A Note About “NOFC” Book Orders

JB — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 14:26:00 +0000

Just a quick note if you have ordered a Nature of Fly Casting book and have not yet received an e-invoice for it. All orders that I have received have been invoiced via PayPal’s system, which allows for payment with a major credit card or PayPal account. If your e-mail system has a highly aggressive [...]

FF&W is at WP 3.0 — Here’s to Hoping…

JB — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 19:21:26 +0000

Just backed up the FF&W database, as well as the main theme, and then hit “upgrade.” The 3.0 version of WordPress is now running here and hopefully everything will continue without a hitch. I’ll have a look through things, but if something is really messed up for anyone, let me know. No water-time for me [...]

May/June 2010 E-List

JB — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 15:08:51 +0000

I have three things to do this weekend: Get some water-time, do about 3298479857454 book illustrations, and finish the May/June 2010 E-List (not necessarily in that order). I’ll be sleeping between the hours of 2 and 4 in the morning. So, for those of you on the E-List, look for something in your in-boxes on [...]

March/April E-List is Coming!

JB — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 17:27:43 +0000

Yes, it’s coming soon! With some educational goodies (including a Fishing the Film book excerpt) and a “tax-break” give-away of a Nature of Fly Casting book or FF&W tee (winner’s choice). I fully realize that March/April could pretty soon be April/May, so I’m aiming to have it out by the weekend. Update: The E-List mailing [...]

MidCurrent DF 52 Collaboration

JB — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 00:01:45 +0000

Starting this week, MidCurrent.com is collaborating with Jeff Kennedy and me to provide the Drawing Flies 52 fly art (sometimes with additional text) to MC e-newsletter subscribers. MidCurrent began the collaboration with the Flashback PT from January 28th, and will be going week-to-week from there. If you want some more info on the flies, and [...]

jasonborger.com is now fishfliesandwater.com

JB — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 22:00:16 +0000

Well, jasonborger.com is still jasonborger.com, but fishfliesandwater.com has taken over from jasonborger.com and turned jasonborger.com into fishfliesandwater.com. Confused yet? ;-) Actually what I’ve done is transfer the blog URL (a/k/a the Web address) from jasonborger to fishfliesandwater. The change should be essentially invisible, since both domain names point to the same set of files. BUT, [...]

The FlyTalk/FF&W Collaboration

JB — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 18:44:20 +0000

Some of you may have noticed the new “Collaboration” header over in the sidebar, and wondered what was going there (indeed one of you wondered enough to e-mail and ask). The collaborations are exactly that, FF&W and a small group of other blogs working together to provide content and so forth. Today is the day [...]

E-List Mailing (Jan/Feb 2010)

JB — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 16:40:56 +0000

The FF&W E-List mailing for Jan/Feb 2010 has gone out (as of Sunday night). My analytics show no “bounces,” so the mailing should have reached everyone on the list. My concern is that overly aggressive spam-filters may catch it (even though it is designed to avoid those issues for the most part). If you are [...]

NOFC Book Orders (Thru Jan 29)

JB — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 17:35:02 +0000

Just a quick post to everyone who has ordered Nature of Fly Casting books up through and including Jan 29. All the books have shipped or are shipping as of today (Feb 1). Got a little behind due to the heavy initial response (thanks!), but am now caught up on shipping. Depending on where you live, [...]

Favorite Posts 2009

JB — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 18:02:07 +0000

Feelin’ lazy reflective today. Gonna go cast my MPR, work on the book series, and perhaps watch a few minutes of “Once in Blue Moon” (while simultaneously lamenting the fact that I do not currently have two tickets to the South Island sitting on my kitchen table). And while I do all of that, here [...]

Page Hierarchies and Dead Links

JB — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 21:43:56 +0000

Before the Pages section of this blog gets out of hand, I have decided to step in and organize the thing. No more random topics arranged by first letter! Now it is about random topics arranged by first letter, but under separate parent pages. Thrilled? I’m sure you are, but try to contain yourself. Actually [...]

NEW FF&W Tees – Dec 2009

JB — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 20:55:57 +0000

Thanks to the FF&W readership, I’ve sold through my original run of FF&W tees. I’ve had more made, but have expanded the selection with more sizes, colors, fabrics and fits. I have the Men’s/Unisex 50/50 shirts in the “Shadow Gray” color (up to 2XL), a new Men’s/Unisex 100-cotton shirt in a ”Coastal Green” color (up to [...]
