Wired Co-Founder's Death Clock
BoingBoing reports on Wired co-founder Kevin Kelly's latest creation -- a personal countdown clock that shows him how many days of life he has left. He came up with the Web-based clock to remind himself to make the best use of his remaining 8,500 days.
"I am now 55 years old. Like a lot of people in middle age my late-night thoughts bend to contemplations about how short my remaining time is. Even with increasing longevity there is not enough time to do all that I want," he wrote.
"My hope was that a reckoning of my numbered days would help me account for how I spend each precious 24 hours, and to focus my attention and energy on those few tasks and projects I deem most important to me. Indeed, it might help me decide which ones are most important, which is the harder assignment," he added.
I guess that Kelly believes when you're eligible for Denny's senior menu, you really have to start taking stock of life... and death. Now, that's deep.
