Spreadsheet of Memories

Imagine a timeline of your life's experiences in a spreadsheet... for better or worse, I *can* imagine that - as I can relate to almost anything in a spreadsheet, and I can relate to the author of Hyperwest.net in his perception that "the days, weeks and months are just slipping by". Well he decided to start tracking his life in a spreadsheet timeline - in his words: "It's important to keep track of milestones in our lives -- big or small -- and I envision a future when everything you do, or did, will simply be online and interfaced with everyone else's lives. With each other's permission of course.". So he's included Jobs, relationships, residences, Trips, Events and more... Jon: please go check out MIT's Simile Timeline - and hook these two up...
