There's a thing I should write about Octodad: Dadliest Catch as an extended metaphor for my experience of having Asperger Syndrome

- Manages to do all the stuff the standard humans can do, but with a bit of weirdness

This is the Seiko UC-2000 shown with the Seiko UC-2200 terminal
The UC-2000 is a watch, it shows the time, lives on your wrist
But most importantly, it could be combined with the UC-2200 terminal to make a reasonably well featured personal computer
The watch face served as the screen of the whole system which also had a spool-fed printer, 4K of RAM and 26K of ROM on a removable cartridge
You could make your own applications for it in BASIC
