• A microfluidic protein-purification column that separates proteins by mass/density was proposed; participants debated whether its separation principle is more like gel-electrophoresis or a simple mechanical probability filter, and they planned to build an open version.

• Smari released the dormant Kokompe project—an MIT-licensed CSG engine for CAD/CAM—via a 37 MB tarball (http://smari.yaxic.org/kokompe.tar.gz) after the original distributed team failed to use mailing lists and chat effectively.

• kanzure outlined an “automated design” concept: given a functional recipe (e.g., making a peanut-butter sandwich), automatically discover alternative hardware chains that achieve the same outcome, using DSM adjacency matrices and Euclidean-distance clustering to compare designs.

• A 479 MB scrape of matweb.com—containing ~80 000 material property pages—was shared at http://heybryan.org/books/Manufacturing/matweb.zip; Smari expressed interest in parsing it into a clean database for SKDB.

• Jata (newly hired by H+ to revitalize the organization) proposes that H+ stop being a “pseudo-religious -ism” and instead fund concrete, open-source transhumanist projects; an informal call is issued for researchers to send short “grant proposals” to parijata@gmail.com.

• A face-to-face meeting is arranged for the coming weekend in Los Angeles where kanzure and fenn will brief H+ executive director Alex on the critical need for distributed manufacturing infrastructure (SKDB, fab-labs, DIYbio) and negotiate use of a large warehouse space offered by Jata as a West-Coast fabratory.

• Discussion identifies several candidate projects for H+ support: open-source diagnostic chips, rapamycin life-extension experiments, myostatin-inhibitor development, non-sucking wearable computers (BeagleBoard + MyVu or Vuzix displays), and improved brain-computer interfaces.

• Vuzix Wrap 920/920AV head-mounted displays are discussed as the closest off-the-shelf hardware for an augmented-reality (AR) rig: twin 640×480 semi-transparent displays, optional 6-DOF head tracker and stereo USB cameras, composite video input, and the lament that Vuzix “sells widgets without a vision” for a complete AR stack.

• A concrete AR application proposed is real-time face detection and annotation: use OpenCV on a live video stream to log every face seen, classify them offline, and later overlay name/notes in the HUD—participants agree OpenCV is the go-to library but no one has battle-tested it yet.

• Participants agree that transhumanism’s biggest obstacle is lack of basic technological infrastructure; without ubiquitous fab-labs and supply chains, advanced research stalls and humanity may spend the next decades merely surviving instead of enhancing itself.
