Recently there was a 'Ask HN: Ideas for Passive Income'. To add to the list - design a font. To me the idea that the highways agencies and other departments choose to use paid for fonts is a bit silly. It is like choosing to pay for air and then insisting that anyone you talk to also pays for air (prosecuting them if they do not). This seems culturally wrong for the U.S. government where things like NASA images or NOAA weather data is free to use.
