Carpenters' Level OS X Dashboard widget

by Jordan Running on January 24, 2006 at 04:40 PM

Carpenters' Level widgetYep, more fun with the built-in accelerometer ("sudden motion sensor") in Apple laptops: Pall Thayer has a Dashboard widget that looks and works just like a carpenters' level, showing the tilt of your PowerBook or iBook with a little virtual air bubble in a little virtual green glass vial. Available free from Thayer's site or from Apple. Cool.
