That was terrible presentation. That would have worked much better as a document than as a slide.
Aesthetic criticism aside, isn't this something that some OSes already have? Mac OS X lets you see all the files you edited yesterday, for instance. Doesn't that negate the need for a journal, or is there something I'm missing?

This was, in order of addition (but not necessarily replacement), the command line, the desktop, and most recently the "media center" menu. Having the computer start up with a calendar or infinite time-line filling the screen, and remain so when idle, would certainly encourage the metaphor.
