new nintendo controller for Revolution
On Thursday, Nintendo announced the new controller for their new “Revolution” gaming system. It’s a one-handed motion-sensitive controller! It looks very similiar to a television remote control. “For the fist time, a controller will allow you movement in every direction.

“The ultimate bag for the creative professional” That’s what Adobe is calling its new messenger bag. It looks pretty nice. It has a nice 1.6-1.8MM tumbled leather flap.
