We’re pretty excited (and so are you, by the looks of things!) about what’s going on at 2oceansvibe Radio and it’s always encouraging to hear stories confirming we’re on the right track. Like the fact that the FM signal in the UK is being shut down in five years time and the fact that the […]
If you don’t pop into The Cool Hunter every now and then, you’re doing yourself a great injustice. Take for example this new ad for Mini that they picked up on. God, it’s good! This, from The Cool Hunter : One of the selling points for Mini Cooper Clubman – the Mini that is roomier […]
There’s a cess-pit of bad football films out there. Of course, the discerning viewer will recognise that Any Given Sunday rises above the sentiment and excrement that makes up 90% of the movies in this drama. It’s a great film. There’s plenty of old-school Pacino filth and grit in there. And there’s that one, iridescent […]
I found myself absolutely killing it outside the vida e in Green Point this weekend, and I realised that I still haven’t told you about my new toy, the Vespa GTS 250 i.e. And that “i.e.” at the end doesn’t mean “id est,” as you often see in english sentences, it refers rather to the […]
You know when you think of something one day, then you suddenly get reminded of it everywhere you go? Like to other day I was in a sports shop looking for toys and very nearly bought badminton racquets and a shuttlecock (try not to laugh). I decided not to, but the next day on iol.co.za […]
The New Mini Takes Internet Radio Quite Seriously The 2011 Mini “Countryman” Takes Internet Radio Quite Seriously – BMW’s Mini brand is getting a little bigger soon, with the Countryman bringing a taller stance and some AWD to the party, but that won’t be the only exciting addition to the mix. The Countryman will be […]
Victoria’s Secret Launch New “Incredible” Bra Victoria’s Secret Launch The New “Incredible” Bra – Whatever that has to do with anything but giving us new pics of our very own supermodel, Candice Swanepoel, I don’t know. She is apparently holding it (the new bra) in the picture above. See if you can spot it. For […]
There has been so much press about the new iPhone 4 and its various pros and cons, that I doubt I need to educate you about them. The point is that people who have had the last two or three iPhones don’t give a toss about anything but owning the new one. And that includes […]
We’re pretty blown away by the response to the “Seth Song” we’ve been playing fairly regularly, over at 2oceansvibe Radio. It’s not only a damn funny tune, but I tell you what – it’s got the heads bopping too! Apparently The Assembly lost their minds to it last Saturday! The guys behind the tune are […]
Professional Crook, Jackie Selebi, Leaves Court After Being Sentenced To 15 Years In Jail Jackie Selebi Gets 15 Years Behind Bars – Opposition parties have welcomed the 15-year jail sentence handed down to former police national commissioner Jackie Selebi on Tuesday. Selebi was found guilty on charges of corruption for accepting money from convicted drug […]
About three hours ago a Kalk Bay fishermen walked into the e.tv Studios foyer off Kloof Street, and demanded to see the News Editor of e.tv. Surprisingly, the arb fisherman was denied access to the ed by security. And then…And then he lost his temper.
Well I’m feeling much better about myself, now that Michael Corleone Al Pacino has become a “brand whore” (as they call it in South Africa) by doing his first endorsement – in the form of a 30 second TV commercial for Vittoria, a brand of coffee. I’m not quite sure what to think, other than […]
Unbelievable scenes this morning at vida e on Kloof Street, as this photo of the great man was tweeted by “king_si” and forwarded to the 2oceansvibe Twitter account. It’s been a while since The TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) has been spotted around town. No doubt he has been overseas somewhere, curing the sick and mending […]
I was browsing the overseas newspapers on my iPad and spotted something on the front page of yesterday’s Daily Telegraph in the UK. Check it out – bottom right: With the launch of 2oceansvibe Radio, I am naturally drawn to articles like this – especially when they’re on the front page. Really interesting stuff here […]
There are a lot of iPhone apps out there and, as much as I would like to focus on all of them, my attention has been fully diverted to the new kid on the my block, the iPad. By the way, did I tell you that I subscribed to 12 issues of Wallpaper magazine for […]
I’ll be honest, I’m settling into the iPad quite nicely and starting to incorporate it into everyday life. I genuinely find typing on it (in portrait) an absolutely pleasure, typing at virtually the same speed as I do on a normal keyboard. Look at me, being all detailed and informative, like I’m not on my […]
I featured the all new Google Maps Street View vibe the other day (on the iPad nogal), and, whilst I was able to show you some of 2oceansvibe’s favourtie landmarks, I’ve been DYING to get some roadside funnies captured by the Google Street View cameras. Finally, 24 Apollo Road in Ocean View, just outside Kommetjie, […]
Those of you following 2oceansvibe on Twitter would have seen this yesterday. You see, I was rubbing my new iPad against my body and accidentally opened up the TIME Magazine app. It’s a much celebrated iPad app and you can see why. This pic was captured as one of their five best pics of the […]
It’s finally paid off – my constant musings and coverage of North Korea and, in particular, Our Dear Leader Kim Jong il, has resulted in a special invite from VISA to attend today’s game against Portugal! Why thank you, VISA! This is the first time North Korea has been in the World Cup since 1966! […]
All protocol was relaxed as we granted one photographer and virtual-tour expert (Panascape) unprecedented access to my suite at the Cape Royale hotel. As it is my primary residence, you can imagine what intimate never-seen-before details were caught on camera. The virtual tour itself let’s you cruise around the Cape Royale hotel (spinning 360 degrees […]
“They” come out with hundreds of thousands of new apps every month and, very often, they’re rubbish – often making use of some of the iPhones hardware unnecessarily. Not this time. I found this little gem which will be very handy for our 2010 WC visitors wanting to take a break and catch a flick. […]
Much like the hilarities found on Craiglist classifieds websites around the world, our very own online classifieds website, Gumtree, has been known to give us the odd corker from time to time. Take this ad, for example: Hello, So firstly; this room is only available for a female. Sorry guys; it’s already two of us […]
You can only imagine the zone you can get into, listening to some vinyl, with a joint in one hand and your new iPad in the other – on the day that Google Maps goes live with “Google Street View” for Cape Town. My God, I have traipsed every square inch of this city, all […]
I sent the incredibly awesome “Drummer Guy” video to Dom (The Blonde) and Dave (Baby Jesus) of Goldfish fame, before I put it up on 2oceansvibe the other day. I emailed it to them with the subject, “a gift for you – thank me later.” They responded that it was, indeed, genius. So today, Dom […]
The Apple Icon is one of the world’s most powerful brands. Not only does it front the most economically powerful leisure technology manufacturer in the world, it is also a lesson in simple, elegant design with the aesthetic legs to carry it through multiple decades. Which is precisely why you should slap a mo or […]

Let your iPhone or iPod Touch become your travel companion with The South Africa Travelers’ Kit, which contains essential information that you need to have at hand when visiting the Rainbow Nation for the World […]
My buddy Shaun Trennery over at Izimvo sent me a link yesterday about something called the “Air Display,” which is a wonderful app for my new iPad (Digicape smartly gave me a test unit, before they hit our shores – so be sure to pre-book yours!). Shaun obviously caught my barrage of tweets, as I […]
We don’t use the word “magic” enough. Our folks do – but we’ve kind of dropped it. Let’s make a pact to bring it back. “Hey chom, how was the fishing trip?” “Bloody magic, man!” Ok, so, another week has gone by, which means tomorrow morning (Friday) brings us another 2oceansvibe Radio show! Things are […]
