- OpenEEG experimentation at Langton Labs produced unusually symmetrical, harmonic brainwave recordings from one participant, prompting discussion of what such patterns might indicate.  
- CubeSpawn, an open-source modular manufacturing system built from interlocking cubes, was introduced via Kickstarter; debate centered on whether the cube geometry offers functional benefits or is purely aesthetic.  
- The RepRap community estimated 500–1,000 self-replicating 3-D printers now exist, with at least 300 MakerBots sold at $700 each, and noted the absence of any central registry as the ecosystem approaches exponential growth.  
- Hydraraptor’s blog described a firmware fix for stringing in FDM printing by adding programmable reverse extrusion; it remains unclear whether the technique is universally applicable.  
- Russell Hanson and Rehmi Post (MIT Media Lab) scheduled a Skype call to discuss synthetic biology and open manufacturing; Hanson’s 2009 MIT Synthetic Biology slide deck was circulated as background reading.  
- A gigapan of the full metabolic-pathway map was shared, originally shown by Anselm Levskaya at the H+ Summit 2009, alongside frustration that summit videos and slides were still not publicly available.  
- DIYbio.org published Bryan Bishop’s field report from the H+ Summit 2009, explaining that real-time transcription failed and only partial justin.tv recordings exist.  
- A distributed archive effort is underway to host SEM/FIB and other technical papers on multiple personal servers, with offers of additional mirror space and references to the Internet Archive’s large-scale book-scanning initiative.
