- Semantic search and automated literature tools: kanzure lists an “autogoogler / autoscholar,” twstalk, PLoS coding, and Ted Nelson’s “superprogramming” as active projects, plus openmosix + squid-proxy for “rabid archiving.”  
- SALT semantic-authoring framework: links to http://salt.semanticauthoring.org/ and http://www.tudorgroza.org/ for semantically annotated LaTeX, lamenting that PDFs rarely ship with source.  
- Experience-sharing via neural “diff-and-patch”: suggests that the same low-bandwidth pathways used by instinct could be repurposed to transmit only plasticity rules or key experience fragments instead of full neural data.  
- Google’s unannounced bio-data storage service: discussed after BioBarCamp—Google will mail 20 hard drives to legitimate users (including high-schoolers) but caps support at $5 M grants; attendees were asked not to blog or record details.  
- Aubrey de Grey’s funding vs. manpower: he is “getting donations like crazy” but still needs more graduate students to do the actual work.  
- “Viral banking” concept: attributed to Democritus; kanzure sketches a p2p banking layer built on Apache + SSL + banking data formats (FIX-like) for decentralized transaction processing.  
- Address-book problem: rejects SQL-only solutions, noting that modern “addresses” now include cell-phone numbers and other non-geographic identifiers.  
- Anti-PDF sentiment: kanzure jokes about making “DEATH TO PDF” stickers to protest the lack of semantic, source-accompanied documents.
