FARchannel: iBoobs on iPhone
Jiggle 'em, Jiggle 'em...boobs! This application, which would have been tremendously popular amongst (wo)men obsessed with tits, was rejected by Apple as it was viewed as pornography.
Amsterdam Diamond Edition Wine Chiller
When it comes to living it up with the life of the rich and famous, it just seems, in my opinion, self-centered, materialistic people just have to maintain their wine at the perfecto temperature in a gold and diamond encrusted Amsterdam Diamond Edition wine chiller holding a price tag of $$66,350, huh?!
sideNOTE: Now we would normally mark this under our FARmotivation section, but to us it seems more like a stupidity than something motivational.
Fashion Illustrations
Rene R. Bouché was born on 1906 in Prague, Czech Republic and after traveling much during his youth, he quickly developed his talent in art. The time was 1939 when Bouché could finally convince Vogue to give him an opportunity and it was then that his work appeared in English and French issues. After being held prisoner of the World War II, Rene fled to New York where he commenced his career with the American Vogue. Not to say, by 1963, Bouché was the last of the old school illustrators employed for Vogue. View some of his illustrations and portraits below.

FARchannel: KRS-1 Books
Reading is a beautiful thing when you appreciate the content and fully comprehend it as well. The art of reading is that you can travel back in time and all around the world with the simple motion of hitting the pages to the left. Sadly to mention, the nation's reading level continues plummeting at a steady pace with no hints of recuperation. In the clip you will briefly see above shows the visionary/emcee KRS-1 touching on the subject of some of his recommended books. Enough with the typing and check it out above.

Nate Robinson at the Slam Dunk Contest
If you are like us, you would say this year's Slam Dunk Contest was a graphical mess. The only thing that keeps us watching them throughout the recent years though is the 5'7" dude from the New York Knickerbockers, Nate Robinson. We give him his kudos because he deserves the title for this year's competition. We have to say his dunk over Dwight Howard (who is 7'0") had to be the most captivating highlight of the night. What were your takes on the dunk? Also, heck out his appearance at The David Letterman Night Show below.

We truly apoligize for our missing in action with new posts here at the blog but mark our comeback today. The reason is we've been too caught up with our personal lives and by obligation had to put the blog on pause. Ya' can sing your happy songs again folks because we're coming back erected (in other words hard) with the contents that keep you going on a daily basis. And like our friend Ali De-La Soul says, "Stay yourself. Stay true."

FARcahnnel: Kanye, "Welcome to Heartbreak"
The technique used in this video is SICKamore tree! Though it does remind me of when the antenna (when they existed) on my old TV set would disconnect, loosing the clear images on the screen, and I would then try to reconnect it, lasting 30 minutes to get the right image again.
As stated on Kanye West's blog, "This is not the next single, 'Amazing' is the next single. This is the video we've been working on for the last month. We know there is another video out there using the same technique so we were forced to drop it now." Check it out above.

FARchannel: B.o.B, "Generation Lost"
Put the grand majority of the asinine music your ears have been consuming in a hiatus to listen to Atlanta's MC, B.o.B. and his latest track called, "Generation Lost." It's one of those songs that make you say, "Word" because of the truth the track consists of. The black and white video matches the lyric and its matters perfectly. Check it out above.
