Wii is cool. Dave Harper and gang make it cooler.
In a stunt of pure hackery, Dave and pals cooked up a WordPress plug-in that automatically renders pages for the Wii browser.
It's a great example of how when sytems are open to pure and beautiful hackery, users will find clever new ways to bridge design issues the original designers had never thought of or would ever be able to cater to.
It's never really about tools, but about construction kits.

WordPress Wii Edition is a plugin that shows an interface designed for the Nintendo Wii when visitors come to your site on a Wii with the Opera browser. Wii’s are automatically detected, there is no configuration needed. Inspired by Alex King’s Mobile Plugin
