How to Deal With an Aging Brain?

An anonymous reader writes "I'm sure this is something all older Slashdotters are aware of: as I get older my once-sharp brain is, well, getting worse. In particular, I'm not able to remember things as well as I once did. As a geek my capacity in this area was always what defined me as a geek. Nowadays things seem to go in OK, but then leak out. A few weeks later I've mostly forgotten. So, I ask Slashdot: how do you cope with your mind getting older? What's your trick? Fish-oil? Brain Training on the DS? Exercise? Or just trying harder to remember things?"

    Yeah, man. Marijuana will save the world! You can live off the seeds, make everything you'd ever need out of the fibre. I'm building a hemp fibre spaceship, powered by hemp seed oil, and i'm going to go and live on the moon and grow cannabis forever.
