Hi Carsten,
Would this filter be something that would be done on the source end? If 
so, would you consider adding it? :)

The GoogleTech talk has inspired me to start hacking into the source 
code a bit and contributing back. As a baby step, I'm thinking about 
modifying the column view to display custom date formats for the date 
column. Any pointers on getting me going on this?

Thanks mucho,
Jose
