Normally, I don't do New Year's Resolutions, but this year, there is one simple one that popped to mind that A) is easy to do, and B) may be very valuable.

- Make a Home Inventory video -

I vow to set aside 30 minutes or so to videotape my household posessions, getting brand names, model numbers and serial numbers where possible, and storing that video "offsite". (An excellent use for free/cheap online storage sites like OmniDrive). You may never need it, but (Heaven forbid) if something should happen to your home, you'll at least have a document of the things that were in there to help with your recovery.

There are more helpful tips in this article as well.

Oooh - update, lots more good ideas over here in this MSNBC article.
