how fun!!

I have a few on the theoretical and philosophical level to include alongside Transhumanist wager. List below: The Transhumanist Wager, Zoltan IstvanThe Proactionary Imperative, Fuller and Lipinska Beginning NFC,Tom We Have the Technology: How Biohackers, Foodies, Physicians, and Scientists Are Transforming Human…

Looks awfully similar to my m31, scalpel installed a year and a half ago. I think this may be a success story.
-
Some more reference points for your research: Neil Harbison Moon Ribas Mark Gasson Steve Mann Rob Spence Frank Swain, Klint Finley, and Zoltan Istvan are media figures who've wrote and contributed to this sort of thing over the years. Of course no research into this would be complete without citing the media exposure of…

It's not terrible to leave it in there, if the coating is truly compromised it will probably reject on it's own. Of course, that will mess up your body's heavy metal levels, stress your liver and kidneys, and perhaps with all the digging that's been done on your ear screw up it's structure. But nothing, you know, life…

Well I'm in another hemisphere for a while so flights are a little much for me. I'll try to recruit some local austinites though.
-
Dangit. Why couldn't this sort of thing happen BEFORE I left Austin. Will this be webcast?
-
"Didn't use the drops in a timely manner - they've been sitting around for about a month in the fridge." Uhm...uh oh. I never thought about the shelf life of this. Anybody else have any anecdotal or otherwise information on this?
-
Bummer. If you don't mind my asking, what job are you taking that requires you to remove your current implants?
-
Y'all popped up on my facebook feed: http://mic.com/articles/113740/a-team-of-biohackers-has-figured-out-how-to-inject-your-eyeballs-with-night-vision?utm_source=huffingtonpost.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=pubexchange

There is some questionable legality happening in this thread. My general 2 cents: get some tattoos and piercings before moving on to implants. That would be a good litmus test for anyone's capacity for pain tolerance, as well as their ability to effectively heal these sorts of wounds. If one cannot get a tattoo or piercing…

DANG! I am in Austin, but am being pulled away for work in Houston the 16th until Thursday or so. I may try to ditch work for this. What's the info?
-
Dang I wish I could have gone. Work work work work.. 2 questions. The Ce6 application. Dem eyes tho. Is that a side effect of the Ce6? I don't remember reading that! I may have to save mine for Halloween next year... Second, what is Amal getting in his arm there?
-
I love this thread. The title is clickbait, but bait I am happy to take. I too have noticed that many of the more vocal, self-described transhumanists tend to espouse political ideologies that strike me as ethically repugnant, so much that I hope they are simply politically ignorant. "The Transhumanist Wager" terrified me.…

"Body mod professionals using the partner map to call the gov on each other for infighting and so that they can corner markets by shutting other people down..." This makes me so sad.
-
Word of advice: do not leave another magnet attached to any implanted magnet for longer than a few minutes. As glims said the constant pressure will result in microdamage - specifically, it pinches the tissue causing it to die or otherwise be damaged, which greatly increases the chances of rejection. Just let the wound…
-
This is awesome. Please keep us posted @kjwx! Is there an external link where you will be recording the data, or just here? @ammonRa great idea!
-
I want to add to what glims said about rings and bracelets being stolen, and these things being integral parts of one's self. Pardon my passionate post. You have to make a conscious put a ring or a bracelet on, and likewise take them off. You have that power. Humans experience the world around us through our five (or so)…
-
I know I'm late to this party, but I wanted to share. A lot of my conspiracy nut friends keep talking about how ObamaCare will force everyone to get microchip implants. ObamaCare passed, and then I did get a microchip implant! Weird, that.
-
For what it's worth, I've four data sets on this. As of a year ago, my regular piercer said about two dozen. The few others I've talked to said 10, one said none and directs everyone to my regular piercer, and the fourth said zero, had never heard of it, but wants to start. My gut tells me two years ago it was a few…
-
This is fantastic. I was wondering about the status update of this. Congratulations!! You all going to publish findings officially anywhere?
-
I was kind of excited about the NFC temperature sensor more than anything, there
-
I think this is a great idea, especially for those of us lacking in every day exposure to things the implants would respond to. I'd support this.

Radio Frequence Identification vs Near Field Communication LMGTFY: http://blog.atlasrfidstore.com/rfid-vs-nfc The quick answer is that NFC is sort of a kind of RFID. Most common RFID chips operate on 13.6mhz or 125khz. NFC runs only on 13.6. Thus some RFID readers will read NFC and vice versa, but only RFID running at…
-
Good points, things I keep forgetting. It's easy to get lost in the finer details when trying to figure this stuff out. Thanks for keeping me in perspective!
-
my two cents: I'm sympathetic to using terms colloqually or unscientifically, sometime it is easier to get the point across. "Walking my daschund today was really good for my personal evolution to becoming more mindful of GMOs in my cornflakes." That said, the intellectual rigor of many members of this community is pretty…
-
Nice. A couple of thoughts: The IT wonk in me is nervous about using the RFID/NFC to act as a a cut/paste of plaintext. There's nothing stopping someone from finding the UID of the chip and (with your typed portion of the password of course) just typing in the full text. Still, it does do some mitigation against…
-
@DrJaaz, You mention a magnet a possible magnet onyour thumb, let me share my experience. I have a haworth magnet on the outside of my thumb, between the top and middle knuckle (in addition to the near-standard magnet in the tip of the ring finger). It's wonderfully out of the way for normal thumb activities, though it…
-
I'm going to echo @AmmonRa here. @glims, @cassox, and @amal, Thank You for all of your hard work on this! I've been looking forward to this release, and can now look forward to getting these in (hah!) my hands.

zombiegristle: I love the Cynaps. I've been wondering if there was a way to exploit it and get the transducers out of the hat and onto the body. Have you done any testing? I'd worry that the transducers would be too heavy for regular implanted magnets to hold up. Where were you thinking of putting the magnets? Also, I…
