This is kinda cool - a handheld "furry" wireless mouse like device created by Patrick Baudisch from Microsoft Research - the video includes instructions for building the device.

  not on this version of the soap device - I don't see why that wouldn't be possible with different underlying hardware though.

  Mike Hall, a guy who works at Microsoft, occasionally has nifty things on his blog. This one is no exception. I will have to try it out and see how it feels....
