They’re mostly copy-and-pasted descriptions from wikipedia, tweaked with added info from Design Patterns. I’m not sure they’d be very useful to other people. I used them to help prepare for an interview, so when I was doing my cards I’d describe them out loud, then check the description, then pop open the book to clarify anything I wasn’t sure on.
edit: And I’d do the reverse, naming the pattern based on the description.
