I want to share a blog with you which is made by me and another guy about the Intensive Programme here in Trondheim…

» iptrondheim2010.wordpress.com

There you can find daily updates what we did each day plus pictures. You might want to check it out

Yesterday we did a first tour through the city…

First, some facts about it: Trondheim is the 3rd most populated city with a little more than 168.000 and the 256th biggest/smallest city in Norway.

When we went to the city, we very quickly noticed that we will have to take care where to step, because the streets and sidewalks are littered with massive ice and/or snow It was not too easy to get to the city center itself… and to be honest, it was kinda dangerous

Yesterday I had my trip to Trondheim, Norway. But is was not as pleasant as I expected…

The journey started in Zurich, where we had to wait quiet a long time to get checked in in the “group check-in”. Boarding was unproblematic and the flight was nice too. It took about two hours.

Arrived in Oslo, the uncomfortable part started… Getting out of the plane it said that domestic flights need to pick up the luggage and check it in again… What the fuck?! Why that? In every flight I had until now it was not like that…
Well okay, I was there picking up my luggage and… yeah… they actually broke my bag!! The wheel was defect when I picked it up.

Tomorrow, the day will be there to travel to Trondheim (Norway). Why are you asking?

Well… I am participating in a so-called “Intensive Program” (IP) for the FH Vorarlberg. Those IPs are every year and some universities from around Europe are participating (Dornbirn (AT), Trondheim (N), Amsterdam (NL) and a university from Ireland, but I don’t know which one). And this year it’s taking place in Trondheim!

Maybe you are one of the few people who saw my vlogging project on Youtube.

I started it in the beginning of the year to try it, because I am interested in it, to improve my English pronunciation and because I thought it would be a lot of fun. And indeed… it is interesting, it is a lot of fun and I even think that my English kind of improved.

But somehow I think that I do something wrong Because in the first video I had more than 170 views and the last one less than 40. Apparently there is something I do wrong… I think that the main problem is, that I mix up personal vlogs and other things. Furthermore, there wasn’t much feedback from the user’s side, which is a pitty. The some comments I got, I changed in the next videos. Lack of advertisment? Maybe… but not a main point for sure…

Again 2 weeks are over, and my new video is out…

I hope you enjoyed the current episode. And if you like to leave comments and feedback you are invited to do that Thanks in advance!

Hello everybody! This entry might come a little bit too late, but still… better too late than never

Anyway, on last Saturday I published the second episode of my Vlog…

As you noticed on the video: I got a new camera… the Logitech Webcam Pro 9000. It is a very cool camera! I didn’t have chance too much yet to figure out the optimal camera setting, but it has a bunch of optimisation options like automatic light balance or auto-focus.

Hopefully for the next episode I figured everything out

I plan to release a new episode every 2 weeks (Saturday OR Sunday) So stay tuned

I already got complaints that  I didn’t blog lately (*caugh* Martin *caugh* René). Well… I didn’t have much time for that, but I will come to that later.

Anyway, I find that the guys are right… and I noticed that back some time I blogged much more casual stuff what was going on in my life. I kinda lost that stuff, and I find it very cool when I can watch back in my blog one day and research aaalllllll the stuff I did and when

So, I decided to create a new category in my blog called “Marc’s life“, where I once in a while tell what is going on here. I hope my friends and family will enjoy

My new year announcement I have as a world premiere this year also on a video. Why are you asking? Well… I try to build up a Vlog on YouTube… Vlog means “Video blog”. This video is the first one I made, and I know it needs a lot of improvement… starting at the video/sound quality and ending at the weird scene switches

If you have any constructive improvement measures, please let me know

My YouTube channel is: www.youtube.com/MarcsVlog

Enjoy! (hopefully)

Another year passed and a new one is coming… Good and bad things happened 2009… But however your year was, I wish you the best for the new year 2010!

I wish everyone of you a happy new year, full of happiness and health. I hope all your wishes and plans work out as expected.

I made a collage which represents my year 2009:
