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...

Data: Church Attendance by Income

Political Animal is a, you guessed it, political blog as part of Washington Monthly... They took posted some data about church attendance mapped to median incomes and someone on the post commented with a spreadsheet in return showing the data and the chart re-created. Worth a look as an example of a scatter chart.
