I just made Eric the coolest thing! I bought an old, cool, but scratched-up record from the Salivation Army, drilled out the hole a little and installed a clock mechanism and hands. Then I painted some little wooden numbers gold to match the hands and glued them on the vinyl. I suppose this is SO last year (or something), but I've never heard of it - I thunk it up all by myself :-) (I'd post a pic, but I don't have a digital camera).
