- Discussion of open-source manufacturing and the Fabbaloo blog post “Open Manufacturing” (http://www.fabbaloo.com/2009/02/open-manufacturing.html) as a reflection of the channel’s own ideas.  
- Link to a Japanese “fashion model robot” video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brD5D0ytD04) prompted questions about whether its walking gait uses real-time dynamic feedback or is merely pre-programmed.  
- Sharing of a large, continuously updated paper-dump via Twitter (http://twitter.com/kanzure) for open-access research materials.  
- Commentary on the film “Repo! The Genetic Opera” (trailer at http://www.apple.com/trailers/lions_gate/repo/) as a pop-culture illustration of why open-source biology is needed to prevent proprietary control of human organs.  
- Practical hardware talk: kanzure acquired an Acer Extensa 5630-6906 laptop, two 21-inch CRT monitors (Sony Trinitron and Viewsonic), and a 3rd-generation iPod Shuffle; troubleshooting focused on Linux mounting (fuse/gpod/gnupod) and the absence of Rockbox support for the Shuffle.  
- Mention of an audio-only version of Doom that allegedly ran on iPods without screens, said to be archived on allegro.cc forums from 2004.  
- NCBI public FTP server (ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/) offered as a quiet-time resource for genomic data.
