Widget Watch: Carpenter's level

Now this is a cool widget. The Carpenter's Level is a Dashboard widget that responds to your (so equipped) iBook or Powerbook's built-in motion detector. Tilt your laptop to the left or right and watch the bubble move. This widget has been written to go to "sleep" when Dashboard is inactive, so don't worry about it continually monitoring your laptop's position in space.

I don't have an iBook or Powerbook that I could try this with, so if you do, please post your experience in the comments. If you're a carpenter who actually gives this a try on the job site, we definitely want to hear from you.
