Story

I have started to write a speed reading program in 2003 with Delphi and DirectX. Program was in Turkish. It was working only random meaningless characters.

Then after, I have decided to implement speed reading program on the web, on my web page aydos.net. I learned Flash's Action Script and some Javascript. And after a hard working I could publish it on the web. It supported Turkish and English vocabularies. Since I have vocabularies with meanings I had implemented a vocabulary test program also.

Even Turkish visitors like my web page aydos.net, it is complicated for international users. And a multilanguage system must be based on Unicode(UTF8). So I have decided to move another site dedicated only block reading system.

Book Review

Great book that is well worth the money

The Memory Book : The Classic Guide to Improving Your Memory at Work, at School, and at Play

I am an eternal student and this book is a gem! Just to give you some background, I am a teacher at a high school as well as a yoga teacher at several different places in my city and I have to memorize many names. In the short time that I have had this book, I have been able to memorize a few hundred names, no problem. Also, just for fun, I memorized the Bill of Rights in about 10 minutes and was able to have an intelligent discussion with our resident AP Goverment teacher on the Bill of Rights. What I will say that after you memorize whatever you have memorized, you need to apply it in any way you can. For instance, I discussed the Bill of Rights right away, and I believe that it will be forever etched in my memory. I also play a game with one of my students about vocabulary words. In about 10 minutes, we both memorized the definitions for words like pugnacious, repugn, zeitgeist, obstreporus and many more. A few days later I quizzed him on them and he still remembered all of them! From a teacher/student to anyone who wants to have a better memory, this is a great book!
