Not sure if anyone here has seen/posted this before...
This Lee dude kicks ass! I'm thinking of getting myself a Wii remote and building a small infra red pen LED, this way I can place the remote somewhere close to my 47" LCD (a black Wii remote would look nice, maybe on the TV stand pointing to the screen?) and keep the LED pen somewhere close by. This way I won't need to turn on my crappy unstable wireless mouse and look for a good enough surface when I just want to quickly open something (winamp, browser etc.) on my Media Center PC (hooked up to the TV of course)

"As of June 2008, Nintendo has sold nearly 30 million Wii game consoles. This significantly exceeds the number of Tablet PCs in use today according to even the most generous estimates of Tablet PC sales. This makes the Wii Remote one of the most common computer input devices in the world. It also happens to be one of the most sophisticated. It contains a 1024x768 infrared camera with built-in hardware blob tracking of up to 4 points at 100Hz. This significantly out performs any PC "webcam" available today. It also contains a +/-3g 8-bit 3-axis accelerometer also operating at 100Hz and an expandsion port for even more capability. These projects are an effort to explore and demonstrate applications that the millions of Wii Remotes in world readily support."
