MC Igee Network Blog

Numerous things have happened in the time elapsed between my last post and now – almost a year has passed since I last fed the MC Igee Network blog. “How come you’re back with some news?” you might ask. Well, the reason is quite simple: I just started a 3-semester-course at the SAWI (near Zurich) to eventually become a graduate Web Project Manager (with federal diploma). “Wow”, you might think, “and that’s something to brag around with, hugh?” Well no, not at all.
At least not until I succeed in getting that diploma. But one of the students’ tasks is to provide a webpage URL of ourselves, either creating one on a provided webspace or linking to an existing one… Guess what I picked!

And doing so I thought that rather than having my last post dating back to May 11th 2009 for all the new visitors this link in my student profile will generate, I’ll just let you all know I’m back and update system, plugins and posts in one step. And I’m glad you’re still with me on the MC Igee Network

Ah, just before I forget, there’s some more about me to know for next summer: I’ll get married to my love and – if nature’s will it is – become a happy father.

Yes, finally my beloved local football (soccer) club FC Biel/Bienne is entering the 21st century with its marketing strategies and advertisment campaigns. In doing so, they created the new slogan “ENSEMBLE GEWINNEN WIR” and invited “local celebrities” to team up with players of the fanion team on a picture campaign. Being close to the creators of the FC Biel/Bienne marketing strategies and (I dare say so) locally not the absolute unknown guy, I made it on the picture with Alain Meyer, goalkeeper of the team.

The fact that Alain and me played football together for about 5 years for FC Orpund, SV Safnern and SC Aegerten-Brügg makes it even nicer in my eyes. Nevertheless have a look at it and check the other people on the pics…

Yo, it’s been quite a while since the last post on this blog… my apologies! But I’ve been enjoying this year’s winter blessings like I hadn’t for about 10 years. This year has been the 4th time I co-conducted a ski camp in Sörenberg (Lucerne, Switzerland) with a school from Bellmund and it was the bomb for quite a few special reasons. But number one was the amount of snow falling during January and also calender week 7! The 10 to 12 year old pupils witnessed a phenomenal week on skis and snowboards and were taught how to handle their choice of gear in a good meter of fresh powder snow. Despite the persisting snowfall, the sight was quite good and we managed to have an injury-free week, culminating in a perfect sunny day on Friday to close it off.

For me, this was like waking up from a year-lasting nightmare of snowlessness and bad luck in choosing the ski holidays. Having had the service done on my board just before the camp, I enjoyed it even more.

I know some people may have got used to the milder winters with strong snowfalls, but not quite as well distributed on the season. I feel sorry for them, because when I was a kid, winters like the one we have now were normal.

I wish all the people a joyful and sound winter season… enjoy it, because spring is going to come sooner or later!
