Sometimes the web works the way you want it. For instance, today I found flashcards galore. Flashcard Exchange is an extremely "Web 2.0" site that has scads of student-authored mnemonic aids for students of -- anything. Maybe you'd like to memorize:
Perl programming syntax
Klingon Language
military protocol
organic chemistry
math
William Faulkner's As I Lay Dying & The Sound and the Fury
as well as, of course, tons of medical school, anatomy, architect license, New York State Bar exam, and almost any professional exam you can think of.
Instructions (for the impatient): At any of the links above, click on "Study" at the upper left. Once the flashcards appear, mouse or keyboard the (f)orward, (b)ack, (f)lip, (x)got it wrong! links at the left margin.
The cards can even (allegedly) be printed out. Okay, gotta go memorize some Elven verb declensions now...
This is so cool! Thanks!
I think I'll have my guys make cards individually and then combine the best of them, wiki-like.
