I've just subscribed to your blog, hopefully the tech aspects of it will mean that I can decode at least a little bit of what you say... Thanks for the Japanese perspective!

As for me, I am Japanese and I have a 3 years old boy. He has same series of books. Yeah, some of those books' text consist of onomatopoeia at all. Even more, many of those onomatopoeias coined words I suppose. I imagine it is very difficult to read for those not japanese :) It is interesting for me that you read books for japanese children.

My own memory has always been terrible. In general, I'm great at remembering techniques but bad at remembering straight information; luckily, in computer science the former is more useful. I was similarly mesmerized by the SuperMemo article in Wired although I didn't do anything about it at the time. Now I'm inspired to use Mnemosyne to store my chess opening repertoire (I'm pasting in diagrams as the questions). I'll report the results on my blog if I keep at it.
