I just set up a wiimote whiteboard. If you don't know what that is, check my bio; you can make your own for about $50-$70. The hardest part was getting the wiimote in a good position to pick up the LED. I had to use my Rockband mic stand. I'm just using my LCD screen with my desktop, and writing on that surface gets tiring to the arms. However, if you've got a notebook, you can fold the screen horozontally so assuming you can get your wiimote pointed correctly, you're at an advantage.

Oh, I made a little something to drive the point home:

You don't own a Wii. Did you just buy a Wii Remote for this?

The IR pen is really crappy, but I learned a lot from making it. Hopefully, when this one shorts out or something, my next one will be better.

I've run out of money. :P

I wont have any more to spend on frivolous electronics until I get my next check at the end of the semester. I do want a Wii, but it's a little expensive and there are only a few games that I want to play.
