@Lukas and I will be discussing the future of biohack.me in New York this Monday. Grinders in the New York area who would like to join us can meet at Alligator Lounge at 7pm. There's a lot of work that can be done to streamline communication that still satisfies the anonyms out there. I'm committed to maintaining and…

I like the idea of a weekly or even a monthly meet to help focus our efforts. Privacy issues aside (and they're significant), I'd suggest a Google+ Hangout. It'd make for a more intimate environment and we can showcase whatever we're working on.

Okay, let's do it. @Oak, will you set it up?
-
I'm all for a variety of communication channels but there's scarce enough chatter to support what we have now. I'll be in physical contact with @Jack over the next few weeks to iron out the plan for making the site public-ready; accounts need to be reset, external login providers purged, graphics added, and wiki articles…
-
@Jack and I have considered the submissions here together with our own sources of inspiration in our regular discussions on how best to visually interpret the movement. Those many hours of agonizing and deliberation have produced what we've started referring to as the "grinder sigil", a hybrid symbol of obvious figures…

Surprisingly very little pain. If I bring my fingers close to a field, I perceive so very minor sensation that it's impossible to tell if it's just hopeful thinking or real effect. This is day two.

We found our slogan. It's passion like yours that stands us apart. We're not a silo, we're a fucking revolution. We're doing what we can to help you shout and scream and fuck shit up in the future-present. The future-present that belongs to the posthuman punks and rebels, the self-made warriors. Shifting infrastructure…
-
@DirectorX I disagree: apart from issues of fragmentation, users are unnecessarily exposing themselves to legal repercussions. Privacy needs to be addressed here before it results in real-world consequences.
-
Please try connecting to chat through its web interface located at irc.wutnet.net:9090. @Jack and I are working to implement the interface directly.
-
@Ian You're welcome to start an FAQ on the wiki.
-
I'm concerned about the trend toward fragmenting discourse. The biohack.me group on Facebook is a mess: chat is now divided between @phone's IRC channel and Facebook's group chat, which we have no logs for, and which belongs wholly to Facebook. The improvements to biohack.me's infrastructure are not found in more social…

I'm putting together a cut-down version of @odei's for the present purpose of implanting magnets. It's all over-the-counter barring the anaesthetic, which we have a page on the wiki listing suppliers for. ScalpelSurgical needle and thread Syringes Micropore medical tape Nitrile gloves Cetylpyridinium Chloride Iodine Cotton…

This just popped up on our wiki too; I'd like to address my concerns here. I'm all about nootropics (I've had a regimen since 2008) but I feel this discussion is best kept to those resources already established like the Longecity forum. Most people who take a nootropic drug regimen wouldn't do what we're doing or intend to…
-
I'm not a lawyer; I don't know how many restrictions we need to put upon discourse and I'd prefer not to. We have a draft disclaimer that has yet to go site-wide but I don't know if that protects an individual from writing whatever she wants. If anyone has access to a legal, get in touch with me. @Fantomex I open new…
-
@Oak I like it, run with this. I prefer the filled-in version, it's eye-catching: perfect for when we start paint-bombing the streets.
-
@DirectorX @Oak A variant of these has potential. I want more character. I like @Jack's hand symbol. I have reservations with its potential identification as a symbol for "stop". Do we revisit the eye? Please leave slogans out of this discussion. I encourage anyone to create a new post if you'd like to discuss them.
-
@Oak I'm wary of adding polls for multiple reasons, least of which is its reduction of discourse to numbers. @Unqualified A preview button is available when creating a new post. A preview button for comments might have to be hacked in. @Ffaway This could be troublesome legally, even with biohack.me's draft disclaimer.
-
I took a couple days to think about it and I'm now leaning away from adopting a slogan immediately. It's potentially a source of division while we work out a symbol. @Jack has taken down the placeholder slogan you've seen on the forum. I'm still not satisfied with our present symbol iteration and at least concerning its…
-
@Ida Love the gear but I can't support a symbol that suggests harm; an alternative centerpiece: eye, handprint, any symbolic suggestion of the body integrating with the machine.
-
@SixEcho We only hurt ourselves if our goal with a symbol is to promote fear. By adopting the symbol for "biological substances that pose a threat to the health of living organisms", do we mean to imply that we are the threat to other living organisms? I don't see any other implication as the metal we implant is not a…
-
@MrWizrd Is this moving forward?
-
The groupblog is happening and will likely turn into a curated source for grinder media. @Kuro If we source a diversity of opinion, I think the groupblog can maintain its integrity without turning into an elitist soapbox. I think the best method we have available right now to spread awareness is keep the chatter going:…
-
@CBPye @nemogrinds You can run with this without being derivative. The human head has powerful connotations. The challenge would be stripping it down to its essential elements while still communicating the idea of a post-human face. It turns more difficult when we think of its potential to alienate people. Uncanny valley…
-
@Jack and I are still drafting concepts. There are still many unexplored alternatives.
-
@Ian You're right, apologies. Metal mohawk vid is flirting. More technical, less shock and awe.
-
This is moving off-topic.
-
@DirectorX Do you know of countries that let you do weird shit to people? @doingitwrong Is there a market for grinder merch? I have a friend who does factory screenprinting, might be worth looking into. Who here wants to buy a shirt? How do BDSM parties cover their liability if they're inflicting pain on another…
-
Is any of this possible in a DIY lab we have today? Where would a biohacker start and what would she need? If it's not, this displaces us from the practical doing of grinding.
