- A working chemoinformatics parser was completed and is ready for styling and deployment; the author reports the implementation was “way easier than expected.”  
- Jack Kruse’s cold-thermogenesis longevity protocol was circulated via two blog posts (jackkruse.com/the-holy-trinity-ct-4 and /cold-thermogenesis-5), and his upcoming talk in Austin on 14–16 March 2012 was announced.  
- A Santa Fe Institute video on “arcology” (self-contained ecological architecture) was shared: http://www.santafe.edu/research/videos/play/?id=6b7edfc6-7936-4e50-be34-10900b8226ce.  
- Participants discussed myostatin inhibition and the inconvenient length of vertebrate/insect muscle cells, speculating on bioengineered alternatives to current muscle proteins.  
- Genefluidics’ handheld microfluidic diagnostic device (Proteus) was examined, with debate over whether the product photo depicts a wearable belt form factor.  
- Seasteading logistics were revisited: a participant sought the current IRC home for seasteaders and floated an unspecified “available technology” for rapid large-scale ocean platform construction.  
- Contact details for Peter Thiel and Clarium Capital staff (including cathy@clariumcapital.com) were circulated as potential seasteading-community leads.  
- A design for floating farmland was proposed: cast a 208 × 208 ft (one-acre) concrete slab over deflated geotubes in a drydock, inflate the tubes after curing, then flood the dock to yield a buoyant platform supporting 2.8 million pounds with only one additional foot of draft; hinges and subdivision were suggested for wave tolerance.
