I'm getting quicker again with my updates: it has been less then a month! :-)

I'm doing a lot of schooling for HTC, visiting all kinds of cell-phone-shops in all kinds of cities within Switzerland.

The new flagship-phone of HTC is the HD2, it's supposed to come out any time now. It has a marvelous 4.3 inch screen (the first Windows Mobile phone with a capacitive screen!) and is equipped with a 1GHz Snapdragon processor.You can also see that it's pencil thin... just amazing.

Woohooo! 2 Months have passed since my last update. What has happened during this time? On the 18th of September, I broke my left upper leg in Paul's Miniramp Bowl (at the 20 years Vertical Technik celebration). No wild trick or anything - I just lost my balance and slammed into the transition. After that I didn't get up again. My bone was broken several times.

Well, my leg is fixed as you can see. I'm even able to walk again. Still looks a bit funny but I'm getting there. I'm allowed to do everything again - but what I need now is strenght and muscle in my left leg that rested for 6 weeks. I especially enjoy riding my bicycle again. It's not as tiring as walking.

8th of September 2009

I had my first teaching as an HTC Expert at autronic in Zweidlen this Monday morning. It was great to finally start something new.

Oh, and now I have my SBB GA (General Abonnement) back - that means I can ride (practically) all public transportation within Switzerland.
G-R-E-A-T!!!
My HTC business cards just arrived as well, so I'm almost fully equipped - I'm going to get some HTC embroided longsleeve shirts later on. Yay!

23rd of August 2009

I just got an link to a from a friend today - it's about the album entitled Rolling Head by Peter Petchalov also know as Stereo Gentleman. Let me tell you, Peter is the NEXT GUITAR HERO! He rocks.

He's in the making of his 2nd album now - check out the link now on Gee-Jay.com/music

My dear friend and Hollywood Stunt-Woman from Liechtenstein Simone Bargetze got a part in the upcoming movie called AVATAR.

Click on the pictures to enlarge them.

Here you can see her ready to shoot - oh, and she's also appearing for a fraction second in the official trailer - riding on a horse back, what else :-)

I can't wait to see that movie on December 18th...

Check out the official website and the Facebook Fanpage.

4th of August 2009

Hey, it's me again - with my daily - errr... weekly... ok, with my monthly update.

So SUMMER was here for a bit - but not for very long, a lot of rainy and rather coldish days here in Basel.

That's why I really enjoyed a few really warm days in Intragna, TICINO, in the South of Switzerland.

I will be hosting the Swiss Air-Guitar Championships 2009 on the 7th of August at SOCA in Basel. It's going to be off the hook.

Check it out here > Sommercasino.ch
and here > AirGuitar.ch

I hope to see you there!

PS: I got myself and my wife the all new HTC HERO mobile phone. It's HTC's third phone with Googles ANDROID OS on it - but this time, HTC skinned it very neatly with their Touch Flow 3D surface. It's just so much fun to download and try all those free cool applications from the Android Market... amazing.
Be sure, to have a data plan / flatrate along with your contract when you buy this phone ;-)

2nd of July 2009

OK, it's been a while again - a month has passed. Sorry for not updating - but I had some wedding-ceremony-planing to do :-) After marrying my wife on the 12h of September 2008, we now organised a bigger celebration not just for our famiIies but also for our friends. It all went down in the garden of my parents in Rodersdorf. Here is a first sneak-peek. More pictures will follow.

By the way: I will participate in a "jobless-project" @ jobtv in Zurich on the 4th of August where I will learn how to cut movies, work on concepts etc. - but that's only the case if I don't find a job in the mean time.

5th of June 2009

I just made myself a new ringtone, you can download it here.

2nd of June 2009

I just recieved a call from SFF, the Schweizer Sport Fernsehen today. They invited me for a casting on the 16th of this month. Cross your fingers for me! :-)

14th of May 2009

I was at my sisters place to see her and her youngest child - Floris.

