(me :-), but...)

You have a portable Mac? Utilize it's hard disk motion sensors to play games (or change virtual desktops by slapping it). This feature was originally added to provide hard disk security when your mac falled down, but some people hijacked the signals and made an API which can be used to track motion. It exists on most models released the recent years.

I've seen it in a MacBook Pro yesterday and it was simply amazing :-).

EDIT: more games

There's also a Dashboard widget that uses your machine's sudden motion sensor to determine whether or not it's sitting on a level plane.

Apparently my desk is crooked.

I've got a motion sensor on my PC!

It's... my mouse.

Better yet, download the drivers that let bluetooth enabled Macs read data from the wiimote. And make a game!
