- A new open-source video aggregator for transhumanism and DIY-bio content launched at http://diyhpl.us:9000/, accepting YouTube and embeddable links and featuring curated talks by Aubrey de Grey, Kurzweil, Lepht Anonym, Ed Boyden, and Andrew Hessel on synthetic biology, 3-D printing, and DIY neuroscience.

- The platform experiments with real-time, non-reloading JavaScript/jQuery comment boxes to let viewers annotate videos without interrupting playback, aiming to foster deeper technical discussion and quality control via up-vote/down-vote moderation.

- Contributors discussed minimizing login friction through OAuth integration with Facebook, Twitter, Identi.ca, and Diaspora APIs, and proposed a “DIY-H+ video of the day” feature to spotlight high-quality submissions and prevent overload.

- Hod Lipson’s Cornell lab was highlighted for evolutionary robotics and 3-D printing research, with links to historic “GOLEM” project videos and self-assembling robot demonstrations, while RepRap was promoted as a key open-source 3-D printer project for community documentation.

- The Global Village Construction Set (GVCS) from Open Source Ecology was noted, with founder Marcin Jakubowski scheduled for a TED talk in February 2011, and grassroots cell-biology projects like Acron Cell sought volunteer “lab slaves” for ongoing experiments.

- Practical cross-browser testing solutions for bio-hacking web tools were shared, including running IE 8/9 on Ubuntu via VirtualBox, VMware, or browserling.com, alongside 27C3 lecture videos and Lepht Anonym’s “Cybernetics for the Masses” talk distributed via torrent and direct download.
