- MIT Media Lab researcher Jim Taylor-Farnes (or Farnes) is reportedly working on “printing micromuscles”; a Google search for “MIT Media Lab printing micromuscle” yields only eight results, so details remain scarce.  
- Andreas’ open-source EEG project at http://www.meta-mind.de/ was demonstrated live; participants debated whether raw brainwaves constitute “thoughts” and how such neurofeedback compares with simple exercise like swimming.  
- John Smart’s Acceleration Studies site (http://accelerationwatch.com/) and the Evo-Devo Universe wiki (http://evodevouniverse.com/wiki/Main_Page) were revisited; his “digital twin” concept and performance-curve tracking at http://pcdb.santafe.edu/ were highlighted as resources for mapping exponential technology trends.  
- Discussion of exponential “funnels” emphasized that value is gained only by joining an exponential trend early; late entry yields diminishing returns because each doubling cycle consumes proportionally more resources.  
- The Performance Curve Database (Santa Fe Institute) was proposed as a data source for mash-ups with http://theuncertainfuture.com/ to visualize how metrics like “price per FLOP” drive future computational capacity.  
- A new Asus Eee PC 1005HAB running Ubuntu was acquired for mobile hacking; the Box Shop SF makerspace (http://boxshopsf.org) was noted as an upcoming meet-up venue.  
- Fabbaloo’s post “Let’s Download Some Hardware” (http://www.fabbaloo.com/2009/12/lets-download-some-hardware.html) was shared as commentary on the emerging culture of freely downloadable, open-source hardware designs.
