CTV is Cape Town’s only community television station. But so far only viewers with an aerial that’s in the line-of-sight of Tygerberg could actually watch the channel. That all changed yesterday as they launched a 24-hour live stream, embedded on their website – taking their content global.

04 Oct 2011 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I saw this on the toilet door in Hudsons on Kloof. Don’t know what it’s about, but they’ve got free mojitos for everyone! Surely the Bacardi or Cuervo or Olmeca* tequila brand managers should get hold of the organisers, so they can “own” the mojitos? Oooh, yeah… It could be a hugely successful “activation.” Makes me […]

Cash Converters Employing Toxic Gas To Immobilise Unauthorised Humans [PIC]
15 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Being a paying customer is not as safe as you might think – especially if you aren’t “authorized” to enter a place where you wish to spend your money. Take Cash Converters in Balfour Park, Joburg, as an example. They’ve had so many unauthorized customers in their shop that they’ve now had to invest in some toxic gas, capable of “immobilizing humans.” You’ve been warned.

Im sorry to harp on about it, but not everyone seems to have have fully grasped the Printwild.co.za article I pumped you with a few weeks ago. Or rather, you forgot the name. I keep getting SMSs from people asking “what is the name of the website which let’s you upload a file and pay […]

A few weeks ago I dropped off La Muse at Cape Town International airport, ahead of her buying trip to three corners of the world. We ate at the Spur (as you do) and when I paid for my parking ticket I was shocked to see I had been charged R105. I didn’t have the […]

Probably The Most Important Thing You Will Read This Month
22 Apr 2011 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
2oceansvibe had to turn down business from two different brands this last week. A lot of the haters out there don’t realise that. They don’t think it happens. It does. Constantly.

Security Is Tight At Game
24 Mar 2011 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
Game stores chose ‘Red Alert’ security for a reason. Probably because their security personnel are slightly more advanced than your average baton-wielding hack.
