Life Calendar




This might seem a little morbid, but the moral is "Carpe diem.". The image below has 25,567 circles on it: one for each day in 70 years, which is about as long as I can expect to live. The spiral goes from the inside, counter-clockwise to the outside. The filled circles represent the number of days I've lived. Today is March 20th, 2006 (my birthday, marked in grey), and each year is a loop around the spiral. Here's the pdf of the file. Here's the code to generate a PostScript file of your life if you're interested. (To run just do a.out > "mylife.ps".)
