There is a book called "Moonwalking with Einstein" that talks about memory techniques in a very readable and entertaining way.

This site looks to be based on the same techniques (Memory Palace AKA Method of Loci) that are described in the book.

Great book. "The Art of Memory" by Frances Yates is also a fascinating read. Chronicles the memory palace technique along its entire 2300 year history in popular culture.
