- A link to the “Hack Alone” site (http://hackalone.org/) was shared, likely pointing to a resource for solo hardware or bio-hacking projects.  
- Discussion of low-cost interlocking brick presses began, with one participant asking for recommendations and another clarifying whether the goal was to make clay-soil bricks or something more macabre (a dark joke about “bricks from dead humans” was made and then dismissed).  
- A photograph of an unusual lab or living-space setup (http://fennetic.net/irc/IMG_8218.JPG) was posted with the comment “something’s not quite right,” later resolved as a mis-set time zone on the camera.  
- jrayhawk shared two images of a highly improvised computer rack/“hovel” (http://www.omgwallhack.org/home/jrayhawk/img/hovel/20120512_008.jpg and 100_2536.JPG) featuring motherboards mounted in non-standard orientations and graphics cards aligned by VGA port position, illustrating extreme DIY hardware hacking for cooling or space constraints.  
- The conversation briefly touched on ergonomic considerations for ceiling-mounted motherboards and the practical reasons (now forgotten) for the odd GPU layout, highlighting the experimental, “whatever works” ethos of the channel.
