In the Untimely Event

I was wondering if I could fit my life on a disk... In case my computer breaks. Or if I break.

Text.
Picures.
MP3s.

Text is really easy. I think this whole blog, minus the engine, doesn't even reach like 3 MB... Pictures. I guess I'd keep my pictures, but I'd have to weed out the dumb ones or compress them well. MP3s. I think I can only keep the meta data of the songs and not the songs themselves... That should be good enough. Did I mention I wanted to fit this all on a disk? A DVD, sure, but I don't have a DVD burner. A CD, sure, but CDs are bulky (going minimalist, here). A mini-CD, rock on! Yeah, life in 200 MB... Can it be done? I guess there's obviously a weeding out process involved. But the text... The text with much meaning... It will always save me.
