summer. If you want a behind the scenes look at our home-brewing process, this video offers some proof. So without any further ado, America – this one's for you: JabbR. Backbone patterns.

Blogging Basics 101: Learning by Observing Scott Hanselman

His major complaint was that he found himself often facing “writer’s block”, a factor that has led to his discontinuation of the blog. Now, I do not consider myself an expert in this field and, as usual, when I need to find out about anything, I look to those who excel in that field. One such person in the world of weblogs is Scott Hanselman. You can find out a lot about him at his website. It just so happens that I am among the many thousands that “follow” Scott on Twitter and have over the years benefitted from the advice he gives in his blog posts.

A new launcher While the shell scripts got us this far, it's time to bid them farewell and move to a much more robust and useable jar-based launcher. A new mode Previously, the playground included only the Instarepl - a live code evaluation editor that showed you how values were flowing through - but in the latest release it gets a new mode: the "Table". Once connected to a project, you can explore the namespaces in your project with the namespace browser.

One of the things we're really excited about testing out is the notion of a "Code Document. " Arguably the most important thing to ensure in Light Table is the ability to very quickly try things and be connected to the programs you're writing. A new double click experience for Clojure.
