Fun ways to visualise date/time data

I'm putting together a list of time/date stamps of a person's activity. I'm looking for fun ways to visualise them so it's easy to pick patterns and interesting exceptions out.

I've already graphed them by hour, day and hour vs day in a grid. I'll stick by month and week in to :-) For raw data, you can export them in a iCal feed so you can import them into calendar software.

Can you think of any other neat visualizations? Thanks.

Maybe a heat map of sorts. Uniform sized bars, but the higher the activity, the closer to red the bar is.
