We're pretty huge fans of that video, for obvious reasons.

Table of contents:
1. Paul Fenwick is hilarious
2. Fear is a powerful motivator
3. Anki (spaced repetition system) is awesome for remembering things,
like people's names
4. Problem with Anki: it doesn't matter if you skip a day, so you end
up skipping every day
5. Solution: Beeminder! (beeminder is goal tracking with teeth, like
stickk.com for data nerds, or like runorelse.com for other things
besides running!)

Do you suppose that the 2.0 release of Anki might make it easy to get review information to Beeminder automatically?
