Lurking in the back of my mind was a little thought - several folks

Just found it - Lady Ada (Limor Fried http://www.ladyada.net/bio/index.html)
did one in 2003 http://www.ladyada.net/portfolio/2003/index.html .
Anyone know of an earlier one?

Well, I used an accelerometer in my Nixie watch as early as 2002 to tell
it when to display the time, but I used reed switches to set the time
magnetically.
The accelerometer is a wonderful little gadget. They can be had, mounted
to breakout boards:
