Not being able to remember anything else is also marbles

In my previous post I blamed my poor memory on a lack of reminders. Well, I've now proved myself wrong. I got home tonight and found this note in my pocket, and I have no idea what it means:


The worst part is that I actually remember myself writing it this morning. But for the life of me I can't remember why I did it. Is there some incriminating evidence I need to destroy? Did I photograph a UFO, but the government erased my memory? And what kind of jerk uses the word "photos"?

Now if you're wondering what the scratched out portion is, it was because I initially tried to write "photos" without an "h." And you can kinda see that I tried to do it again on the second attempt. Yeah.

Update, 9:41pm - Mystery solved!

As usual, my idiocy in one arena is offset by non-idiocy in another. Turns out, this morning I came up with an interesting solution to my iPod-related memory problems - take a screenshot of the "Recently Added" window in iTunes, crop it so it looks nice, and sync it to the "Photos" section of the iPod. Behold:


So, my note (and its word choice) wasn't so strange after all. I'm as surprised as anyone. Of course, this screenshot gimmick will be a bit cumbersome to update (honestly I'll probably never bother to do it again), but the concept is solid. Steve Jobs, go make me an "app" or something.
