I want to start this off by saying that vandalism is bad.
It harms the community, and should not be viewed as any kind of positive artistic expression... but there is a lot of graffiti that can be viewed as art and some that should not be thought of as anything less. This category of graffiti is creative, leaves a positive affect on it's community, and can inspire creativity in others. I absolutely adore anything that inspires creativity, so when a friend of mine showed me WiiSpray I about wet myself.
I hope this thing gets a green light because I would love to be able to work on a digital canvas during the day and then share some of my artwork with my Wii pals. This application would probably get me to using my Wii again. The thing about WiiSpray that intrigues me the most is that it was created as part of the Master Thesis work of Martin Lihs and Frank Matuse, students at the Bauhaus University Media Department in Germany.
The best way I can put it is innovation born of education and curiosity. If that sound interesting to you, then make sure to check the teaser video and then you too will know.

Get ready to use your wiimote to shoot down and hack through some zombie mallrats folks, Capcom today announced that Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop is in development for the Wii. 
Ubisoft, announced that Protöthea is dropping in May for WiiWare here in the US. I'm not yet sure if I'm happy about that or not.
In the game players will have eight different air-to-air weapons and two different air-to-ground bombs at their disposal, and can attack however they choose. There will also be a special power that decelerates time, allowing players to easily avoid enemy fire while they are able to move rapidly and attack enemies. I love vertical scrolling shooters as they take me back, back in the day when 10 bucks worth of quarters could provide you with an entire afternoon's worth of entertainment. Let's hope the implementation of the WiiMote and Nunchuk help bring that nostalgic feeling back instead of being a painful reminder that I ain't in no arcade no more!
It's bad enough that Microsoft copies everything that Apple does and calls it its own, but now it appears that the company is trying to strike gold by Wii-ifying the Xbox.
This is getting ridiculous. It seems that if you want to improve sales of a product, all you have to do is put an iPod Dock in it. The latest example is the Razer Pro|Type keyboard, shown here. But that's not what would get me to buy a new keyboard, so I mocked up a picture of what would sell me on a new keyboard.
As reports keep pouring in (and YouTube videos keep pouring out) about windows, walls and televisions being destroyed by flying Wii remotes, Nintendo has introduced a new solution guaranteed to keep personal property safe. Voila! The Nintendo Wii-mote with Airbags! (An artist's rendition can be seen on the left.)
When the Becknells' family dog began coughing up blood, they decided to take him to the veterinarian. An x-ray showed a remote-like device in the dog's stomach, which the family thought to be a television remote, but they were wrong. It turns out that the canine swallowed a Wii-mote!! 
WIIIIIIOPLE....MOUNT UP! Yeah you heard me, I said make your Wiiople army and plop em on your Wiimote. I don't know how they interact or react yet, but I can't wait to find out. But if you are a naysayer and need some convincing...
That doesn't mean that Nintendo is stupid, [they are quite brilliant actually] it just means the realize that keeping things simple often yields better results. Offering One system configuration means no buying confusion on launch day. No one will be standing in front of a sales person asking what the difference is between the core system and the premium one, or how those differences translate for them. Nope, on launch day you just, and knowing now that new first party games are going to be $50 [no more than new GameCube titles today and $10 less than current XB360 titles] If you think about it, that puts the price of the Wii console [by itself] at the predicted sub $200 value.
