Hey, check out Anil Dash’s cool tabular calendar, summarizing the history of his blog. I liked it so much that I made one, too. Hmm, I can think of lots of different ways to organize it, will have to try some alternatives. Thanks, Anil!

Another more compact option would be <a href="http://justinsomnia.org/2005/04/monthchunks-howto/">monthchunks</a>.

There is very good plugin to do this with wordpress: Extended live archive.

You can see it in action here

In "When", the months go from top to bottom, but on the pages for individual months, the days go from bottom to top. This confused me.

I like the idea. Flipping the axis would provide more room for years of expansion.

Seems like a good visualization for things where the number of items per month varies, or there may not be any. What about tying in tagcloud-style text-weighting?
