| Noahj | Heh | 20:31 |
| Noahj | Bryan, did you go to Singularity Summit? Apparently Aaron Diaz was there. | 20:31 |
| Noahj | Today at Fab Academy we did nothing except get various CAD tools working, and even though Adrian claims to hate .stl, you're right about reprap using it | 20:32 |
| Noahj | I've no idea what's up with that | 20:32 |
| kanzure_ | aaron diaz, i mean | 20:32 |
| kanzure_ | Noahj: yes i went. i also met david. | 20:33 |
| Noahj | Cool. | 20:33 |
| kanzure_ | here are the people i met: | 20:33 |
| kanzure_ | http://adl.serveftp.org/~bryan/meetlog.txt | 20:33 |
| kanzure_ | hm that's not updated | 20:33 |
| kanzure_ | okay updated | 20:34 |
| Noahj | Ooh, you met Stephen Wolfram | 20:35 |
| Noahj | STAR POWER | 20:35 |
| Noahj | ...sorry | 20:35 |
| kanzure_ | but gregory benford isn't star power? come on now | 20:36 |
| Noahj | Is "Kevin from 2600" /the/ Kevin from 2600? | 20:37 |
| Noahj | Or a non-Kevin-Mitnick Kevin from 2600? | 20:37 |
| kanzure_ | non-kevin-mitnick kevin | 20:37 |
| Noahj | Ah. | 20:38 |
| Noahj | I don't know Gregory Benford, I'm not up on the science fiction scene | 20:38 |
| kanzure_ | he's an oldie in the scifi scene by now | 20:39 |
| Noahj | I'm still slowly trudging through Asimov | 20:40 |
| Noahj | I tried a bit of Bradbury but it gets annoying when he's all luddite and incoherent | 20:41 |
| Noahj | It's intriguing but not really about the technology | 20:41 |
| drazak | I think I almost bought a benford today | 20:45 |
| kanzure_ | meh | 20:46 |
| kanzure_ | you can do better | 20:46 |
| kanzure_ | but he's not terrible | 20:46 |
| drazak | I'm reading a stephenson | 21:22 |
| drazak | anathem | 21:22 |
| drazak | I read cryptonomicon | 21:23 |
| * ybit just noticed the 'administering anesthetics to mice' thread again, didn't realize there were so many responses | 22:06 | |
| ybit | it's kind of odd that it all boils down to one private org. which sets the rules on working with animals (aaalac) | 22:07 |
| ybit | topright | 22:18 |
| ybit | Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals is available in pdf from nap.edu | 22:19 |
| ybit | someone must have it floating around on the interwebs | 22:19 |
| ybit | http://depts.washington.edu/auts/courses_online.html | 22:22 |
| * ybit should distract himself someday with thoughts on how to encourage science in children, in particular nephews/nieces (/me is about to be an uncle) | 22:23 | |
| ybit | science/rational thought | 22:23 |
| ybit | kanzure_: you have a younger sister, i'm sure you've given thought on the matter. katsmeow-afk, what do you think? and anyone else who wants to chime in | 22:24 |
| Noahj | Spend a lot of time reading the encyclopedia together, maybe? | 22:24 |
| Noahj | I think Kanzure has at least one page on this :-p | 22:25 |
| ybit | i laughed when i read that, but that actually may be fun :) | 22:25 |
| ybit | or at least you could find something they may find interesting and do some acitivity with that in mind | 22:25 |
| Noahj | Kids love water-powered stuff and crystal sets | 22:26 |
| Noahj | And all those little experiments like making spectrometers in cereal boxes | 22:26 |
| ybit | and things that go 'boom' | 22:26 |
| Noahj | And graphite resistors | 22:27 |
| katsmeow-afk | arc lamps | 22:35 |
| Noahj | Morse code | 22:43 |
| Noahj | And substitution ciphers | 22:44 |
| Noahj | I don't know if that's science-y enough | 22:44 |

| ybit | Noahj: that could be used for his/her clubhouse :) | 23:37 |
| ybit | or (/me hopes) their underground lab | 23:38 |
| Noahj | He/she could have a pretty sweet clubhouse | 23:38 |
| Noahj | Like, a hexayurt, or something | 23:38 |
| Noahj | Cut one out of aluminum on a waterjet :-p | 23:38 |
| ybit | please let me have a 'dexter' for a nephew or niece :) | 23:39 |
| Noahj | (not a hexayurt) | 23:39 |
| ybit | hexayurts are neat, but they aren't in a tree, though they could be placed underground | 23:39 |
| Noahj | Yeah, a steel box underground might be cool | 23:40 |
| Noahj | You could dig it out with a firehose, maybe? | 23:41 |
| Noahj | I've no experience creating underground labs | 23:41 |
| ybit | i really don't think they could be placed underground safely, ftr :P | 23:49 |
| ybit | ...without modifications | 23:50 |
| Noahj | Yeah, you'd have to put in ventilation and stuff | 23:50 |
| Noahj | When I was a bit younger there was a little house under a hill in our backyard that had one of those round ventilation fan things on it | 23:50 |
| Noahj | I'm not sure why, but, er, you could always put it aboveground and then put dirt on top | 23:51 |
| Noahj | I think that's how this one was constructed, although I'm not sure, there were some trees growing on it, but it was pretty old as well | 23:52 |
| ybit | or just construct an earthbag building for them to play in :) | 23:56 |
| ybit | http://www.motherearthnews.com/Do-It-Yourself/Earthbag-Building-Garden-Shed.aspx | 23:56 |
| ybit | thanks again bkero for mentioning this alt form of construction | 23:57 |
| Noahj | That's a good idea | 23:58 |
