Johnny Lee has been featured here many times for all of his Wiimote hacks. If you want to learn more about him, have a look at this Interview with Johnny Lee over at Hacked Gadgets.
AP: Your Wii projects have been taking the Web by storm! What attracted you to the Wiimote

JL: Well, I was excited by the Wii Remote ever since the original press release about it’s capabilities was public. Ironically, I was an intern at Microsoft the summer before the Xbox 360 was launched. Several internal people, including me, were still trying to convince the Xbox group they should put an accelerometer into the controller. That, of course, didn’t happen. The Wii remote is one of the most sophisticated input devices available today and an amazing piece of engineering containing an accelerometer, camera, and wireless communication. Combined with the ease in which you can connect it to a computer made it an obvious choice for experimentation.
