"Happy Holi" or I mean "Links of the day" ... or maybe "Recipe of the day"

First Happy Holi!
While taking a quick look at Holi celebrations there was a mention of drinks for the festival and from there I went to Bang and from there to Boza (then Kvass and a few others).

Boza, a fermented malt drink popular in the are of the former Ottoman empire. It's thick and sweet with an acidic taste ,  or so I've read and It's aften flavoured with cinamon etc.

Even though it's fermented it's considered a softdrink with only about 1% alcohol.
It's seems relatively easy to make and is ready in a day.

So sounds like it's worth a try.

Link of The Day - DIY projects

Some pretty ambitious DIY projects including: matt boxes, follow, focus systems, rigs dollies & more.
The projects range in difficulty from opening up a lens removing parts and reassembling it (to 'Declick' it) to drilling a hole in your lens cap to make a 'pin hole' lens.

I'm not really a DIY person. I like that other people do it, I reading about it but when it comes to me doing it, it's just not for me.
The pin hole lens cap looks pretty easy & I'd like to try some pinhole shots. I could do that, but I probably won't.
I f your a DIY'er (is that a word?) it's worth a worth a look.
