After Facebook launched the timeline, I have thought about some different ways of making something in WordPress that looks like the Facebook Timeline.

My friends friend is driving an old mercedes, spiced up to almost a thousand horsepower. And he is using it for competing in drift competitions. But worst of all, he is actually winning the new Toyotas and Nissans that’s also in that business!
