Egos will feed while citizens bleed, that's always the way it goes.
As promised: a guide that should answer most questions.
This article has been split into two parts:
Part 1 (posted below) deals with the making of a trimmed down Wii-mote base that can act as a starting point for more complicated mods.
In Part 2 I’ll focus on taking that base and making it into the Mini-mote & Nunchuk, a very minimalistic mod.
You can also skip all that and go see my separate post of the end results posted here

The silence has been deafening.
I had to upgrade/change server/host and this took a bit longer than I had thought/hoped for, ruining my smoothness. But now it’s done and that should mean no more bad service/outages.
Also: from now on I’ll try to post original stuff/material at least once a week (aiming for twice), posting Tuesdays (and Thursdays).
Mine will be a mixed bag of projects… more… »
Full body Wii-mote & Nunchuk modification. The first in a series of Wii-mote modifications that will be posted here in the coming months.
Made with 3 kinds of 100% natural hemp string on the outside (while remaining 100% functional on the inside).
In stark contrast to the original Wii-mote set; what was once sleek, white and hard plastic has now become a slightly fuzzy, natural and textured concoction. No more bland, branded and boring but mottled, flawfull, rough and just a tad sweat absorbing.
The Hemp-Mote is absolutely playable, all buttons, accelerometers and the infrared camera accounted for. Unfortunately its exterior is also quite fragile and prone to degeneration (As far as game controllers go), and being in this raw state makes it more of a show-case piece than a daily replacement.
Made from a 195 yummy square dough lines in about 6 hours. Highlights: flour, sugar, butter, egg, vanilla sugar, salt, Red #40, Blue#2 & the lovely titanium dioxide.

Thanks to the great pixel-cookie tutorial at Instructables and this photostream made by SeattleJonman.
The sprite used (pictured on the right) is a 4-color simplification of the one found here, and was originally featured in the SNES game Super Mario All-stars.
Full disclosure: This was a test cookie to learn the process (I was quite the pixel-cookie noob). It was made from several slightly different mixes of dough, and built over several sessions (being frozen in between). This makes it less fit for consumption but still quite nice to look at.
