- The 2009 H+ Summit videos and slides are being archived: Alex Lightman invited requests for access, and the “How to Make Everything” talk (parts 1–3 on YouTube) plus PDF slides at http://adl.serveftp.org/~bryan/presentations/hplus-summit-2009/hplus-summit-2009-how-to-make.pdf were already posted.  
- DIY bioprinting is advancing: xp_prg repurposed an Epson Stylus 1280 inkjet and is searching for a compatible hydrogel, while genehacker flagged Epson’s inkjet-driver patent as a potential legal hurdle.  
- The SKDB hardware library is growing—currently screws, bearings, threads, and LEGO parts—and kanzure proposed scraping component datasheets to seed a planned electronics library, while rejecting STL in favor of editable IGES/STEP or native CAD formats.  
- Local fabrication capacity expanded when a machinist in QuantumG’s welding class offered low-cost lathe/mill access and training to channel members.  
- Tension between institutional and grassroots transhumanism surfaced: RU Sirius was perceived as marginalizing DIY culture at the summit, and kanzure noted Sirius’ invitation to write an article “with an editor” as emblematic of the divide.  
- Core transhumanist reading list crystallized: Charles Stross’s *Accelerando*, Vernor Vinge’s *Rainbow’s End*, Greg Bear’s *Blood Music*, Cory Doctorow’s *Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom*, Nancy Kress’s *Beggars in Spain*, David Brin’s *Kiln People*, plus practical works like *Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain*, *The Talent Code*, and Malcolm Gladwell’s *Outliers*.
