Sympathies to you.
Giving her advice is one thing. But she's probably going to be more interested in who you are.
Tell her about yourself. What are your favourite books/ films/art/music - and why.
what has influenced you the most. What have been your greatest lessons?
The last thing you both want is her watching videos of you at big life events and thinking "more lectures from Dad."
If you have a watch and a smartphone that communicate, maybe get them to be aware of their relative positions to open up a new gesture interface? Eg. change volume by raising your hand, hold your hand to your ear to make a call (assuming speaker/ mike in the watch communicating with phone in your pocket) etc.
Okay, so who wants to define the gestures for surfing porn...
I may be being simplistic, but isn't most of the hardware required in phones and MP3 player these days? If you could have a bluetooth earpiece connected to a pocketsized device that does the processing for you most of the miniaturization issues are solved. It may be a step back from an all-in-one device, but most people have pockets full of gadgets these days anyway. So imagine a lapel mike, an iPod nano sized processor and a wireless earpiece - now it's a software problem. (Any programmers on Slashdot these days?)
Even if the software needed a professional set-up to calibrate for the individual surely this would drive the price down.
And think of the PR - all those people claiming MP3 players make you deaf - what if you made one that helped the deaf to hear?
That was Adams' real gift - it was his uniqueness being more unique that anyone else's. Anyone can be unique, but being more uniquely unique than anyone else needs a special talent.
If only everyone could be as unique as him. I think we should try to mimic this uniqueness, maybe teach it in large classrooms where everyone can learn by rote exactly what made it unique and reproduce it in a precisely quantified manner.
You can do this and make the pass mark 75%. It makes no real difference, it just re-scales everything, and the students who get 50% won't understand anyway!

I mean, you have to admire the technology, but eyebrows? On a drone?

Psunamis? Is that some form of wave power generation?
Or did you mean flair?

You' re piping hot on this one! (steam kettles)
Apparently Aperture Labs are considering offering him a job.

So if there is a signal and they've made it available to everyone on Earth, how much does that work out to in damages?

Please, no jokes about the iEar or Google Cyborg.
... but they'll win on a-peel ...

I'm waiting for Mo2n
Look, all we need to do to clear it up is get hold of the store's security camera footage ...
And they have all these burglaries and think that police time is better spent chasing Google cars ...

Crickets are fine. If it's Krikkits - then we're in trouble ...
My kids are watching cartoons in the next room, and I just loaded the pictures when a loud 'Meep Meep' came from Roadrunner!
I like his writing, but the video is more of an anathema.
... I have it on good authority that it's in the top 10 hottest years of the 21st Century! (Well, at least until 2011).
Predictions are dead!
Year 3000 - is that the year of the Linux Desktop?
My God, It's full of star
Does it fit over or under the tinfoil hat?
Especially if you nail someone to it!
