Finally we have developed the 2oceansvibe iPhone app! The app is free and you […]
It’s not just fast cars, luxury villas, beautiful models, fine clothes, good service and champagne that we care about here at 2oceansvibe. Oh no – science and technology are right up there as well. How else could we have created SilverStreak, using merely my thoughts and a strand of hair from the TBG? Correct – […]
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 […]
In case you haven’t heard, everyone hates Julian Assange. And more to the point, everyone hates WikiLeaks in general. And by “everyone”, I of course mean people with secrets to keep. Namely governments and multinational corporations. Now that’s absolutely no reflection on the merit of WikiLeak’s work, and the job that they fulfill of making […]
As we continue the crusade.. I hope everyone noticed the spice headlines on Monday and, in particular, the article about phone numbers being extinct in five to 10 years – something I have been banging on about for quite some time now. Or, more to the point, I simply believe unexpected or unplanned phone calls […]
It’s Spring Day. Wonderful, isn’t it? Sure, depending on where you are in the Southern Hemisphere, the weather might not be very Spring-like. But such is life, and the meteorological musings of our planet. The good news is that the days are getting longer, the sun is shining more regularly, animals are copulating left, right […]
Are you underpaid, undervalued, and sidelined at work? Are you feeling brave? Then QUIT! QUIT I TELL YOU! Everyone else is striking, why not one-up those public-sector amateurs? But if you’re going to do it, you absolutely have to do it in style, like (yes, we know it’s fake), or this. But writing, photography, and […]
My children, you know that every now and then I like to treat you with helpful hints and tips that will make your lives easier. We’ve already had that conversation about how we don’t make phone calls unless absolutely necessary, right? We text first. Okay? Okay. But some of you came to me recently, with […]
Sumos…Big hands = big slaps Anyone who knows a thing or two about the intricacies and nuances of life as a Sumo Wrestler (pfft, who doesn’t?) will understand that the Sumo is a creature bred for power, weight, and a surprising degree of flexibility. But they’re definitely not bred for texting, or email, or any […]
All I’m saying is 2oceansvibe Radio are broadcasting from the new MWEB store in Canal Walk on Friday! Can you imagine the chaos? And I will add to that by saying there will be a stink-load of celebrities pulling in to keep the momentum going as we keep the vibe pumping and give away prizes […]
Are you a business executive? Do you find yourself tempted to remain at work until the wee hours of the morning, churning out directional missives, illuminating memos and pep-rousing employee bulletins? You may be adding too much douche to your vocab. Not sure? Test yourself. Do you, or have you ever used one of these […]
If you pop over to the Maldives in the next few years (as one is prone to do), you might be inclined to hit an extended hang out at the airport in lieu of finding accommodation. Haptic Architects (London) and Narud Stokke Wiig Architects (Oslo) have teamed up to provide a design for the Maldives […]
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 […]
Many moons ago I featured an article about the highest definition photograph ever taken of Cape Town. The resolution was so high that you could zoom in kilometers from where the pic was taken, and check out some angels suntanning on a rooftop deck. No spice – check it out here. With Jack Parow recently […]
Durex, the international condom manufacturer have, just like every other company with a marketing team worth its salt, developed a snazzy iPhone app. Kudos to them. That said, there are a few interesting things to note in the promotional video. Say, for example, their reasoning that guys don’t use condoms while making the beast with […]
You know who Sarah Palin is, right? She’s that most painful of creatures – a self-righteous, insular hockey mom with the backing of a powerful political party. And she’s also not very bright. Which is perhaps a great reason to keep herself AWAY from social media tools, like Twitter, for instance. The great TweetMachine has […]
With the likes of the UK shutting down the FM signal completely, combined with our increased need for non-stop internet, it’s no wonder Subaru are following in Audi’s tracks by developing cars with built-in 3G. The Subaru Outback, a “crossover” SUV and yuppie icon that seems naked without a ski rack on top and several […]
Morning, kids. Are you ready for some delightfully cheery death chat? The “what happens to my online presence when I die” question has been haunting our minds in recent months, ever since the story broke about Facebook suggesting people “reconnect” or “share the latest news” with a deceased friend. Epic failure. Think about it. Twitter, […]
Deep-fried food fanatic and part-time Saint Bernard impersonator, Brendan Seery, took to his arse-end-of-the-Weekend-Argus column with a blunt knife this weekend. I had never heard of, nor read this fellow before and I must say, I’ve got nothing but love for him. How lucky we are to have a traditional media columnist, (who, according to […]
So the European Space Agency has had a bit of a revelation, and they’ve struck upon the idea to build a “remote access toolkit to rebuild the human race” on the moon. In other words, said toolkit is what evil geniuses refer to as a “doomsday ark”. Apparently, the ark will contain the essentials of […]
We’ve debated it, we’ve dealt with it, we’ve heard that it’s really bad for your hearing (well, we actually read that, we’re completely void to the world of sound now). Hell, we’ve exported it to the world. There is only one last thing to ask of the vuvuzela.
Okay, so some of you may have sniffed out the Bulwer-Lytton Award in the press recently. In a nutshell, it’s an annual prize for the most heinously horrible complete sentence known to the English language, penned in the year of the award. No, the IOL sub-editors did not clinch the prize this year. Without further […]
Sydney Restaurant, Mundo Global Tapas, may have a silly sounding name, but they are rocking the their technological potential as an eatery. Picture this: You walk into a restaurant, and instead of being handed the usual crusty leather-bound tome of a menu fitted with pseudo-brass corners, you’re handed an iPad. You think, “Cool! A pre-drinks […]
You should be well aware of Chat Roulette by now. If not, I’ll save you from sure social emboerrissment and fill you in – It basically connects you to other people with webcams. So they look at you and you look at them. If you both have microphones, you can also chat. Or you can […]
iPad dummies are available for $49, no word of lies. Yep, that’s 100% genuine fake replica right there. The dimensions are exactly the same, the weight is similar, and the plastic of the replica bears a striking resemblance to the metal and glass of the real deal. But, sadly, the brains are all missing. Where […]
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 […]
I’ll be honest, I’m settling into the iPad quite nicely and starting to incorporate it into everyday life. I genuinely find typing on it (in portrait) an absolutely pleasure, typing at virtually the same speed as I do on a normal keyboard. Look at me, being all detailed and informative, like I’m not on my […]
I featured the all new Google Maps Street View vibe the other day (on the iPad nogal), and, whilst I was able to show you some of 2oceansvibe’s favourtie landmarks, I’ve been DYING to get some roadside funnies captured by the Google Street View cameras. Finally, 24 Apollo Road in Ocean View, just outside Kommetjie, […]
Those of you following 2oceansvibe on Twitter would have seen this yesterday. You see, I was rubbing my new iPad against my body and accidentally opened up the TIME Magazine app. It’s a much celebrated iPad app and you can see why. This pic was captured as one of their five best pics of the […]
More often than not, the random assortment of gadgets that find their way onto my browser have absolutely no use whatsoever. But every now and then I stumble upon (trademark!) inventions that can truly improve our quality of life.
