Seasteading Radio Ad
Give it a listen. It’s awesome! The ad will air on Free Talk Live. Normally we don’t pay for advertising, but the rates were cheap and it’s a pretty targeted show, so we figured we’d give it a try.

James & Patri Tour ResidenSea
We came, we toured, we partied, we left.
Before tonight’s Independent Institute reception on ResidenSea, we were informed that we needed to submit our names 48 hours in advance for background checks, and bring an ID. Perfectly reasonable for a ship full of deci and centimillionaires (if you can afford $300k+/year for a property you use 3mo/year on average, you probably have quite a bit o’ juice!). James & I figured we’d be shuttled straight to the reception, and only get to tour the ship if we made a friend onboard.

Suggest and vote on key sections for the book revision
One of my major projects during the summer and fall of this year will be getting the seasteading book in shape for publication (initially via POD). I have a giant pile of links and ideas about little sections to write – there is an arbitrary amount of nuance, fun speculation, and neat technologies that could go into the book. But I don’t have time, and even if I did the final result would be hugely bloated. So I need to start by 80/20ing the book – nuance and fun can be added later.
I want your help.
