09 Jun 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
A 2oceansviber sent me a PDF of what must be the most comprehensive pack of old Cape Town photos ever. We’ve all seen those shots from the 50’s and 60’s, but it’s not often you see shots from 1900! Check out Clifton: Clifton, Cape Town – circa 1900 Pretty sick, hey? There are literally HUNDREDS […]

THE POWER OF THE TWEET
03 Jun 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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 […]

THE DEFINITIVE SITE FOR HUMAN ACHIEVEMENT
03 Jun 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Ever wondered what the record is for the biggest human pyramid inside a moving train? Or who holds the record for the most double-handed high-fives over a regulation men’s volleyball net by female twins in 30 seconds? I know I have. But I’ve always found myself frustrated with the limited options available to me for […]

First it was Green Market Square, and now it’s the V&A Waterfront. Yes, ladies and gents, we’re talking about free Wi-Fi. We recently ran a story on Skyrove’s offering of free Wi-Fi in Green Market Square, Cape Town. Things have developed ever so slightly.

TWO GREAT INVENTIONS: VELCRO & THE IPAD
02 Jun 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
A very cool human being by the name of Jesse Rosten has made a pretty darn fantastic short film celebrating the beautiful things that happen when two of humankind’s great innovations (the iPad, and Velcro) meet. In a few years time, when touch computer interfaces are on every shiny surface in our house, we might […]

THE PUMA PHONE MAKES YOU A BETTER PERSON
28 May 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
And better looking, too. Didn’t you know? This sassy little individual has been released in Europe, and is on course for distribution in the US. Although, with A FRIGGING SOLAR PANEL CELL ON THE BACK (oh yeah!) you’d expect them to pump these babies to sunny South Africa in a heartbeat.

Were you there on the day they shot this? Or maybe your girlfriend was, with another guy? Or maybe your boyfriend said he was using his spare season ticket to take a friend.

BECAUSE EVERY COUNTRY IS GOOD AT SOMETHING
25 May 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
This, my friends, is awesome. What in the world is that? At first glance, this looks like the fruits of a game of “pin the tail on the donkey” at an acid party in Amsterdam. Right? But the more perceptive of you might recognise the faintest silhouette of a world map. That’s because each of […]

COOKING YOURSELF – A NATIONAL SPORT IN FINLAND
20 May 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
ESPN is a great repository for sporting news. Especially news from the Baltic states. Take Finland, for example. Finland is the home of Sauna (that’s right, with a capital “S”). This relaxing past tie has been exported in various forms and varieties the world over, such is humankind’s love for a good, cleansing sweat. But […]

‘THE WORST WEDDING DJ EVER’ – GREATEST YOUTUBE VIDEO OF ALL TIME?
14 May 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 3 Comments
If any of you out there were contemplating suicide, perhaps this will give you reason to live. YouTube clips like this really do make life worth living.

PAUL ALLEN’S YACHT FOR SALE – ‘TATOOSH’ COULD BE YOURS!
13 May 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 5 Comments
We’ve kept a close eye on Microsoft co-founder, Paul Allen’s two main yachts over the years – both of which have spent time in Cape Town. The first one I ever saw, cruised into Cape Town late August, 2007 (see original article here). It was a good one to see first, as it was, at […]

WERNER HERZOG READS “WHERE’S WALDO”
05 May 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
Werner Hertzog , the critically acclaimed German film director, who recently gave us Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (featuring my good friend Nic Cage), has a very distinct German accent, tone and reading style. And what better way for us to discuss the concept of “Where’s Waldo.” I strongly urge you to sit […]

SAPS – “YOUR [HUMAN] SAFETY IS OUR GOAL!”
05 May 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
The South Africa Police Service – a bastion of efficiency, and relatively humourous accents. Ever tried calling 10111? No answer, right? Exactly. Because every South African police service man or woman is out on the STREETS. Bam. Chew on that rubber bullet, critics. But in all sincerity, we’re pretty lucky to have a decent police […]

NO ACCOUNTING FOR TASTE

Got a little cash lying around lately? Maybe you came into a small tax windfall, or scooped an inheritance lump-sum (my condolences). Or maybe you’re a cocaine drug lord with a pile of money as obscene as your company’s human resources manifesto. You’re gonna get the itch to blow all that nose candy profit on […]

THINGS ARE GOING PRETTY WELL WITH CHARLOTTE HAWKINS
04 May 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
Yeah, thanks for asking. Look, I’ll be honest, things are going pretty well. I basically made the first move with the “piece” I wrote the other day about SkyNews anchor, Mark Longhurst, and the terribly awkward crush he has on SkyNews presenter, Charlotte Hawkins. You can read up on that here. Naturally the story was […]

If you get a suspicious email from someone named “Mike” in reply to an advert you posted online, DON’T EVEN REPLY. That is, of course, unless you want the world to laugh at your expense.
