# Key Points from IRC Log

• A discussion about a "fold up" CNC machine was mentioned, which could potentially be used for 3D printing applications, showing ongoing interest in home fabrication technologies.

• Bo Atkinson's augmented reality construction visualization project was referenced, with links to "CADMERA" (http://harmoniouspalette.com/CADMERA.html), representing early work in AR for construction visualization from approximately 10 years prior.

• A useful Makefile for Eagle PCB design software was shared (http://bardagjy.com/?p=524), indicating community interest in streamlining electronic design workflows.

• OpenFreezer, an open-source web-based reagent information management system for laboratories, was mentioned with a link to its Nature Methods publication, though concerns were raised about its documentation.

• Ponoko's manufacturing service (http://www.ponoko.com/make-and-sell/how-it-works) was discussed, with observations that the platform hadn't significantly evolved in recent years.

• Ray Kurzweil's "Transcendent Man" documentary distribution was critiqued for using traditional distribution channels (theaters, iTunes) rather than more forward-thinking digital distribution methods, despite Kurzweil being a futurist.
