I'm so making one of these
« on: December 11, 2007, 04:18:44 PM »
Turns the uber useful Wiimote into a multi-touch whiteboard/tablet capable device for your PC. I've been thinking of doing something like this using the actually Wiimote, but using the IR sensor looks even easier.

She broke my heart, man. Left me for some clean cut, educated,
successful bloke. She used me. I guess women only want us rugged,
cowboys for one thing. Something that I was more than capable of
providing. After that; after they get their fix, it's back to that
suburbanite security with a story they can gossip to their fellow
soccer moms about.

You know what it's like. You hunt. Like me. We're men of the land,
you and me Ober. We're a dying breed. Mens' men.  Once upon a time,
women flocked to us. They looked at us as providers in a world reliant
upon brawn and instinct for survival. What was once our most desirable
trait, primordial savagery, is now the thing that is responsible for our
loneliness. Times have changed. Men shave their legs.

You touched me with that.  Peace bro, peace.  Times.... they are changin.

If you'd scroll down in my post there are two, count them two hacks.

The first one is the finger multi-touch. The second (the reason for my post) is the whiteboard hack. Ofcourse my link is from the guy that created the video.


You're still cool in my book though perspective. :D
