- OpenStim, the open-source rTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) project, appears stalled: its wiki was last updated in May 2008, and although Superkuh once demonstrated a basic coil that produced skin-tingling sensations, momentum has since faded.  
- A simple coil driver consisting of a capacitor discharged into a coil was noted; participants questioned why commercial circuits are more complex and considered machining coils themselves.  
- Discussion of automated 3-D avatar generation: using OpenCP to extract faces from casual cell-phone photos and texture-map them onto body models, potentially enabling user-generated porn or game avatars without manual artistry.  
- Kanzure proposed extending “supply-chain closure” concepts to a personal “tenure for living” metric—tracking one’s own food and resource autonomy.  
- A plan was sketched to integrate surfraw scripts with Amazon, Digi-Key, and other suppliers so that open-hardware “package files” can present both “order now” and “how to make it yourself” options.  
- William Heath’s partial Python script for SynBioSS (synthetic biology simulation) was reviewed; it currently lacks complex-specific binding rules and inducer modeling.  
- A PNAS paper reporting healthy cloned mice produced from bodies frozen at –20 °C for 16 years was shared, prompting speculation about the fidelity of the cloned neurocircuitry.  
- Kanzure began forwarding conference calls-for-papers to wikicfp@gmail.com to crowdsource their aggregation and reduce spam.
