We got this heartwarming report from 2oceansviber, Carryn Ortlepp over the weekend. Some people forget to mention they are 2oceansvibers when they use our partners, like Digicape. You really should make a special effort to name drop when you’re around one of our brand partners – this is the kind of stuff that goes down.

Canvas printing is so hot right now. I’m not going to pretend there isn’t a 50% deal going down at the moment. And I certainly won’t be hiding it from you – after all, our job (when it comes to Groupon) is to tell you about the deals that WE believe will suit you. This […]

We’re at an interesting juncture with regards to media and, in particular, radio in South Africa. Advertisers have been blowing a load of money on radio for years, hoping that the “shotgun approach” will get the message across to mainstream FM’s listeners. The listenership figures they are working with, are produced by way of the […]

The MINI E may well be the car that saves the world. It is currently at COP17 – the world’s climate change conference currently underway in Durban. This is quite a special little toy. Let me tell you a bit about it. According to plugincars.com, the 2010 Mini E – an all-electric version of the […]
Time Magazine has published photographs from inside Facebook’s Headquarters – taken shortly after Mark Zuckerburg was made Time Magazine’s Person Of The Year. The photographs reveal a bizarre work place which resembles something closer to The Office, than the fantasy land you might have thought. Sure, they’ve got free snacks and a coke machine, but […]
I was browsing the latest issue of GQ Magazine (US Edition) on my iPad 2 and spotted article about Lonely Island. It had Andy Samberg and co modeling those ridiculous sweaters – like the one Jim Carrey wore in his Aspen dream sequence in the film Dumb & Dumber. I flicked through it and spotted […]
UPDATE: Well done to Steve W – who won the helicopter!! Probably the greatest toy I have ever owned, this little “HELO TC” radio controlled helicopter, by Griffin (and sold at www.digicape.co.za) is now yours to win.

Seriously – you don’t have to be a genius to work out how radical this deal is. There are a lot of Groupon deals out there and we choose the ones that we think will suit the 2oceansvibers out there. Like that one the other day which got you backstage at Kings Of Leon – […]
Ho ho ho, boys and girls! Whether you’ve been naughty or nice, Christmas is upon us. Which, for many of you holiday-hogs means only one thing: presents. You’ll be getting them, and you’ll sure as heck be giving them. But Groupon is spreading the Yuletide cheer by giving, while you buy. Every week on Friday, […]
Regular readers and 2oceansvibe Twitter followers will be well aware that I only stay at The Westcliff hotel when I’m in Johannesburg. The beauty of the Westcliff hotel is you actually don’t really need to leave the hotel. And you don’t have to feel bad about it either – because the Westcliff is where you […]

South African cricketing legend, and ambassador for Buchulife, joined an elite club of test cricketers who have scored more than 12 000 runs. He takes his rightful place in a group of players that includes Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting, and Rahul Dravid. In fact, Kallis is now the fourth highest scorer of runs in the […]
I must say I did do a double-take when I drove into the city yesterday (in my awesome new MINI coupé) and saw a Mavericks billboard with a half naked Eastern European woman on it, tangled in sailing rope. The caption read something along the lines of “I was out sailing.” “Hmm, that’s a little […]
I saw this pic in yesterday’s issue of The Daily (on iPad 2) and had to show you. An atmospheric inversion lets the Hohenzollern Castle appear to rise out of the mist. Pretty cool, hey?
In case you were wondering why your friendly Vida baristas were looking especially fatigued on Monday, you should know that these men of coffee and skill threw themselves headlong into a battle of athleticism, wits and guile on Saturday at the Gianluca Vialli soccer nets in Sea Point, in the annual Vida Soccer Tournament. The […]
I got the latest V Magazine on my iPad 2 (I have a US iTunes account – which you can get here) and I was pleasantly surprised when I turned the page and found a stunning little shoot of the world’s #1 supermodel, our very own Candice Swanepoel. It would be rude not to show […]
The Blue Route is just that, blue, and depressing. You probably think you’ve got the better of it by taking Rhodes Drive. The only problem is that you have to deal with that queue that’s longer than the line at Home Affairs. Seth shows you where to bang a right, to avoid the fifteen minute […]
You’ve got a passion for photography. Look, who doesn’t. But you’re afraid to commit. You’re afraid to take the plunge. You’re even afraid to mention the very fact that you have a strong interest in photography, lest some douchebag photojournalist-cum-free-to-have-music-magazine editor corners you into a conversation about shutter speed and aperture. What you need is […]
Seth dodges highly botoxed women in Jaguars, and shows you a short cut from Benmore to Hyde Park, without using Grayston Drive and Sandton Drive. Top secret information is leaked, where he shows you a zone that skips the infamous traffic lights onto William Nicol Drive.
Jordy Smith (who recently signed with Buchulife) and Dusty Payne in Round 1 of the Rip Curl Pro Search in San Francisco get scared out of the water by a big shark. I think his name was Bruce. Follow the link to check it out. Video contains bonus footage of Jordy dancing and singing “Staying […]

I said goodbye to my buddy, the new 4X4 MINI Countryman, after six months of joyous adventure in and around Cape Town. From mounting pavements in Green Point, to dirt roads and the dunes of Arniston, it was nothing short of pure adventure. I also managed to squeeze in an online TV series, showing you, […]
I’m not sure if you know this, but “Whiskey” is one part of the official aviation radio alphabet. Ja, you best believe it. Which is why on 7 October last month we treated our Friday Done Jack’s Way winner, Mark, and four of his friends to a helicopter flight from the V&A Waterfront to Constantia […]
A man’s home is his castle. A women’s home is also her castle, but with more comfort and logic. And your castle ought to be everything you hoped and prayed for. When was the last time you walked into a place and thought, “Man, if I had built this house, I would have definitely perched […]
L’Heure bleue – the hour of blue. That’s the french description of the period when the sun has set, so named for the wonderful quality of the light. Now imagine celebrating this special time of day on a Friday evening between 17h00 and 20h00 at De Grendel estate, as the sun sets over the Atlantic […]
