Hi Aaron,
To change one bullet, take a look at the xml file of the jfk example
http://simile.mit.edu/timeline/examples/jfk/jfk.xml
and search for "Kennedy shot". Note the icon attribute on the
corresponding <event> element.
To change all bullets at once, you need to change the theme like so
theme.event.instant.icon = "http://... your own 16x16 bullet .png"
To change the size of the bubble:
theme.event.bubble.width = 400; // px
theme.event.bubble.height = 300; // px
All the theme stuff is in here:
http://simile.mit.edu/timeline/api/scripts/themes.js
You can also override the CSS rules. I'd recommend using Firebug to
check out which CSS rules are used on which element.

Cheers,
David
