How Seriously Do You Take Your Time?
Kevin Kelly, founding executive editor of Wired magazine and publisher of the Whole Earth Review is a pretty serious guy, at least when it comes to work.
He once said: “I decided to take the idea of number days seriously, and to revisit my earlier experience of counting down my remaining time on this lovely mortal plane...”
What he’s referring to here is known as a “Death Clock.” For Kelly, this is a physical countdown clock that sits on his desk and literally counts down the days he believes he has left on this earth.
