I agree with Mimi on this one.
I love the concept of the fish eye or similar concepts like "zoom and pan" (taken from cad programs), they have demonstrated to be really useful.
But what I agree most has to do with what I wrote on a previous e mail:
White spaces mean something to the user, that is to say, how much free time one has, although it may not have text in them or events, that doesn´t mean they are not transmitting something.

We would want to offer both though, I think: Fisheye and Regular time  intervals. Fisheye is helpful for when you are interested in  examining the details of your data. However, the distortion makes it  hard to get an overall sense of how busy you are. So we would want to  provide a mechanism for toggling between Fisheye and Regular views.
