Don’t know about you, but that’s where I’ll be killing it, as I ease into Johannesburg for a couple nights. I’m sure you will agree, it’s not the END of the world. And besides its appeal as a year-end function venue, the corporate rates are pretty damn good. It’s also pretty reasonable for families – did you know under-18s stay free? No spice!

So 2oceansvibe Radio in the car is one thing, but how can you watch news feeds whilst driving? Not to worry, the car reads it out for you! Video after the jump!

A massive thank you to GQ for bestowing the Best Dressed Man In South Africa award. We touched on it earlier on in the week, but didn’t get a chance to get the pics up (for my mum to see, to tell the truth). You can check them all out in the November issue which has dual covers – one of Christina Aguilera, and one of football genius, Jose Mourinho. So, in the meantime, here is one they took as I realised my fly was down. Whoops!
iPhone Goes To Space Father And Son Send iPhone Into Space And Record Incredible Video (VIDEO) – A father and son from Brooklyn, New York sent an iPhone into the stratosphere a few weeks ago to record a video of the earth’s curvature.

The more trendy of our London ex-pats will know of Carluccio’s Caffès – a great place to meet over a drink and simple well-prepared Italian food, made on the premises. Although one extra thing seems to have been added to their New Bond Street Carluccio’s menu – something that certainly is Italian and hand-made, but not right there on the premises!
If you managed to grab today’s Business Day, have a squizz at page 12, which features a truly informative article by Thabiso Mochiko about 2oceansvibe Radio and our union with MWEB. And if you didn’t manage to get that, you can check out the online version here.
That’s what they’re calling it over at itweb.co.za. Round these parts we call it ‘logical.’ So does Howard Stern, who is making the move from satellite radio over to internet radio. And so are a number of big players in SA! Not to mention MINI, who are launching the ‘Countryman’ soon, which comes with built-in Internet Radio!

Not the worst thing to be called – ‘Maverick,’ is it? I’m absolutely fine with it, truth be told. ‘Elegantly Wasted?’ – hey, I can work with that too. We’re big INXS fans here at 2oceansvibe anyway. What a dick (download 2-page PDF here) You know, it’s funny, that shoot took about 20 minutes. Reason […]
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 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.

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.
You ever heard a blogger say, “You want impartiality? Read a newspaper”? Ja, well, if you want impartiality, don’t read a newspaper. At least, don’t read the New Age newspaper. What’s that? You haven’t heard of the New Age newspaper? No, that’s quite alright. You’re not expected to know about it. They themselves confess that […]
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 […]
