2oceansvibe partner brands are constantly winning worldwide recognition, and, whilst the brands themselves are very excited when these awards are given, I can’t say I am surprised.

My buddy Shaun Trennery over at Izimvo sent me a link yesterday about something called the “Air Display,” which is a wonderful app for my new iPad (Digicape smartly gave me a test unit, before they hit our shores – so be sure to pre-book yours!).

Things are […]
Ever wondered what the record is for the biggest human pyramid inside a moving train?

Okay, so I’ve heard about Angels with Dirty Faces and Angels in the Outfield.

Bafana Bafana continue to improve our vibe ahead of the world cup – this time by owning Guatemala in a record 5-0 win. Sure, there may have been three penalties in the mix (two of which were moderately questionable), but the other two goals were genuinely gnarly. Anyhow, while most of the country and all […]
As we reflect on the life of one of the Hollywood greats, Dennis Hopper, we observe a post-production video taken from his film The American Dreamer, circa 1971. Here we see Dennis Hopper quietly organising an orgy. The video is on YouTube so it is not overly graphic. Although I cannot comment for the drug […]
They say the sight of a smashed up Ferrari can break a man. This may be true, but I think the sight of a repair bill can be even worse. Especially for a big accident. Especially when it’s a Ferrari. Like this Ferrari, for example: 1 X whoopsie That was sent in by a few […]

And better looking, too. Didn’t you know? This sassy little individual has been released in Europe, and is on course for distribution in the US. Although, with A FRIGGING SOLAR PANEL CELL ON THE BACK (oh yeah!) you’d expect them to pump these babies to sunny South Africa in a heartbeat.
Were you there on the day they shot this? Or maybe your girlfriend was, with another guy? Or maybe your boyfriend said he was using his spare season ticket to take a friend.

It takes a recessionista’s ear to appreciate the genius of Meat Loaf. Meat Loaf has never been everyone’s cup of tea. Apart from one time in the late 70’s when Bat Out of Hell sold 48 million copies. Ok so yes, Meat Loaf was once everyone’s cup of tea, but that was before most of […]
