• A paper on the fundamentals of EEG measurement was shared (http://www.socal-diybio.org/files/9/92/Fundamentals_of_eeg_measurement.pdf), potentially useful for biohackers interested in brain monitoring technology.

• "Python-on-a-chip" was mentioned (http://code.google.com/p/python-on-a-chip/), a project that enables running Python on microcontrollers without an operating system, which could be valuable for embedded transhumanist projects.

• The existence of a nootropics community on Reddit (r/Nootropics) was noted, indicating growing interest in cognitive enhancement.

• A DIYbio "swabfest" review was shared (http://madlab.org.uk/content/diybio-swabfest-review/), documenting community biohacking activities.

• Open Source Ecology (OSE) reported "exploding" growth following TED exposure, with interest in implementing SKDB (a hardware/tool standardization system) to create an "apt-get" level of ease for hardware printing.

• Technical discussion about Cython programming occurred, specifically regarding wrapping C++ code with friend functions, showing the community's focus on practical software development for projects.
