Frank 151 Pieces Presents: Gourmet



Gourmet is an indie footwear brand based on the passion that goes into cooking Italian cuisine. I personally love cooking and design so, naturally Gourmet is one of my favorite indie brands out. In a market of over done products you learn to love and appreciate the clean and sophisticated presentation of Gourmet's footwear. Not to mention, Gourmet is run by some real cool people.

Steve Jobs Strikes Again...

You sir...will have signal problems!

via physorg.com

Apple wants owners of its latest generation iPhone to get a proper grip on the handset. As analysts on Friday fired off predictions that opening day iPhone 4 sales would easily top a million, Apple dismissed complaints that cupping the smartphones in a way that covered the lower left corner cut signal strength.

Apple advised users who experience the signal problem to "avoid gripping it in the lower left corner in a way that covers both sides of the black strip in the metal band, or simply use one of many available cases."

The problem could be fixed by moving one's hand or encasing iPhones in rubber "bumper" frames that Apple sells for 30 dollars.

- This dude Jobs will always find a way to squeeze every last penny from the consumer's' "I want anything and everything apple, savings account" !!!

Steve Jobs is like the Diddy of the tech game.

Summer Summer...Summer Tiiiiime!

As well as being the first day of summer, yesterday was Make Music New York day. Every June 21st New york explodes in a one day festival of 1,000 free concerts in parks and streets citywide. Its pretty amazing to know that from 10am through 10pm New York city is jamming simultaneously in over 1,000 venues. This is what makes New York so great! New York's attention to the arts has generated and inspired many of our greatest musicians. There couldn't have been a better way to jump start the summer. Summer is a time for unity and between listening to some of the greatest music of the year and watching the World Cup, we watch our world unify in harmony despite what goes on around us.

Here's a little collection of photos I took for this day along with some photos i feel represent summer. Peace y'all, enjoy!

Video: JOONIE - SO FLY



Something that is totally taken for granted know a days is a crisp, clean delivery and Joonie has that. His ability to play the pinao with finesse is complimentary to the natural rawness that RnB is. There is no doubt that Joonie is having fun and that's what it's all about. It's much appreciated to have a positive personality in a game were it is very much needed. Hopefully we hear more from the talent that is Joonie.

-Calvin “JOONIE” Gary, Jr. is an American singer, songwriter, arranger and musician, specializing in Soul, R&B and Popular Music. He has written for and collaborated with Ruben Studdard, Elliot Yamin, Nappy Roots, Angie Stone and Mos Def (unreleased). Currently his music is featured in the BET movie "I Do, I Did". Joonie's debut album, “Acoustic Love”, was released April 27, 2010 and is “real music”. As JOONIE says, “Each of my songs is like a child. I like to take time with each one, nurture it and guide it into maturity until it is ready to be shared. My goal is to create music that actually touches your soul, puts a smile on your face and makes you feel loved.”

Water, Oil and Hurricanes

With Hurricane season on the go, the likes of a hurricane entering the Gulf of Mexico is very plausible. The question is...will a potential hurricane entering the gulf of Mexico be effected by the BP oil spill? Most likely not but, as you may imagine the winds will force the oil up shore at an unexpected rate.

Hoverboard Replica



The hoverboard From French artist Nils Guadagnin is not powerful enough to lift for anyone to ride it but, cool enough to look at. Integrated into the board and the plinth is an electromagnetic system which levitates the board. A laser system stabilises the object in the air. Great Scott!!!
