Stark ReAlity

The Social Media tidal wave is gaining momentum, are you prepared?



A witty mnemonic is a useful tool for remembering helpful information, like the names of the planets in order (since Pluto’s demotion, you must drop ”papers”).

Over 10 years ago a technician shared a bawdy mnemonic to help me remember the OSI Model-- “Princess Diana Never Tried Screwing Prince Andrew.” Each word's first letter corresponds to the seven layers between Internet users: Physical, Data link, Network, Transport, Session, Presentation, and Application. I will never forget the seven layers thanks to this socially-unacceptable mnemonic. Voltaire said, “A witty saying proves nothing,” but witty sayings can help you remember raw data, and even important life-truths.

Do you have a favorite mnemonic? Any geeks out there with a different OSI mnemonic?
