That rocks!  I scored a Wii today so I may have to give that a go.

You could always buy just the remote  :-D

I think he's offering his software as a free download on his website.

Indeed, he is.

There are actually a lot of wiimote videos out there.

http://www.wiili.org/index.php/Videos:Cool_stuff_to_do_with_your_Wiimote

I heard that they've made the Wii SDK "affordable" so I went and looked.  I suppose in the business world, 2K (for the base license) isn't so bad, but I'm sure as hell not going to pay it.  In other news, I can start to develop flash games that use the Wiimote.

I've been giving a lot of thought as to how to make a kiteboarding sim using the wiimote.

Be sure to design your video games in Visual Basic.  I hear that's what the masters do.

I wish I still had the photo of the VB game master with his gun and the MS paint skills to replace the gun with a Wii-mote.

It's nice to know that in this world some things never change.
