Chuggin Along

I’ve been busy everyday working on earlybirdradio.com though I don’t know if anyone can tell because I have put more time into design than into the creation of new content.  Lucky for my family, friends, and the world at large, earlybirdradio is at the point where there is nothing left to do but create useful, relevant, and interesting content.

As you can see the site has many random categories of my old radio stuff and video projects.  This would be great if the site was called nickgunner’swebsite.com.  But it’s not.  It’s earlybirdradio.  So…the header will be changing soon from a picture of me to something greater.  Probably some sort of multi-media.  It is my hope that earlybirdradio will morph into an independent entity soon.

Some things to expect:

-The WNY/Buffalo calendar of concerts and shows-  this is pretty self explanatory.  I plan to always keep a section of earlybirdradio devoted to local activity.

-Google ads- already implemented into the website but need to be fine-tuned to increase their efficiency.

-Facebook/google promotion- I am in the middle of a marketing campaign with facebook and google in order to bring more traffic to the site.

- Extreme weather of the world- a weekly extreme weather wrap-up geared towards making people aware of weather happening around the world.  This broadcast will eventually come as a video but may start out as a podcast.

Just a few ideas with many many more to come.

July 4th

Occasionally I find myself in a position where I sit back, look around, and honestly, to no higher extent, realize how lucky and blessed I am. These moments of reflection are not planned or pre-meditated and they can happen at any time or any place. One such pondering occurred this past Saturday, July the 4th.

I hope this occurrence is not observed as cliche for its convenient coming to be on a national holiday that is intended for such reflections.

On Friday the 3rd, I made it a point to wake around 6. It was not an unusual morning at all for me except that I had a particularly jolting amount of energy and awareness. Why may you ask?

The bottom line is that Caitlin and I had decided that we wanted to purchase a used canoe and I was going to pick one up. I know whoopdeedoo! Well to me it was and is a big deal. Other than our apartments, Caitlin and I have never shared a larger purchase.

We ended up taking our 16ft fiberglass touring canoe to Kinzua where we spent the whole day paddling down to the infamous “Rattle Snake Bay”, eating, tanning, and paddling back. The whole day was nirvana and I am thankful.  See for yourself!

Later that night we drove down to the Dunkirk Pier and watched amazing fireworks.

It was one of the most memorable 4th of July holidays I’ve ever experienced.

We have plans to take the canoe to places like Cassadaga and Presque Isle ASAP!
