A method for representing chronological data according to user specified graphic image parameters, the method comprising the steps of:

• a) selecting the image parameters and a plurality of supplemental display data by the user;
• said image parameter representing intervals of a predetermined number of minutes, and said supplemental display data representing individual minutes within the intervals;
• b) integrating the image parameters and the plurality of supplemental display data to provide a translation template;
• c) reformatting the chronological data with the template in a synchronized fashion by combining the image parameters and the chronological data to provide translated display data representing modified chronological data;
• and
• d) presenting the translated display data sequentially on a display, the sequential presentation providing a first display indicating one of the intervals and a second display indicating of one of the individual minutes within the interval;
• wherein the image parameters and the supplemental display data are alterable to customize the presentation of the modified chronological data on the display as the translated display data to represent a passage of time.
