Hey Tim,
Yeah, I do have an idea.  I was in fact hashing it out with Ethan tonight.

It would be about being safe on the internet.  I'd hit topics like,
1. What does an "incognito mode" browser tab buy you in terms of anonymity?
2. What does "https" (as opposed to "http") mean when it's the first part
of a web address, and what security guarantees does it give you?
3. When and why does your browser warn you you're trying to go to an
"insecure" site, and what are the implications of you clicking on "take me
there anyway, I know what I'm doing"?
4. Is your email traveling in encrypted form?  All the way to its
destination?  Part of the way?
