According to statistics, today I have fifty years left. Wow, I'm not middle-aged after all! Forty is the new thirty!
I've been thinking about my second act lately, and this helps put it in perspective. It looks like I have enough time for two more acts before I get cut down by the reaper (maybe more, if you listen to some folks). Then of course, we could all get swallowed up in the Rapture of the Nerds before that – if we do, I hope it looks better than MySpace.
Wired founder Kevin Kelly came up with this as a motivational tool: he has a countdown on his desktop that tells him how many days he has left. This keeps him focused; everything else can be bought, but more lifespan does not currently scale.
My sell-by date: 28 September 2057. I have 18,263 days left; roughly 1.6 gigaseconds. Stay tuned for the agenda.

Nice way to keep you focused hon!
I find the thought of this truly frightening.
