1. No, no, no!
I'm way too afraid to brick it. :scared:

I haven't yet seen a compelling reason to mod it anyway. :shrug:

2. There are some very cool things you can do with the wiimote, though
It's a bluetooth device with an internal IR camera. Johnny Lee, at Carnegie Mellon, managed to create a piece of free software, for example, which (combined with a $5 IR LED pen) can turn your screen into a digital whiteboard.

Here, check this out. It's a short video of exactly this from the 2008 TED conference.

4. I'm thinking I just might try it myself.
I use my PC on a big screen TV, so this could be something I could actually use.
