Putting this out into the fedi in the hopes I don't forget about it in the long run: mnemonic device maps.
You know how when you're learning geography and the task is memorizing nations, capitals, etc on a map? With dozens to remember, mnemonic devices are handy. As a cartographer, one day I'd like to make some maps that a) illustrate such devices and b) enable the user to make up their own.
This is something I'd love to do as a freelancer.

I'm going to pin this so it doesn't automatically delete. I was thinking about this because I am *really* looking forward to the idea of an early retirement. I figure if I combine freelance cartography with playing bass (maybe teaching lessons?) then I can stretch my savings until I'm qualified to receive full SS and pension benefits. I dunno if it's feasible but... I am quite certain I'd be happier than right now.

@mmdolbow@mapstodon.space @drwho@masto.hackers.town when anyone says mnemonic device, my brain pictures this.
