    Here’s a weird project. Instead of using a Wii Balance Board to play those Wii Fitness and such games, disassemble the hardware and stuff it into a pair of perfectly good Nikes. I’m not sure it’s entirely practical in this case, but my gadget-sense seems to think that sensor-equipped shoes will be coming with games some time in the near future. They won’t have tentacles you have to attach to your waist, though.
