A recording of today's Ustream chat is now available; you can also download the presentation (powerpoint format, about 2.7 MB) and the chat log. Unfortunately, I got tripped up on the MECA and TEGA acronyms in a couple of places on the presentation I originally posted. Those errors are now fixed in the powerpoint presentation you can download, but I can't fix them in the recorded chat, so you'll have to bear with my confusion. To be very clear: TEGA's two samples are called Baby Bear (taken near Dodo-Goldilocks) and Wicked Witch (taken in the bottom of Snow White). MECA's two samples are called Rosy Red (taken next to Snow White) and Sorceress (taken in the bottom of Snow White). Sorry for the confusion. Here's the corrected slide.
