SeisMac

Through some convergence of factors (namely, my experience trying to read the accelerometers in the Wii remote, last night’s earthquake, and this mornings blear eyed checking of the Make Blog feed) I found the application below, which turns your Macbook or Macbook Pro into a seismograph by reading the accelerometer inside. I tried it on my budget Macbook. It works. Silly me, I though only the pros had accelerometers. Great, now I have something else to play with.

I’ve been meaning to try that out.

Also, don’t miss MacSaber and iAlertU, two more cool little apps that take advantage of the sudden motion sensor.
