R.I.P. a remix manifesto

Check out this trailer. It has nothing to do with fly fishing but it looks deece as hell. And if you've never checked out the DJ, Girl Talk you should.

In RiP: A remix manifesto, Web activist and filmmaker Brett Gaylor explores issues of copyright in the information age, mashing up the media landscape of the 20th century and shattering the wall between users and producers.

The film’s central protagonist is Girl Talk, a mash-up musician topping the charts with his sample-based songs. But is Girl Talk a paragon of people power or the Pied Piper of piracy? Creative Commons founder, Lawrence Lessig, Brazil’s Minister of Culture Gilberto Gil and pop culture critic Cory Doctorow are also along for the ride.

A participatory media experiment, from day one, Brett shares his raw footage at opensourcecinema.org, for anyone to remix. This movie-as-mash-up method allows these remixes to become an integral part of the film. With RiP: A remix manifesto, Gaylor and Girl Talk sound an urgent alarm and draw the lines of battle.

Which side of the ideas war are you on?

"One Feather" CDC Emerger

This emerger pattern is tied simply with thread and one CDC feather. It can be a good match for anything from a caddis to a mayfly, or from a large Hexagenia to a tiny Blue Winged Olive. The CDC One Feather fishes well in sizes 10 to 20.

I also am realizing how good EBeth's new camera is.

(pod)Casting Lessons

If you use iTunes on your Mac or PC to listen to your music or watch video, check out podcasts section. There is a ton of fly-fishing audio and video. Anything from fly tying videos to fly-fishing radio.

And if are not using iTunes I can't imagine why not.

As always, Give my best to Andy.

Lefty Kheh is coming to an Ozark Fly Fishers Meeting

Lefty Kheh is coming to an Ozark Fly Fishers Meeting

The all day meeting this year will feature Lefty Kreh, as most of you know Lefty is the foremost authority in our sport. When Lefty talks, people listen. Saturday, February 21st is the magical day. We will have the opportunity to see and hear the grandmaster enlighten us on casting and knot tying. He will be retelling some of his favorite stories and tales. Lefty is cutting back his speaking engagements so this may be the last time you get to see him in person. The meeting will be held at the Creve Coeur Government center on New Ballas Road. This is between Olive and HWY 40. We will start promptly at 8:30 AM and go as long as we need. Lefty will be available for autographs after the program is over. Bring your own books or gear for him to sign. I will have Lefty‟s book on casting at the meeting to auction off. The winner can get it autographed and have his picture taken with Lefty. He is expecting a full house as I have bragged on the number of members we have at each meeting, so let‟s spread the word and fill the room.
