Get yourself a ticker

No, not a new heart, but this http://www.tickerfactory.com/ezticker/ticker_designer.php

It's quite fun, for example using "Event" you can put a ticker in your forum signature and it will increase 1 day per day.

I have seen these for pregnancy, weight loss, and countdowns to events such as weddings, sporting events and elections.
