Finding Boating Items Online is Quick and Easy.Written by Got-Content - Andrew Constantine
Got-Content.com interviews Alex James about informational website he has created around topic of inflatable boats and kayaks online. Alex is an average guy that has a small business in ‘small town U.S.A.’ . When looking to create his first informational site, a hobby of his was chosen to build website around. Got-Content.com: “Alex, what inspired you to build a site about boats and kayaks?” Alex: “Mainly it’s a hobby of mine to take off for a few hours on weekend and hit water with my inflatable kayak. I have a Sea Eagle 380x and spend as much time as I can on water, fishing or just paddling waters of a small pond that I stumble upon. The great thing about inflatable boats and kayaks is that you can throw them in car or truck, find an out-of-the-way water spot that you might have to hike a ways to, then simply blow up your boat and go!” Got-Content.com: “Sounds fun! I know I have seen these small boats on water, but how sturdy are they… after all, they remind me of a pool raft.” Alex: “It’s funny look I get when I take a friend out on my kayak. They don’t realize that these are serious boats and are equally as capable of taking weight and punishment of other small boats of similar size made of aluminum or wood. – Think of Marines inflatable watercraft – These boats are designed with similar strategies and safety features, just downsized and lightened up a bit for consumers.” Got-Content.com: “Where did you find your kayak?” Alex: “That’s a funny story – I was looking in sporting goods stores and boat marinas. What I found was either too cheap and flimsy or outrageously priced. – I got discouraged and searched online for a store that might be local to me – What I found was incredible! A couple of quality inflatable boat manufacturers that primarily sell their products from hunting and fishing catalogs by mail order had ventured online and I found exact type and style I wanted – I even bought it direct through manufacturer!”
| | Do You Know What a Didgeridoo is?Written by Jesse S. Somer
Do you know what a didgeridoo is? There are so many things in this life that are unknown to us. I bet you could find out about something outside your normal sphere of vision and experience everyday for rest of your life and still not get close to knowing about everything out there. Not to mention number of things we don’t know about our own internal selves-physical, emotional, spiritual and mental realities that are still unaware to us. That’s another story however, let’s stick to external in this article.I play didgeridoo. It’s a sacred Australian Aborigine instrument, arguably one of oldest instruments in humankind’s long history. If you type didgeridoo into your search engine you will see hundreds of sites about this thing that you’ve never even heard of. You don’t know how many people I’ve mentioned it to around world that never have even heard word. One site I found to be quite thorough and useful was: http://www.echotree.com.au/index.htm This retail site explains in detail how a didgeridoo is made (it is a termite-hollowed branch or tree trunk), how to choose right one for you, and of course instruction on how to play. It explains how to recognize a quality piece and they say that they can even custom make one to your desires. Each didj has a key or root note, and they can be made of several types of wood, some better than others. Placed on mouthpiece is bee’s wax which makes for an airtight seal against face as well as protecting one’s mouth from getting cut by sharp edges. To give you an idea of incredible feat it was for first Aborigines to make this music 40-60,000 years ago I’ll give you a perspective on how it is played. You place your mouth in whole at top of hollowed wood upon bees wax coating. Then you vibrate your lips against edge of wood, filling your cheeks with air at same time to keep sound constant. The sound never stops and this is because you circular breathe-in through nose and out through your mouth at same time. Sounds difficult, and it is for some like myself, it took me 9 months to get my mind around it. A friend of mine however did it in a couple of days, and babies breathe this way naturally! Pretty cool.
