Three of my college friends have launched a fun product called DS Buttons. DS is Nintendo’s next generation GameBoy, a portable gaming device.
Says Sean:
The basic premise is that attaching a set of DS Buttons to an accessory will advertise to the world that you have a DS and are willing to engage in random, unsensored multiplayer action. 6 weeks ago we had an idea. Today we launch the buttons.
Calling this an impromptu product isn’t all that accurate, because they put a lot of planning into this. I love how quickly they took this simple idea live. Somewhere they also found the time to create an elegant site with a must-see, click-and-drag shopping cart.
Tom dripped an introduction before he left for Chile. The world still awaits John’s announcement.
Great job, fellas!
Update: John has added his introduction, including a great peak at how he came up with the idea.

Hey Duv,
Thanks for the kind words! As for the cart, well, that’s what happens when three nerds go, “oooo, drag and drop. Must do drag and drop.”
I had to punch John in the face to get him to agree to it. He wanted one that would work in text-only browsers. Anyway, thanks again!
Sean
