For those of you who dont know I like dem Apples, after all I have a MacBook Pro, iMac and even a Mac Pro at work, however I dont have an iPhone for me its got to be a nokia anyhooo Nick has just sent me this video and now my side hurt:

Its scary when you think like an evil dictator, roll on courier and for those who cant wait, theres always the archos 9. You cant help be left with the thought that they just had to be 2nd!

wiimotemods changed again

admin — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 20:24:27 +0000

Its been less than a fortnight and wiimotemods has had another face lift. For those not in the know:

Wiimotemods hosts tutorials and guides for Nintendo enthusiasts looking to personalize their wiimote.

It seems wiimotemods have finally opted to ditch the blogging style in favor of a more in house content defined presentation.

On the whole this is good thing, but personally I find it a shame (I’m just being selfish) , as I used the site as a primary point of contact into the world of wiimote modding.

But hey ho thats progress and the site is still one of the best of its ilk. Now featured directly from the main page wiimotemods Modding Guides include:

Player Indicator - Guide describing how to change the player indicator LEDs to match Nintendo’s color scheme.
Easy A Backlight -Guide describing how to easily install a single LED to backlight the A button on the wiimote.
Wiimote Repair -If you’ve modded your wiimote and now it doesn’t work, this article may help you fix it.
Multicolour A Backlight -This guide describes the multicolour version of installing a backlight for the wiimote’s A button.
Smart A Worklog - A worklog detailing the steps to creating the Smart A mod.
Smart A Install -A companion install guide for the Smart A worklog.
LED Rumble – A mod to install a LED that flashes whenever the wiimote rumbles.
Nunchuck LED – Enhances your nunchuck attachment with a backlight.
SMD LED Removal -A primer for those who have never worked with SMD (surface mount) components before.

I have archived an image of the current site here for prosperity.

WiimoteMods Facelift

admin — Sat, 12 Jan 2008 22:00:54 +0000

The WiimoteMods site is now back online — the site has changed hosts and is now also sporting a new layout, based on the BloggingPro theme, with a few adjustments here and there.

The forums are currently down, but are due to be back up within the week. For all of you who don’t know wiimotemods is one of the best resources for all things wii. If you have never visited the site and are into wii development, go check it out.
