• 23andMe’s $99 DNA-analysis sale was mentioned as a missed opportunity by JayDugger, highlighting the channel’s ongoing interest in low-cost personal genomics.  
• dbolser reported having already enrolled six family members in 23andMe, underscoring early-adopter behavior in the community.  
• A 30 GB archive of the Journal of Molecular Biology—including the first protein structures—was prepared for sharing; faceface attempted to transfer it via SCP but hit disk-space and fork-resource limits on the bifx.org server.  
• kanzure offered storage space on a higher-capacity server (cysteine) managed by jrayhawk to solve the large-file distribution problem.  
• faceface proposed seeding the archive as a torrent to make the historical molecular-biology dataset more widely available.  
• kanzure circulated two links: an upcoming DIYbio Dublin meetup (http://diybiodublin-eorg.eventbrite.com/) and Brian Degger’s SlideShare deck arguing that 2011 will be “the year that DIYbio takes off.”  
• A Singularity-related mailing-list thread was flagged by kanzure as “more singularity crazyness,” pointing to ongoing debates about AI acceleration timelines.
