It’s quite important that you watch this video, as it will no doubt appear in text books in years to come.

I just love the way models always […]
Political views and campaign promises aside, Barack Obama seems like a pretty cool guy. Often he indulges not-so-serious questions, jokes with reporters and he always seems to keep a level head in just about any situation. At a recent fundraiser in Harlem he once again demonstrated his ability to keep it real.
November 25 2011 marked the last of 2oceansvibe and Jack Daniel’s 2011 missions to liberate South Africa’s work force from their Friday Afternoon shackles.

I get a kick out of liberating people, and the more that experience the freedom one feels when logged into one’s own US iTunes account, the better. And guess what, ANYBODY can get a US iTunes account. You don’t need to live in America and you don’t need an American credit card.
I swear. Click “Continue Reading” for more..

Brad also continues his habit of […]

Jeb Corliss has dedicated his life to human flight, and in so doing often makes the seemingly impossible a reality. He is one of the world’s foremost and best-known BASE-jumpers and wingsuit pilots.

Durban, the sweaty sticky place of my birth. Salty, thick air, slops, shorts, bananas and spice. If Capetonians are laid-back, it is because they’re stoned. In Durban people are simply mellow. It’s built in, climatic. It takes longer to walk through the weighty, humid air. As I was buffeted by this wall of jungle breath, and a filmy layer of sweat – that would remain with me for the next 10 days – formed, I wondered what wines would suit such a climate. And, more importantly, where could I get them?
I was lucky enough to watch this new David Fincher film starring Daniel Craig before it came out and I have been carrying on about it to anyone who will listen ever since. The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is a fantastic film and brilliantly satisfying remake of the Swedish film with the same […]

In previous columns here I have gone on ad-nauseum about us needing to be more interested in wine. But I thought, maybe I can attack this from the reverse today. If I can get someone to consider the aesthetic of a wine, then maybe it will result in more of an interest. It’s a long shot. You may be thinking that I am being a pretentious wooly-hat-wearing hipster knob-end talking about the aesthetic of wine. I may have to give you the benefit of the doubt; although the wooly hat is very comfortable. Sod it, I’ll give it a go.
I found myself in London the weekend before last, attending my first “press junket.” It was for the remake of the Swedish film The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, starring Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara.