Chilli is using the Litter Kwitter! He passed the red stage (no hole), with the Litter Kwitter on the floor.Then he proceeded to using the Litter Kwitter on the toilet seat. Now he's using the first ring with a small hole in it - he's peeing through it - sometimes. Now he has to get used to it until we get to the next stage - with a bigger hole :-)

Peppino doesn't use the Litter Kwitter at all - he's avoiding it completely and does his business somewhere else - only he knows where, but I think he's doing it on some neighbours roof.

10th of April 2009

I've got you a picture of Oma's (my Granny) Birthday party.

And a link to some more pics and two videos on my Picasa website.

4th of April 2009

Happy Birthday to my wife Nina (3rd of April) and to my Grandmother (4th of April) :-)

It's finally getting warmer now. FINALLY! Can't wait for summer to kick in.

Our cats Chilli and Peppino, that we have since November '08, are totally cute. But they can be real monsters, when they're waking us up early in the morning with doorscratching. Well, actually, that's just Chilli. Here they are together in their basket. Brothers in arms ;-)

By the way: I called Jo Lapidge, the inventor of Litter Kwitter in Australia and she was really sorry that my order didn't ship until now for some reason and took it into her own hands... now it should finally arrive in about 10 days.

25th of March 2009

On the 14th of March, I got 35. That's half of 70 :-)

I had a regular day at work, it was a Saturday. When I came home, I got surprised by my wife Nina - she organised a party at home!

Pictures of that evening can be seen here.

7th of March 2009

I've been to Geneva at the annual Car Show with the Zimtstern Crew. Thomas (one of the two founders/owners), Reto and Claus from the Marketing department. On the picture, we just had lunch at the Skoda booth - thanks to Carol Hochuli for the invitation.

My personal highlight was - just like last year - the Daihatsu Materia. I don't know, but this little car just pushes the right buttons. They have this tuned version this year, a little lower, special rims, 4x4... just lovely.

Oh, and Fasnacht is over - it's been nice, dispite the rain on Monday and Wednesday.

27th of February 2009

I had the pleasure to interview JEM today - her full name is Jemma Griffiths, she's from Wales, lives in LA and released her 2nd album today in Europe. It's called Down To Earth.

Check out her website: Jem-Music.net

16th of February 2009

Last week, I met Lady GaGa for an interview. She's currently on tour with The Pussycat Dolls. The interview went well, she was really nice. The show was also quite cool - she says that her hard earned money is directly reinvested into the show.

I hope you all had a nice Valentines Day - mine was terriffic!

9th of February 2009

I was hosting the 4MAP Drumnight together with Thierry Gerber at SOCA in Basel last Friday.

I think it was a great event - we heard and saw some nice drumming - maybe there will be a sequel someday.

Next up is the CinéCardNight of MILK - this Tuesday @ cinema REX2 in Basel, 9PM - I'm announcing the movie.

30th of January 2009

Basel 1 presents the 2nd CH-Szene Live tonight at Messe Basel with Swiss-Top-Acts as Myron, Fabienne, Louves, headliner Bligg and many others.

I will host the show together with Jacqueline - it's gonna be great. If you want to come, give me a call until 5PM so I can hook you up with some free tickets.

Congratulations America - OBAMAMANIA in full effect. I hope, he will stay President of the United States of America for a long time and that he's able to change a lot of bad things to the better.

Today is a good day! Cheerio! YES WE... you know the rest.

PS: I'm hosting the CinéCardNight of TWILIGHT tonight @ cinema Capitol in Basel.

15th of January 2009

I hope you all had a nice New Year's Eve!

The Litter Kwitter has not arrived yet... so no updates on that subject... the cats still use up a ton of Cat-Sand and distribute it all over the place... but I got some pretty funny links on the topic of languages... here we go (all YouTube Links):

Link 1 > Link 2 > Link 3 > Link 4

Enjoy!
