- The channel’s topic lists key open-science and DIY-bio resources: the DIYbio.org community, OpenWetWare, the Biohack toolkit (biohack.sf.net), and an “automated societal knowledge” experiment at heybryan.org/exp.html.  
- A link to a critique of Ray Kurzweil from a free/open-source-software perspective is also featured: heybryan.org/fernhout/.  
- fenn highlights the LDraw LEGO CAD metadata standard (ldraw.org/Article490.html) as “ripe for metadata aggregation,” and expresses interest in the open-source Wildcat-CAD parametric CAD project hosted on Google Code (code.google.com/p/wildcat-cad/).  
- kanzure is attempting to reverse-engineer and download gigabytes of Flash video served over the proprietary RTMP protocol on port 1935; he references the partial protocol documentation at osflash.org/documentation/rtmp but notes missing handshake details and an incompatible local Flash version.  
- Late in the log, kanzure asks fenn for a curated list of open-source CAD applications that have been personally tested, indicating ongoing evaluation of F/OSS design tools for future projects.
