A friend of mine passed this link on to me from the Wired site - Want to Remember Everything You’ll Ever Learn? Surrender to This Algorithm - which is a very interesting article on a Memory technique (and the man behind it).

After some digging on the corporate Web site I found the “free” version which is actually a pen and paper version that you can use. I also shared this with my friend Kate who told me about a similar method called Pimsleur - but it is only available for languages.

After reading through this I have decided to give it a shot on an upcoming Computer Science course I’m taking this summer on Discrete Structures (basically a math course disguised as a CS course). I’ll continue blogging regularly on this so I can actually track my progress with it. As Kate said “We need a Mac app for this.” Twould be nice but I don’t have time.
