Digital film festival starts today, so guess what I'm gonna be doing instead of watching Enterprise? Yep, got ticket, gotta go. And go, and go, and go.

Thursday and Friday off work. Thought I'd be doing the digital festival, but it turns out their calendar sucks and everything is clustered on Saturday, which makes sense, but not quite the way their calendar lists it. Doing the XP launch thing Thursday. Hey, it's a free tee shirt. And rebate coupons.

MNSTF Halloween party Saturday, Minicon meeting Saturday, and digital film festival Saturday. Also wonderful panel at Southdale Library which I'm gonna miss because I'm at the digital film festival.

"People who like spices ... ..need to see this page. Really. I don't know if it has everything, but I checked some of my Weird Ethnic spices, and all of them were there.

All twenty-zillion different names. And the names of the species, the chemistry, the history of use, pictures, and anything else you might think of. And it takes real advantage of the medium--crosslinks galore.

Didn't you always wonder what the hell grains of paradise were?

Well, actually, I've known what grains of paradise wuz for a long time, found them I have not, tasted them I have not, nor cooked with them. I even think I identified one of the herbs Thong likes for spring rolls... well, maybe, Vietnamese Coriander (Polygonum odoratum Lour.)
