Happy Birthday To Me! Well, to the newsletter, anyway! 
This edition marks one year of The Art of Memorialising. Twelve months of asking, how will we choose to live forever online? 
The actor Jeremy Irons wrote in his memoirs, ‘Our afterlife is what we leave behind in other people.’
Of course, that is true.
But we can’t ignore what we leave behind online. Traces of our online lives will continue on long after we have died. 
Thank you for the feedback, encouragement and comments I have received. It lets me know you find the subject of #Deathtech as fascinating as I do. 
Over the last year I’ve reviewed many new ideas for how you can curate, store and tell the story of your life online.
Started as a newsletter, back in December I added the option to listen via podcast to each episode.
Here are some links to the main platforms where you can find the podcast.
* Spotify 
* Amazon Music 
* Apple Podcasts
What has been exciting for me to see is the creativity, innovation and breadth of ways #Deathtech is developing. Above all, seeing how AI can ‘keep alive’ those we love has been the most fascinating.
Yes, some ideas seem spooky and weird to me too!
As the mainstream catches up with the culture of change, new ideas appear and some will fall by the wayside, but one thing is for sure, in the next 12 months the pace will only speed up!

There is nothing worse than an untold family story lost forever. 
We forget valuable old photographs and family movies stored away in boxes. Memories fade. Every year, thousands of digital images and videos stored on smart phones are accidentally deleted or misplaced. Increasingly, family history is lost because family stories are no longer shared. Parents or grandparents are no longer here to tell their stories. 
So what is the solution?
John Withers, the Australian founder of 4everstory, has announced that its secure and private web-based digital story platform is now available.
As life becomes increasingly complex and digital, so has the interest to create unique permanent online spaces. Now it is easy to create tribute experiences rich in mixed media content. These can be collectively shared with family and friends anywhere in the world to create a wider sense of connection. 
4everstory creates lasting, meaningful, and dynamic digital narratives th
