A tamagotchi-style desktop pet duck
This little guy will hang out on your monitor and keep you company. If the happiness levels aren't changed, he'll "get mad" after about a minute. Mouse over him (shows a subtle/happy reponse) or doubble click on him (big reaction and plays a quack soundbite) to reset his happy countdown. My current use for him is to change the happiness level to a higher number (250) and give myself about 20 minutes before he reacts. Whenever I take a water break, I inteact with him. If I look up and he's mad, I know I haven't been drinking enough water.

For it to work as-is, you'll need to move the mp3 to the same directory as your script. Otherwise, change the code to reflect the file path.
