You can make one on LJ, and there's a thing called LJ-Archive that'll let you download it, update your download whenever, search it...all kinds of nifty tools. I remember seeing it around when the Great-LJ-Abandon-of-Ought-Eight-For-Fuck-Knows-What was being planned.
I remember that. I think it was one of those "requires .NET 2.0" things. Most of the attempts at LJ backup tools I found were. I never quite understood why.
A good combination is a USB key set up with a Truecrypt volume and a portable wiki like Tiddlywiki or Stickwiki, which are self-contained wikis implemented as self-modifying HTML. In case you'd prefer to carry around your own web browser, you might want to add a copy of Portable Firefox to the volume. Truecrypt can run in portable mode also from the USB key.
To back it up, either copy the whole Truecrypt volume off someplace else (such as to a DVD-ROM disk for archival) or add a small batch or shell script that'll copy it for you. I use rdiff-backup to back everything up periodically.
As for carrying USB keys around, I tend to wear mine as a watch fob.
