Phonejoy is a Bluetooth GamePad Compatible With Android
Folks have been long working on many solutions for gaming-types to use Bluetooth controllers with their Android devices to play certain Android games. The most obvious use case is with an emulator that is more natural to use with a controller than with on-screen controls.
One eagle-eyed gent found what’s being called the “Phonejoy” in China. It was meant to work with Windows Phone 7 devices, but he and some developers got together to get it working for Android 2.2 devices. (And we imagine later versions of Android will soon be supported after further development work is done.)
Unfortunately these are in very limited supply. Our tipster – Martin – says that about 30 devices are being produced and will be put up for sale shortly, but we’re not sure what channels you’ll need to go through to get one as we don’t imagine they’ll be making their trek across the pacific. [Thanks Martin!]

Urban Accents - Manhole And Sewer Cover Throw Pillows By In The Seam.

Typically one does not want to rest their head on a manhole cover. Not unless it's one of the fun inkjet printed throw pillows by Rhonda of Brooklyn'sIn the Seam.

Available in two sizes, Rhonda has created round comfy throw pillows with images of manhole, or sewer, covers (both domestic and international) from photographs she took herself. The gritty urban imagery is surprisingly neutral when mixed with both modern and antique interiors.
