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:

I know that today is not the officially Christmas day, but I know that in some countries (e.g. Mexico) they celebrate Christmas already the 24th. For all of you where Christmas is the 25th, just come back tomorrow again and read this again

I want to wish every one of you a merry Christmas day and all the peace and love in the world. I want to wish a special merry Christmas to some people. From some of those, I am not sure if they read my blog, but I will do this anyway…

Aaaaaaahhhhh THE LAST WINDOW in our little Advent calendar.In some countries, today is gift-giving. In others, it is the 25th in the morning. Anyway, I have a pretty funny video about that… watch

Before Santa comes, I want to make you aware of some facts about that guy… A lot of people say that he is “invented by Coca Cola Company”. Last year, I did a little research about that, and I want to dig it out today again:

Long story short: No, he’s not. But Coca Cola also has to do something with him… If you’re curious, check it out

As one of the last things I show you is this piece of Christmas by Bruce “the boss” Springsteen…
Santa is coming to town… ENJOY!!

Notice the voice of the black guy… so genius

We come closer to the end… and honestly, I am getting out of stuff
But I still have something nice here for you… this time let’s get Spanish!!

Who doesn’t know the song “Feliz Navidad“? Which means in Spanish “Merry Christmas”. Probably nobody, but I anyway want to share this with you. I know a lot of Spanish speaking people and last year I have been to Mexico to celebrate Christmas with my girlfriend there. And I got impressed by the Mexican way of celebrating Christmas… Back then, I wrote a blog post about it: http://blog.alcatraz.lu/2009/01/07/mexico-december-2008-part-two/

I hope you enjoy my experience back 1 year ago and of course this video of José Feliciano singing “Feliz Navidad”
