I really appreciated those URLs. I liked it how the camera is now just available for several hundred dollars (although the storage space would be a bigger pain).

On the topic of lifelogging, what strategies do you currently use to lifelog?

I don't really have an income yet, so I can't buy much storage for these cameras (the real constraining factor is the sheer number of TBs that lifelogging for any more than a few days would cost).

What I do right now: I try to talk to people over e-mail/IM whenever possible (so that I can search archives). I also save every notable webpage I come across (since people often take down webpages). Sometimes I even use Httrack/Downthemall to download all my old posts from various forums. I also use a tape recorder, although I don't use it very much right now.

But a 1.5 TB hard drive costs about $100, and can store almost 8 months of 600 kbit video (that's roughly youtube quality). Turn it off while you sleep and it would last a year.

Oh, good point (of course, backup would be an issue, although I haven't had an unexpected HD failure..yet..)

Hm - has anyone thought about the concerns other people would have about lifelogging? Some people are definitely going to be concerned about those cameras attached to your head.
