willPow3rusing evolutionary approaches to change something, such as DNA, is not evolution.14:34
kanzureWhat would an evolutionary approach be ?14:35
willPow3randrew ellington seems to have an idea14:35
kanzureI would argue that if there's selection, mutation and self-replication that it's a case of evolution.14:36
willPow3ruse random sequence populations of aptamers to solve real-world problems14:37
kanzurehm?14:37
kanzureyes, that's generally what these guys are doing14:37

ybitgrr, konversation :P... i became interested in synthetic biology and joined #biology, and then you mentioned this channel which lead me to your site. I was interested in the singularitarian/transhumanist before coming here, but you have pointed me to some really good information, saving me time21:08
ybiti was a singularitarian/transhumanist** -"interested in the"21:08
ybitphreedom and i had been talking about similar ideas for about year now21:08

ybitanyone know of someone in the boston area working on getting techshop there?21:27
kanzureYes, I'm on one of those old IBM keyboards. You'll have to try it to understand, but there's a good reason why so many people obsess over these things :)21:29
kanzureybit: are you stalking me?21:29
kanzureI just sent an email to robotgroup re: techshop21:29
kanzurehttp://lists.puremagic.com/pipermail/robotgroup/2008-June/009637.html21:29
kanzureI was using recordmydesktop.21:30
kanzureI remember it taking four or five hours to get my microphone configured properly :-p which wasn't an issue with recordmydesktop. Although the massive file dump that it does ... eh. It was estimating something like a few thousand gigabytes a minute, so obviously I had to cut down on resolution and so on.21:30
ybitwas away wasting time watching: http://video.google.com.au/videoplay?docid=22878453148185381121:42
ybithehe, stalking21:42
ybityep, i'm a stalker21:43
ybitactually, no, i'm not. please don't ban me :P21:43
* ybit is trying to form a dorkbot in this area21:44
ybitor barcamp, or maker meeting21:44
kanzureI would strongly encourage you to not call it anything like that.22:13
kanzuredorkbot might be ok22:13
kanzurebut Maker and Barcamp are kind of 'trademarked' sort of22:13
kanzureI'm starting to notice that it's sort of like a corporate scam22:13
kanzurewhile the people that throw these together are well intentioned, it looks peculiar22:14
kanzureespecially with Make22:14
kanzurehttp://hplusclub.com/ is another possible avenue to explore (steal from)22:14
kanzureor http://techshop.ws/ and http://diybio.org/ and the list is truly rather endless. There are a number of old school organizations and groups that probably have local chapters at your nearest university.22:15
kanzureThe type that sit around writing letters to representatives.22:16
