I want to memorize a few openings for chess but I'm finding it hard to devise a method that's best... any ideas? I work with algebraic notation, i.e., 1.e4.e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 etc.

Why not buy the chess game called fritz, the current version is fritz 10 and will teach you how to play chess from beginner to grand master level it will also allow you to visit the chess base website to play with other people from all over the world free for one year.
if you are interested then visit http://www.playchess.com and sign in as a guest so that you get to see what it is like. while you are there as a guest all games will be played unrated.
mind you there is no cheating allowed and if you are caught cheating then any ratings you might have will get deleted for they operate a anti cheat server. good luck

You should start off with a narrow range opening set such as the King's Indian/Pirc system where you will not get surprised all the time. The moves start out with the following moves for white: Nf3, d3, g3, Bg2, Nbd2, and e4 when safe. It is stable and can be used from the black side against all opening moves except for 1. e4. A similar line is possible there by 1. e4, d6; 2. d4, Nf6 and then develop as in the perilous example. There are beginner's books for the King's Indian Defense, King's Indian Attack (from white side), and the Pirc Defense.
Test out the opening in play against people with about your same playing strength. Do not mess with the computers to learn. They can do more damage than good if used improperly.

Buy a computer chess board and start on 'beginner'. Just move up the levels as you get better. You HAVE to learn the moves by experience. Incidentally, you cannot 'devise' a 'best' method of beating either a computer or human. The best you can do is bluff a human.

Sure. Learn 4 knight, fianchetto games and the gambits (queens, kings) for white
Learn the Sicilian, Caro-Kann and Kings Indian defenses
These are your big ones.
