- **DIY head-mounted display (HMD) construction** – Participants dissected commercial HMDs (EyeTap, Liteye, WPT70133) and sketched a <$150 build using a $12 Harbor-Freight safety-mask frame, a Petzl-style rigid headband, and a monocular LCD; key issues discussed were weight balance, off-axis mounting arms, and fasteners (zip-ties, Velcro, nuts-and-bolts).

- **Wearable-computing resource dump** – Links collected include EyeTap.org’s open-source mediated-reality software, Steve Mann’s wearcam.org build logs, ARToolKit for augmented reality, and the ePI Lab’s hardware guides; consensus that 1990s rigs were bulky because they relied on HAM radio instead of 802.11.

- **Emagin OLED micro-display specs** – A 60 cd/m², SVGA+, 60 Hz OLED panel draws <250 mW, making it a candidate for low-power, high-resolution DIY HMDs.

- **Local Exchange Trading Schemes (LETS) as hyper-computation** – nsh proposed replacing flat monetary tokens with semantically-rich data structures traded by intelligent agents, arguing that an economy so structured could act as a decentralized, superconductive “super-organism” that resists large-scale instabilities.

- **Open-money & LETS critique** – Participants noted current LETS projects (openmoney.info, Austin Time Exchange) still treat value as scalar quantities; call for richer, non-linear representations of information-manipulation labor.

- **Repository seeding & design-graph intersection** – kanzure_ flagged the need for better ways to populate an open hardware repository and suggested code to detect overlapping design graphs as a near-term step.

- **Healthcare & materials links** – Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care (regional U.S. spending maps), Arlon Thermabonde-45 high-temp silicone, and MatWeb materials database were shared as research resources.

- **Cultural footnotes** – Douglas Engelbart accepted a Facebook friend request, a multivariable-calc TA PGP-signs class emails, and the channel joked about patent torrents and Star Wars continuity errors.
