I had 55.9% of my life left at the point this post was published

  • DESIGN

I just refreshed this site's look:
The 2 new symbolsThe 2 new symbols

  1. The number in the 3 windows is the percentage of my life I have left. Read them together like this: 55.9843687%.
    1. How did I calculate it? Based on the average Vietnamese male's lifespan (by The Global Economy, 2022). Perhaps humanity can figure out immortality this decade, but I may also very well die of some other stupid cause. Best stick to the average.
  2. To the right: every post now contains the first window of % of my life left when I wrote each post (red arrow)
  3. At nine o'clock is the Vegvísir, an Icelandic symbol for navigation, representing my wish for how to spend my life well.
  4. But how do you spend a life well? I agree with Benjamin Franklin's prayer O Powerful Goodness: to continually discover where my "truest interest" is, and have the courage to do it.
  5. The design is somewhat inspired by the beautiful A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1

Why?

This creates an incredible effect of seeing how my life just ticks away (especially in Grid View!), and what kind of thought I had at the time.

Which incentivizes me to write more.

Bonus

Earlier this month, when a whole number went down 🥹:

I've been obsessed with the topic of time since forever. Unsolved.
