Enter IGUGU’s Gamecore, a wireless controller featuring a trackball, direction pad, joystick, programmable action buttons, a full QWERTY keyboard and six accelerometers that accurately detect your movements.

Not only does this open up a wealth of game-controlling possibilities, but because the system is PC based it can run 99% of all PC games and all Internet-based ones. That’s something your console-owning friends can’t boast.

It can all link up to your TV either via VGA or HDMI input. You just need a receiver near to your TV and you’re free to go wireless.

OK, so wireless controllers aren’t exactly new in the console arena, but if you’re approaching a serious PC gamer, this could be what your setup needs.

What’s more, it’s expected to retail for just $79, which doesn’t sound at all bad to me. You don’t need any new games, either, though once you start playing you may well want to get some more.

Though I do not mean that question to be taken literally, I am pretty sure that many of you (this includes me!) have actually used their netbooks or mobile phones in the bathroom. Anyhow, I ordered some nice soaps – yes the kind that you use to wash your hands – from Etsy a couple of months ago.

As you can surmise, I am on an Etsy roll…so what about these soaps? The Etsy shop that sells this soap is Digital Soap, run by Chrystal. She makes natural soaps, without using animal products, detergents, and the like. All her products are also NOT tested on animals, so if you’re sensitive that way, Chrystal’s products are safe for you.

The best thing about her soaps are their shapes! The set that I ordered included a couple of PS3 controller soaps and a mobile phone soap. I actually got them as a joke for my husband who, for some reason, does not think that washing his hands more than once a day is necessary. I was thinking that if the soap were shaped as a controller, he might actually be enticed to use it.

Seriously though, Chrystal’s soaps are so cool. They smell great and they serve as awesome conversation pieces when you have guests.
