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.

At least they are honest about it
Forwarding wids in WidSets
Anina, who knows more about how to hack mobiles than I ever will, was surprised when I told her she could easily forward a wid from WidSets. Of course, she malevolently cackled about sending her 360 Fashion wid to all her friends.
Basically, you select a wid, go to the options->widget->send, enter the phone number or select from your address book, and off it goes.
If the person already has a WidSets account, it will show up in their main WidSets wid (that is, if they have it on their phone still), from which they can then add it to their collection.
But, here is another place where WidSets kicks butt – if the person doesn’t have an account, WidSets sends them an SMS to download the app with the wid already in it. AND WidSets also sends them a temporary username and password, making it really easy for them to start using WidSets.
That’s clever.
Indeed, if you haven’t used it in a while, go check it out again. There is now more interactivity, such as entering tagnames or search terms, finding new wids from the phone and loading them, and so on. Heck, you really don’t need to go to the desktop version much.
And BTW, this is Anina’s wid that she made for her 360 Fashion. I think she hacked WidSets to get it to do what she wanted it to do or look like.
