Mind Performance Hacks

Ron Hale-Evans, Mind Performance Hacks
Tips and Tools for Overclocking Your Brain,
O'Reilly

There are quite a variety of things here, ranging from memory-aids to pulling yourself together to make a talk. You can even lean how to count to a million on the fingers of your hands using binary numbers. How geekly is that?

With quite a number of the things you might be tempted to ask whether they're just parlour tricks without any real utility. Or just a bit of fun. Maybe there are some after dinner games here for people who do that sort of thing. Utility can take many forms after all.
