I spent today doing two things. 1) Making the thing that suspends the Wiimote above my desk. 2) Making the modifications to a glove so that it’ll hold the LED assembly I made yesterday.

And since I’m going to be taking more pictures than should be shown here, I’ve created a Flickr set documenting the process of this project.

And finally, a little walk-thru of the stuff in meat-space:
