In the weeks immediately after Katrina we spent most of it with my friend Sean Hastings. He’s an amazing individual and one hell of a friend. Recently he had a speaking engagement at The Seasteading Institute Conference 2009 in California, his first speaking engagement and it’s been captured on video. Seasteading in simplest terms is the idea of homesteading the world’s oceans. If that sounds like science fiction play with an iPhone for 5 minutes and get back to me.
Sean’s always been ahead of the curve and has a serious background in digital cryptography among other things. Check out the beginning of the video even if you’re not interested in the Seasteading stuff, it’s worth it to watch Sean get mocked on The Daily Show by John Stewart. If you’re already familiar with the Principality of Sealand or HavenCo. then you’ll love this. If not, sit back and learn. I’m still peeved he beat me to it!
