Thanks! Although, I envisioned my "tag focus" feature as being more like scrolling, than zooming. In a sense it's like Spaces in Leopard, where you scroll this spatial hierarchal journal around to find the containing the page with the document (activity instance) you're interested in. In my mockup with the gray 'XO' in the corner, I imagine the corner it goes to would represent the corner it "came from", and the transition into the "tag focus" would be a smooth one. > Second, independent of whether we adopt your exact proposal, we can and > should think about providing subtle configuration ability for things > like views.

In my proposal I'm replacing the home screen with a similar looking view of the journal, so in my system these other views would be views *of the journal*, which I think is much more interesting! Here's another 'view' that could be selected (or made default): http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Wade/Ideas/Journal_Timeline I'm sure there are lots more possible, and it would be great to have them easily extensible.
