Life logging
http://tegenlicht.vpro.nl/nieuws/2013/oktober/gordonbell.html (in Dutch)
Gordon Bell is since 1998 documenting and archiving his entire life - from registering phone calls to saving physiological/biometric data digitally. He also has a tiny camera hanging on his neck, which makes several photos automatically, on a daily basis.
He was one of the characters in the VPRO documentary 'Tech Mens', about 'tech-optimists', presented in Dutch television a few weeks ago. The documentary is mostly English spoken and can be seen here: http://tegenlicht.vpro.nl/afleveringen/2013-2014/TechMens.html

| http://www.meineigenheim.org/dumpster_log/doku.php | In Second Life each avatar has a trash folder. Items, that get deleted end up in that folder by default. The trash folder has to get emptied as often as possible, otherwise the avatars performance might diminish. But, where do deleted things end up? What are those things? And, would avatars care to throw their trash into dumpsters instead of just hitting the "delete" button?" | |

Osiris SPS (Serverless Portal System):
Osiris is a P2P system, it consists on saving a copy or the network on every computer connected, making it impossible to erase an information of the server. It's a decentralized system of sharing information created to contrast with the limitations imposed by Internet providers and tate laws to censroship and control information trafic.
I would like to emphasize here the possibility of using it as an alternative for archiving internet 1.0 sites such as Geocities.
