Turn an Optical Mouse into a Scanner

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the because-you-can dept.

John H. Doe writes "This student was bored one day, so he decided to see what the world looked like from the bottom of his optical mouse. He jury rigged a few wires to his parallel port and wrote a program to take a look. And seeing as how one thing a mouse does is to detect motion, made it into a ghetto b&w handscanner. "

    What about the way that naked men turn Z00L00K's flaccid penis into a fully erect one, and then into a flaccid one again (with empty testes)? Is that a good hack?
