#4The first (of two) examples encodes to:
> How now the smart flies take the new time beyond new time where new times come.
..Nice idea, but it may need some more thought. (Even more so as 2001:db8::1 is much easier to remember than that!) (I wrote that parenthetical from memory on edit, vs. had to copy-paste the sentence when it was my intention to comment on it within seconds.)

#5I tried it. Maybe it's easier to speak than hexadecimal is.
But I'm not sure that "How morally the enviable assistances categorize the insistent iodine beyond new time where new systems stalk" has the same memorable quality as "correct horse battery staple" does.

#6If you're remembering your IPv6 address you're doing IPv6 wrong. In fact, it's good practice to always use a temporary IPv6 address.

#7Not too sure of the utility of this. It's not an easy sentence to remember, because while grammatical, it's nonsense—it would take some effort. So if I'm trying to memorize a static IP, setting up a DNS name is likely to be easier. And also if I'm going to be using this to memorize IPs I'd like the algorithm to be open source.
All that being said, I think it's a neat idea and a cool tool!

#8I don't understand how the mapping works. An address has 8 parts and produces 16 words, so each part consists of 2 words. If we take the example 2a02, that gets encoded to "how atop", but I don't see how that text helps me that "how atop" means 2a02? Am I suppose to memorize both? How does that help?

#9Something that I think was probably once obvious to me but I rediscovered recently is just how intensely wired for song the brain is. If you want to memorize anything, doing it as a song makes it far easier.
I’d really love to see things like this generate little jingles along with the sentence. :)

#10So just imagine if there was a service that could translate any words you wanted into the IP address instead of relying on some website to generate jibberish. Wouldn't that be cool to use instead? Some kind of name system? Based around domains of authority?
