- A German-language Chaosradio Express episode (#143) on biohacking was singled out as the most informative podcast of the day, while English-language interviews with Ben Goertzel and Aubrey de Grey were judged lower in technical depth; Goertzel’s funding request of “$5 million for 5–10 years” toward AGI work was contrasted with his tongue-in-cheek “$100 billion” figure.  
- The Kickstarter campaign for “Citizen Science Quarterly,” organized by Houston hackerspace TX/RX member Jacob Shiach, was highlighted as a new outlet for DIYbio and citizen-science content, alongside ongoing concerns about FDA regulation of personal genomics services such as 23andMe.  
- Jeri Ellsworth’s new YouTube demonstration revealed a simple, low-cost method for creating holograms at home, sparking discussion about accessible optics experimentation for hobbyists and researchers.  
- Technical resources shared included a gear-template generator (woodgears.ca) for producing complex gear geometries, a ShopBot CNC “cake” fabrication video, and an open-source low-bitrate voice codec from Rowetel intended for mesh-network or satellite communication.  
- Participants requested slides or papers from TransVision 2010, specifically Geoffrey Redmond’s “Perspectives on Human Enhancement” and a talk on “Transhumanism: Ethical Insights from the Three Chinese Spiritual Traditions.”  
- The Polytopia project (spacecollective.org) and the U.S. government “et.gov” site were circulated as potentially valuable future-oriented resources for transhumanist research.
