Ok, I may be misremembering.

Cameron –

I just want to congratulate you on a very solid Classifieds post!

[Zach Matthews]

Nathan –

That first one especially is a really fine photo.

Hey guys –

R.L. Winston has a beautiful new website; they just unveiled it over at winstonrods.com.

I have always admired the branding and ad savvy of Winston more than any other company.  Something about their look is just very appealing.

Zach

Zach,

I love Winston rods! I also love that the spent the bucks to get a great visual appearance that conveys the right message to their target audience. Nicely done! The only thing that I was surprised at was they have a blank Title Tag on their home page.

Hey Michael –

This is from the DeCoverly website:

“Their appearance should be of good English Setter type and be as close to show appearance as they can be without giving up ANY field performance. Physically, the standard is an elegant, efficient athlete with a structure that allows a setter to hunt all day in demanding terrain and conditions.”

There’s a whole discussion of the ‘dual’ Setter here:

Ok, Kyle, I have to apologize to you, because that was completely hilarious and it went right over my head.

Thanks to another board member for pointing it out, too.

Hey Tim –

You should check out Tom Bie’s podcast interview; he addresses that.

[Zach Matthews]

Guys –

This is a family site.

[Zach Matthews]

Kyle –

Huh?

[Zach Matthews]

Hey Henry –

Great shots; it’s always interesting to me to see more of the ‘real’ way people fish in different parts of the world.

[Zach Matthews]

Hey Mike –

The permit and redfish are great, but we *most definitely* do not have a ‘Newbie protocol’ here.

[Zach Matthews]

Hey guys –

Yes, I was talking about the Mirage.

[Zach Matthews]

They buried this in the speech a bit, but there’s now an emulator for the iPhone OS that you can run on a regular Mac.

[Zach Matthews]

My first impressions are the same as yours.

[Zach Matthews]

Yeah, I’m watching.

[Zach Matthews]

Pretty much everyone is expecting Apple to unveil a new tablet Mac this week, which will probably be great for Macheads and irrelevant for everyone else.

However, I think there’s going to be a much more substantial announcement hidden amongst the hoopla: an iTunes-style store for online magazines.  The major publishers (Conde Nast, etc.) have been not-so-secretly working with Apple to develop a set of guidelines for sizes, pricing, pixel density–all the things you need to make a high quality magazine (Esquire-quality; I’m not talking about ThisisFly, though they will benefit too) and then render it on a digital device.

I predict that by 2013 we’ll be getting most of our magazines just like a lot of you get the podcast.  (10,000+ of you, evidently, based on the Loomis podcast).  When that happens, we may see a reversal of the slide in editorial jobs and revenues and a general stabilization of the mass bloodletting that’s been going on behind closed doors in the last two years in the publishing industry.  I certainly hope so.

Zach

Zach, FYI… Apple iPad is here!  😀

Gary –

By ACF I assume you mean Appalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint?

[Zach Matthews]

Abe –

That’s a good question.

[Zach Matthews]

Hey guys –

I’ve seen Orvis’ prototypes for their next saltwater reel, and they are really sweet.
