That was covered on slashdot.org a few years ago.  It had some
interesting ideas on presintation but it would have been more
impressive if he hadn't used a pic to ascii app for the foot work.

It doesn't diminish the impressiveness at all in my book.  It was just
a creative solution to a problem; nothing more, nothing less.

Eric's full portfolio is on-line here:

The working grandfather clock truly is a sight to see.  But naturally,
for obvious reasons, I'm most partial to the Calista Flockhard mosaic
built from Modulex bricks.  :)
