If there's an easier way to remember random-ish passwords, please share!

Use passphrases rather than passwords. Cognitively-normal humans are very good at remembering quite long sequences of meaningful natural-language expressions.

That said, all of this stuff - generation and mnemonic techniques for passwords and passphrases - has been studied and discussed extensively for decades. There's a huge corpus of literature about it, and I'd be shocked if anyone posts anything novel on the subject here. Anyone actually interested in the subject would be better off doing a bit of research (try this new-fangled "world wide web" thing) than bullshitting about it on Reg forums.

Of course, bullshitting on the forums is usually more a socialization activity than any attempt at serious inquiry. Where that's the case, carry on by all means.
