Suddenly I’m awake. The air rushes into my smoke infested lungs. My eyes, cemented shut by gunk, force open into a blurry vision.

An Open Letter To Dearest Thorsten Heins (CEO Of BlackBerry)
Dearest Thorsten Heins (BlackBerry CEO) I thought I would write you an open letter, detailing my wonderful experiences with my BlackBerry device your company produces.

CTEMF x BOILERROOMtv X RBMA – Cape Town Making History!
One of the more iconic facets of electronic music is that it is a truly global phenomenon.

How To Sufficently Rock the Daisies
When you think of a power flower, one’s inherent reaction is a rose; robust, littered with thorns, and generally pretty god damn bad ass. The adversely inverted notion of a wimpy, impotent flower for “pansies”: is the daisy. And for all intents and purposes, for 362 days a year, this holds true. Yet for one [...]
Online Trolls, And The Nerd Quest For Valour
The world is a frustrating place. There are futile wars in Africa, Taylor Swift gets paid for making music and Tiger Tiger Fourways exists. The planet isn’t always the becoming little enclave of human paradise they make it out to be in travel brochures, or pornos. Basic human interaction is becoming more and more separatist, [...]
