Sandton City Renovation Upgrade

Almost two years ago we saw Sandton City begin its transformation of a R1,77-billion ‘masterplan’, which includes refurbishment of the existing centre, addition of 30 000 m2 of new retail space, improved access and additional parking bays.

But the ‘masterplan’ part?? Behold…

You see the second building from the left? That’s the existing landmark tower that’s graced the JHB skyline for decades. That means the bad boy on the far left is new – 80 stories of glamour to be precise! I believe that may make this building the tallest in the southern hemisphere.

216 Balls of Awesomeness!

Have you seen the Neocube before?

Maybe you recognize it as the the cyber cube, magcube, nanodots, zen magnets, buckeye balls or the neo cube? Who cares. It’s basically 216 magnets that combined together let you create zillions of 2D patterns and 3d shapes at the office, at home, on the Gautrain or on the toilet if you like.

The point I’m sharing with you here today is that it’s just plain awesome, and Neocube South Africa has released a limited number of these amazing magnetic puzzles (toys, gadgets, gizmos, stress releiver, etc) into the local market on a first come first serve basis.

Head over to www.neocube.co.za to find out more about the magic of neodymium rare earth magnets or just visit Neocube South Africa to buy your Neocube now!

Great Restaurant Advertising

If you take a look back at when I showed you how to prepare an amazing fillet steak, you’ll understand that I’m quite the meat-eater. So it makes perfect sense why I think this advert is great:

Get it? Get it? Right next to the mashed potatoes! Awesome!

iPhone 4 Arriving June 24.

Apple puts it pretty well:

“While everyone else was busy trying to keep up with iPhone, we were busy creating amazing new features that make iPhone more powerful, easier to use, and more indispensable than ever. The result is iPhone 4. The biggest thing to happen to iPhone since iPhone.”

I’ve got to agree! Just look at it and see some of the highlighted features!

FaceTime

People have been dreaming about video calling for decades. And yes, some phones have attempted to deliver video chat, but lets face it, it was shit! iPhone 4 makes it a reality to share a smile from across the globe over Wi-Fi. And it works right out of the box. No other phone makes staying in touch this much fun.

Retina Display

This is plainly the sharpest, most vibrant, highest-resolution phone screen ever, with four times the pixel count of previous iPhone models. In fact, the pixel density is so high that the human eye is unable to distinguish individual pixels. Which makes text amazingly crisp and images stunningly sharp.

Multitasking

Now you can run your favorite third-party apps — and switch between them instantly — without slowing down the performance of the foreground app or draining the battery unnecessarily. No other phones do this!

HD video recording and editing

You can shoot your own movies in high definition. Let me repeat that: You can shoot your own movies in high definition! Even in low-light settings, thanks to a backside illumination sensor and built-in LED light. Then edit and create your own mini-masterpiece right on iPhone 4 using the new iMovie app that has themes, titles, and transitions.

5-Megapixel Camera with LED Flash

The new 5-megapixel camera has a built-in LED flash. The advanced backside illumination sensor captures great pictures even in low light. And the new front-facing camera makes it easy to take self-portraits. Bang!

And you can get a variety of skins to dress it up too:

While you’re here, go see an iPod Shuffle covered in sweet chocolate.

Gold Bugatti Veyron Model Goes for R22m

You’ve got to love this 1:18 scale model of a Bugati Veyron in solid 24ct gold and platinum with 7 carats of single cut flawless diamonds…

This bad boy weighs in at roughly 7kg and comes with functional steering and operational hoods, certification of authenticity, glass house, aluminum case and photo documentation of the manufacturing process.

It took 2 months to finish and only three will be available. It’s only £2 million (thats only about R22m). No sweat!

Small trip to Lory Park Zoo

The not-so-well-known Lory Park Zoo in Midrand is amazing! I’m not a supporter of confined animals, but I was really impressed by the quality of the venue and the food that the animals are fed… “their coats are gorgeous!” one lady exclaimed!?

Effen Great Ads!

So I’ve never heard of this Effen Vodka and personally I’m not sure what the product naming perks are besides two classic ads?
