[Matt Cutts], head developer for google’s anti spam team, describes how to attach a Wii balance board to a linux computer. He even shows how to make a GUI to show the input. The entire project is done in about 200 lines of python.The process assumes that you can already make a bluetooth connection to a WiiMote, but if you can’t, he’s got instructions for that too.

Cool!
This would be awesome for neverball
Hmm, this just gave me an idea. I wonder how easy it would be to make the balance board bigger.
@maki: +1
Trying that trick with my Amiga would undoubtedly lead to a guru meditation error.
Dudes, neverball is hard *enough* with a mouse.
@exlud: it probably would, you’d be a heck of a lot calmer though
Sorry guys, neverball would be cool, but seriously, tux racer all the way ;) (sorry couldn’t help myself) :P
First person to play through doom with this wins 1000 intarwebs!
if the numbers in the lower right are weight like he says.. i certainly hope thats in kilos and not pounds.
of course, it could just be pressure as well.
