• Textbook Prices: I Protest! – or – A Brief History of Modern Philosophy

  
  Crooked Timber — Authority: 640
  I hereby declare – for the benefit of anyone at Oxford UP who might be reading – that I was going to require my (probably 50-or-so) students next semester to buy your serviceable little paperback volumes: Woolhouse’s The Empiricists and Cottingham’s The Rationalists . I assigned them when I last ...

• Fly Tying (Pinch Loop Technique….Stop Materials Rollover)

  
  SwittersB & Fly Fishing — Authority: 138
  This is a nice looking little midge emerger I tied. Size 18. But, do you see the flaw? No, not the thread body that is bumpy from too large a thread (8/0)…the tail. Do you see how it is rolled over on the far side of the hook rather than on top of the shank? When you pinch the material between your thumb and ...

• International Fly Tying Symposium

  
  Creek Addict — Authority: 117
  I took a trip to the International Fly Tying Symposium on Saturday. Saw some great flies, met some great tiers, and picked up some new materials. I probably should have taken more pictures, and interviewed a few of the famous tiers, but I’m just not into those shows. Personally, I’d rather be fishing. I’m not ...

• Whitetails in Montana

  
  Montana Fly Fishing, reports, weather, photography, conservations news, commentary... — Authority: 104
  I’m really not much of a big game hunter and definitely not a horn or trophy hunter. My idea of hunting is much more culinary in nature, shoot the first legal size animal that comes along that’s in good shape and head home to more pressing (fishing type) matters. Pretty much opposite my approach to [...]

  F-Default — Authority: 542
        On paper, the Core i9 might not sound that exciting: It’s a lot like the Core i7 , except built with a 32nm fabrication process and two extra cores, for a total of six. Read more: Intel Core i9 Benched: Six Cores of Pure Joy [Intel]

• Tying the Carey Special (Stillwater Dragon or Caddis Imitation)

  
  SwittersB & Fly Fishing — Authority: 138
  This a great stillwater pattern popular in the Pacific NW and B.C. and for all I know beyond. I have never fished it for stream born insects but imagine it could serve well as an October Caddis. The dubbed body can be replaced by a wound body of yarn, chenille or the classic…peacock herl. The hardest part of the fly ...

• Two Experiments for Midges (The Macro Shows the Flaws)

  
  SwittersB & Fly Fishing — Authority: 138
  These are kind of like a Palomino Midge pattern. I used a size 18 hook and 14/0 thread (black and gray). The extended body is the micro dubbing brush, the wing is packing bubble wrap pieces and the wing case is pink antron on the left and cream on the right. I am not certain the bubble wrap material would float the ...

• Fly Tying the Simple Dubbed Pupa for beginners

  
  SwittersB & Fly Fishing — Authority: 138
  Caddis, Chironomid, Mayfly, Scud…the simple pupa pattern is simple in silhouette and design. The basic fly then lends itself to the bead and/or the wing. Keep it sparse and the pattern can be tied in different colors, although I have a proven comfort with green. The pattern can be tied on hooks ranging from ...

• Why Did the Modernists Love Sans Serif?

  
  Crooked Timber — Authority: 640
  This post is going to have it all: comics, fonts, broadbrush high-lowbrow cultural opinionation, curiously reasonably priced British TV. We’ll start with fonts. Why did the modernists go ga-ga for sans serif? Take Tschichold, my recent subject of study . Early in his career, he dogmatizes that there is something ...

• Fly Tying and the IDK Pattern(s)

  
  SwittersB & Fly Fishing — Authority: 138
  Where do yours’ go? I have plastic bins of IDK patterns.  I Don’t Know what they were suppose to be. Often I tied with improvisation, trying to not so much match anything as create something interesting, and to me enticing to the trout. Not a good process. Better to match something then improvise and then keep it ...
