Yves Béhar's seven-hour vibrator
Yves Béhar (who is in an epic struggle with Marc Newson to claim the title of "sexiest industrial designer alive") designed this vibrator. It looks like a Miyazaki cartoon creature.

HELP! New interface ugly as hell, who do I chew out for using blinding contrast and silly balloon font??!!
Wow! Thanks for this bit of history. He is reported to have given his cousin, B.B. King, his 1st guitar (Wiki lookup). I love National Steel guitars old or new.
What a badass. I never knew that his real name was actually "Booker" (thanks wiki).
Thank you for calling him by his real name Booker instead of the rather insulting "Bukka".
wow, i don't know where to place this comment, so i'll just put it on the first page i read. i echo sean above, the redesign is unsightly, and also a pain. it looks like an old version of the instructables site or something.
Awww yeah, Bukka! Looks weird to me to see it sanitized to Booker--doubly weird in Comic Sans Bold, or whatever this new font is.
Nice clip...
This song has the same music as his most well known song: Parchman Farm Blues
Blues music is like that sometimes.
The European tours of the 1960's by Booker and others are available on DVD.
The new look is quite awful, but reducing the saturation of the sidebar and topbar would go a long way toward improving it. In other words: not so black, not so red!
The slapping technique flamenco style guitar playing.
I love the music. But I'm with the others on the redesign. It hurts...
