Synopsis: free/open source automated manufacturing projects (post-scarcity, singularities, kinematic self-replicating machines), brain augmentation (implants, brainhacks, neuroengineering), brain compilers, transhuman tech, space tech, synthetic biology, depth-five readings of Wikipedia and way too many recursive searches (>25k).

Hey, my name is Bryan, I am 18 years old and living just south of Austin in Buda, Texas, enrolled in the local high school. Will be attending the University of Texas at Austin starting August 2008 (in manufacturing engineering and hopefully computational neuroscience in 2009-2010). You should see my (outdated) roadmap to see my projects, such as free + open source automated manufacturing, in vitro meat, asteroid mining, open source do-it-yourself genetic engineering and 'biohacking' kit, AutoScholar software, synthetic biology research, etc. I also run a blog called Transapient Musings. Stuff at the bottom of the page is most recent, scroll down for the goods.

"A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind. This one, a long time have I watched. All his life has he looked away to the future, the horizon. Never his mind on where he was. What he was doing. Adventure. Hmph! Excitement. Hmph! A Jedi craves not these things. You are reckless!"

Bryan's bookmarks as of 2007-10-13- 11,000 bookmarks and 1,700 folders. There's also more verbose output including uncategorized links. At the moment the output is wacky with its own weird counting error- so don't trust the numbers after each folder (yet).

And there is probably some more interesting browser-related content in /bookmarks/.

2007-11-03: Mailing lists

Current forums to check up on

Projects:
Atom holography project
Keymemproj - just have to reformulate the list of items to purchase and then assemble plus programming on the side to complete it
Social browser project (added 06/04/02007, loosely related to JYBE and the Firefox plugin, GroovyNotes, which has little to do with 'notes')

06/03/02007: And here are some 'old' notes that I was working on as a way to organize information discovered throughout the internet. And while I am at it, check out my links and would-be notes re: chemistry. Yesterday, the AIM log analysis perl scripts finished parsing, so here is the data over my AIM logs (the first person listed is me).

June 8th, 02007 - My investigations re: projectw.org's death (bug me to update it in "six to eight weeks")


July '07 - An extended version of "How to become a theoretical physicist."
And from July 3rd, 02007 - My analytical instrumentation page.
Next up: information databases on the WWW- the six-year old Gary Price listing of science databases doesn't entirely do the job any more (though his direct search page is still awesome). In the mean time, there is my quick review post on Slashdot that is relevant, recent, but not thorough.

07/05/02007: Opera the web browser has this nifty feature to save sessions of 'tabs' (current pages being viewed), so here are some useful session files I have constructed today for those of you who are still taking those College Board "AP" tests:
-- AP Calculus BC session
-- AP Chemistry session
-- AP Environmental Science session
-- AP Physics C session
-- AP Psychology session
-- AP Statistics session
They consist of Google.com searches generated from the outlines of terms, topics and concepts per each subject test.

Aug. 2 '07- My page of mathematical theorems, lemmas, conjectures, proofs, general statements, etc. (far from 'complete'). Might be something good to play with on SuperMemo.

Aug. 8 '07- My (brief) page on neurotechnology.
- Semiconductor manufacturing- from sand, wafers, to lithography etc.

Aug. 12 '07- Interesting computer interfaces

Aug. 13 '07- AP Physics C study tarpit-- consists of tens of thousands of links for the entire outline of AP Physics C. There's also a zip file in the parent directory for those of you who want to keep the 92 megabytes close to you (zipped to 17). Used the Yahoo! slurp search engine (slurps more than it crawls?). What's more a challenge is not grabbing these many results, but instead finding the time to go through the results to select the "best of the best" and making sure that all topics are effectively covered.

Aug. 14 '07- AP Chemistry study tarpit- same thing, this time for the AP Chemistry class. And this time with a new index generator as you can see on the page.

Aug. 20 '07- AP Psychology study tarpit- because apparently I am enrolled in the class.

Aug. 14 '07- AP Calculus BC study tarpit


2007-09-01: Added my largely incomplete list of databases on the WWW. Incomplete and poorly structured at the moment, this should improve over time especially once I finalize on a hierarchical organization of the document.
