As we wrap up this eventful week with the news that Jackie Selebi has been shafted, there’s no better browsing than a bizarre but thoroughly humurous site, Accidental Penis.

As South Africa is only starting to properly get into online dating, these recent stats and figures out of the US tell an amazing tale.

Cape Town’s obsession for meetings is a worldwide trend, but, given the existence of this website I’m about to show, so his the hatred for unnecessary (the majority) meetings.

It is completely BEYOND me that any “traditional media” publication could do a first-hand report (with photographs) on a lottery winner and not check the lottery numbers against the winning jackpot numbers. And not just to check the numbers, but also to have the most basic of fuck-up-sensors in their heads, telling them to check […]
Really? Well suck me sideways! I gotta be honest, it doesn’t get much easier to find deals around Cape Town.

I simply clicked today’s date and it gave […]
2oceansviber, Craig H, directed me to this absolutely stunning little website. It’s called The Oatmeal (theoatmeal.com) and it seems to cover the most random (yet well-researched) topics you could ever imagine, all presented graphically, in the most beautifully designed cartoons. Take for instance, “Five Reason Pigs Are More Awesome Than You:” Then they proceed to […]
A new website, by the name of www.stephaniekohler.co.za has gone viral in South Africa’s Twitter universe.

You might want to check out this site. They display pics of man-made solutions to technical problems in and around the house. Usually things that they could buy, but they are either obsessed with DIY or prefer to save money and do it themselves. Ie. Marcus Brain (The Kitesurfer) to a tee. Virtually all of […]
I’m *cough* sure this website has all the right intensions but, honestly, from where I’m sitting it looks tailor made for middle-age affairs and mid-life crises (yes, that is how you spell the plural of “crisis”). Time for an upgrade? Pop on down to sugarcupid.com! The website goes for this vibe – and I quote: […]

In a move which has astounded the world of traditional media and saluted the world of digital media and technology in general, an off-the-record statement about rapper Kanye West, made by American president (and very close friend of mine), Barack Obama, was released on Twitter and circulated the globe within seconds; reaching YOU – right […]

Traditional media is under the spotlight again today. This, not long after our recent article discussing local traditional advertising agencies and their thirst for awards vs. actually getting their client’s message out and connecting with consumers (here).

I referred to a website the other day called Behind The Scenes. You can check it out at www.behindthescene.co.za It’s by a Cape town guy living in London.

Cape Town suffers from late night drunk texts just as much (possibly a tad more) as the rest of the world. You know the ones. When you wake up in the morning and see a string of “WHERE ARE YOU???” texts and booty calls from various girls and boys, sent at 3am. Or, should I […]

One of the down sides about having Google AdSense ads displayed on one’s website is they have a mind of their own. And by “down” sides, I mean “hilarious” sides. How Google AdSense works, is the code which produces the ad actually reads your webpage and will publish an ad depending on the content – […]

It started yesterday when Martin L from Diletto emailed me mentioning something about 2oceansvibe being down.

He wrote back confirming […]
