November's snippets are here, and we're going to try and jog your memory with them!

• There's a new memory technique teaching site on the web called Memory Dojo. Joining requires a paid membership, but there are several free goodies available on the site, as well. Most notably, there are the video lessons from the site available on their YouTube channel.

• Mental Case for Mac OS X has just upgraded to the long-promised 2.0 version! The new version does require OS X Lion. If you haven't upgraded your Mac to Lion yet, they still offer 1.9 and a serial number for download from the site. Either version will still work with both the iPad and iPhone/iPod Touch apps.

• Speaking of apps, there's another new one out there called Namerick. It's designed to help you remember people's names via two ingenious strategies. First, you enter a name and create a silly-sounding alliterative phrase for the name, such as "Fred floats felines" (there are both randomly-generated choices and the option to enter your own original creations) as a mnemonic. Using spaced repetition, you're reminded of your new acquaintances. through the iOS 5 Notification Center. at intervals designed to maximize your retention. This way, you can focus on the recalling the face and name for later recall.

• OK, I've covered paid products above, so how about some good old fashioned free memory fun? Each week, for the rest of 2011, mental_floss' blog will feature mnemonic posts, encouraging their users to create new ones or post their favorite classics. If you've been practicing your US Geography, mental_floss will also challenge you to name all the state capitals, name the landlocked states, and name the states that begin an end with the same letter.
