- A 40 GB open-access archive containing ~122 000 Nature papers was quietly hosted at heybryan.org/nature/, accompanied by an 8 MB index for rapid navigation.  
- Channel members prototyped integrating the Graph::Easy AJAX/JavaScript graph editor (from bloodgate.com) into SynBioSS to create a visual synthetic-biology design environment; code and demo were mirrored at heybryan.org/graph/.  
- Deep-brain trans-cranial magnetic stimulation was discussed with reference to Eaton’s 2008 paper on modeling arbitrary TMS coil geometries in spherical volume conductors, highlighting commercial opportunities for optimized coil designs.  
- A proposed handheld “ultimate connection” device built around an OMAP3530 SoC plus FPGA, HSDPA, GPS, and HD video was compared to the Pandora console as a reconfigurable mobile computing platform.  
- Practical biohacking resources shared included microalgae immobilization techniques and open-source bioreactor documentation hosted at heybryan.org/bioreactor/.  
- Free high-quality academic content was catalogued: videolectures.net, Stanford/MIT/Wharton course videos on iTunes, and a curated 3 GB “To Digest” ebook pack.  
- Participants debated the value of conferences such as Maker Faire Austin and Convergence08, questioning whether they catalyze real work or merely foster groupthink, while lamenting the scarcity of media from the Synthetic Biology 4.0 conference.
