A mnemonic is a memory aid. It was named after some female Greek? god. Memory is actually a lot easier than you think, because repetition isn't the only method.

Basic Tips
Acronym System
Link System
Story System
Journey System
Room System
Peg System including number-rhyme, number-shape, and number-consonant conversions.
Major System
Dominic System

Add some tips, rephrase the info at the links, estimate the difficulty level, add some canned examples, and more links, etc. What are some books on this topic? Include as much info as you can remember about them. How about some examples of applications that you use these for?

Here are some miscellaneous links to check out and write about. Sort them and/or add more description if you want:
Human Memory on Dates
World Wide Brain Club on Binary Numbers
Be a Genius on Mnemonics in General
Premium Health on Mnemonics in General

Some of these sites also link to more sites that you shouldn't overlook. Not all are in the lists on the various pages. It would be generous of you to add them.
