Forgetting is easy? Man I wish. I sure agree about keeping in mind all the wonderful things, though, that is a great idea. Glad you like the map. It's linked to the original site of the artist. Thank you internet! Hey thanks, Luna J! Forgetting is easy? Man I wish. I sure agree about keeping in mind all the wonderful things, though, that is a great idea. Glad you like the map.

I know you enjoy looking into the correlations between times and contexts. And that you enjoy memory work. Have you ever used the Method of Loci? Those systems of memory have always struck me as kind of weird, remember one thing so you can remember something else. One for the price of two. But if it works, what the hey. So zipping that PDF only saved 2%? Hmmm...maybe downloading .pdfs is anathema to some setups or something. That Absurdist magazine is real interesting, if more intellectual that I'm used to.

Tom is the first and foremost among his equals on this, especially when it comes to not forgetting that he should have remembered something (or other). To make sure I would take a second look at the magazine, I used Loci's method to put it on my machine where I should pass by again in the near future. Perhaps a note for the esteemed creative director: do not zip it for that takes out only 2% of the air and adds a nasty need for unzipping. Just link the PDF for download directly, much more reader-friendly!
