@Lukas That's fantastic, thank you for taking the time. Biohack.me is formatted with a lowercase M, much as .com would never be .Com or any other domain suffix you can think of.

@Shiprat Punk is a subculture. Punk has a popular symbol; individuals within punk adopt varying personal symbols which are not the popular. Picking a symbol does not mean you, personally, must adopt it. A symbol raises awareness and promotes solidarity. We have a presence on the Internet: forum, github, Facebook page. It…

@MrWizrd I have no problem with that so long as we make this timely. There were a lot of people who expressed interest in the first thread and it may suit everyone better to simply do a second buy. It's up to you.
-
I'm fine with this.
-
@nemogrinds Is the larger range of peripheral vision noticeable?
-
@Lukas What are those methods? @nemogrinds Please do.
-
@xarene I disagree with your interpretation of 'NULLI CARNI PARCETUR': I would not synonymize flesh with nature. And whatever the future, flesh is a transitory medium. I specifically avoided referring to the graphic as a 'logo' because of the word's commercial connotations. Visually, I prefer the strength and immediate…

@nemogrinds posted the quoted in a defunct thread, I've moved it here. "10 Sterile Body Piercing Needles 6g 6 GAUGE LOT NRSugru1/4" Dia NdFeB Sphere Magnet, Grade N45, Ni-Cu-Ni Plated with Mirror finish, Magnetized through the Poles Aside from cleaning and sterilizing mats. Sorry for my brutish blunt manner. Just wanna…

@Ian: Thank you for the offer, I'll be happy to take you up on it when I know enough to start asking. I did find this Academic Earth list of videos on electrical engineering and this MIT OpenCourseware listing.
-
@DirectorX Oh yes, that's gorgeous.
-
@ThomasEgi: Learning by doing is the only method that works for me. This is perfect, thanks.
-
@Jack: I like how immediately obvious the gears are in the third but the second is also strong. I would be careful about making it too future-forward. The analogy succeeds because it's somewhat timeless. When we move to quantum computing and organic circuitry, what then? A hand might be equally interesting.
-
@ThomasEgi Possible to just talk directly to a hospital's administration and ask them where they purchase their silicone and surface-muscle electrodes from?
-
@Ffaway If you can't get a volunteer, just place the camera on a flat surface with the best view of the process possible. Better some video than none I say. Will you be stitching the holes back up? Nate of Feeling Waves didn't stitch the first time and had issues with his first implant migrating to the surface.
-
@DirectorX I like where you've taken this but I have reservations as to whether we should be associating ourselves with healing and the medical profession. We risk backlash from the medical community and presently we're not in the business of healing, we're improving. @Version2 What this suggests is pitch perfect for the…

This is a lot of very technical discussion (not a bad thing). Those grinders out there, like me, who are not nearly so knowledgeable could benefit from a very basic explanation of some of the material presented here. I think there's plenty out there in our community who would like to contribute to Southpaw but don't know…
-
@Ffaway If it's not too much trouble, I'd love to see video documentation too. Good luck!
-
@Ffaway Where did you pick up your needles?
-
@Firedust It's compelling and creative. It is commonly and mistakenly believed the Caduceus was a medical symbol, if those are the connotations you hope to attach. As a symbol of Hermes, the god of invention and patron of boundaries and of the travelers who cross them (societal boundaries?), I could see it but if we took…
-
@Ffaway Are you implanting them yourself? If you are, let us know the materials and the technique you used.
-
@niko It looks great! But like @Ffaway said, the biohazard symbol might not give the best impression.
-
@Ben If you can write me a list of the exact supplies I'll need to test your hypothesis, I'll guinea pig and film the test. There's a mechanical shop I'm friendly with nearby, I can see about scrounging parts.
-
I'm about to purchase the parylene-coated 782N-3's from V&P. This is the same model of magnet that's in Nate's finger. Any objections before I do? I'll be implanting four, one in each fingertip of the left hand as a first test.
-
@Jack I'd prefer to stay friendly. Do you want to hack up a variation? Cogs minus the sixes?
-
@Ffaway I did mean lengthwise down the finger, I'm sorry if I was unclear. @DirectorX I googled and found that stacking magnets like [SN][SN][SN][SN][SN] won't magnify the field but like [SN][NS][SN][NS][SN] will double the strength of each. You'd need another container around the two or more magnets to avoid them…
-
@DirectorX Are you certain any magnet implanted below the fingertip would be ineffective? What are the strengths and sizes of implanted grinders' magnets here? EDIT: Clarified word choice.
-
Thanks Kevin. Personally, I'm all for its adoption both for reasons of visibility and its already firmly established meme.
-
V&P Scientific sells parylene coated Nd's, which are bioproof and fairly cheap. Nate at Feeling Waves has had one implanted in his finger and it works. He had difficulty with the implant migrating toward the surface and suggested a deeper stitch for future procedures. This is likely the direction I'll go for an upcoming…

What's stopping us from building this now? is it just the code we'd need to write for the microcontroller? If finances are a concern, maybe we should start thinking about setting up a Kickstarter.
