Wow. This is totally cool! I like how simple your implementation is. I can see this is not only useful as timeline of important life events, but also in recording company milestones.

Congrates, man!

Thanks :) Haven't really thought of company milestones... but I guess you're right!

My quick web search didn't show anything without caveats, but if there's any decent javascript that can be used to make the mouse wheel scroll the page sideways, that would be a really nice addition.

This is really nice. Definitely going to make my own.

My favorite part of your description:

  How about Facebook timeline? Meh.

I thought of that too, probably using some 'mousewheel' event, but later I realise the page height may grow as well (with vertical scrollbar) depending on the number of events.

I've been following Cheeaun's work for a few years now. The guy writes plugins for various tools, always hacking away at things. It's quite entertaining to see what he comes up with next.

I'm curious about why you chose the horizontal plane in the first place, given that the web defaults to vertical.

Nice. I would like to navigate clicking. Also, I would like to see pictures.
