Remember by heart but roughly the following:

* All my travel activities form July 1983 to Present time, including details such, as types of vehicles  

   provided for trips, sightings, and funny/unusual circumstances, if applies

 

My personal audio/video collections features more then 400 cassettes, 150+ CDs, 100+ video carriers,  

and many MP3 files, Gigabytes of Photographs, and Terabytes of video files

*  worked on a Database of all the carriers, and track lists until I found this  task absolutely redundant

* Transfer A/V media from cassettes to CDs/DVDs in order to prevent data from being distorted. For this purpose the oldest tapes dated back to 1990- 1992 are chosen.

* Every picture which I see, does not reside standalone in my brain. It always associated with some event, music, and other circumstances which I experienced before/after it was taken. For this purpose I use photo/video editing software to make a still or video collage.

 

The collection of my computer files, dated from August 1993 till nowadays doesn’t urge me to create a database or a search engine. Upon a need I find a needed file, from 1st to 3rd try.

 

Railfanning: Spend tremendous time in learning the routes, vehicles, history, technical retails, and numbering schemes of most of the public transit systems in the world.

 

Technical publications and musical TV programs: Starting 1985 remember almost of all of them “article by article’ and ‘song by song’ respectively. Now as a “backup for my brain” I use this knowledge to get some materials from the internet as a “hard copy”
