- rdl 16y agoThe Sealand people weren't rich; they were middle-class pirate radio people who were just trying to do commercial radio in the 60s. (I lived there for 2 years 2000-2002, and the general condition of the place was fairly poor at the start and at the end)
- MurkyPast 16y agoWait, you lived in/on Sealand? I'd love to know how you ended up living there.
- rdl 16y agohttp://www.wired.com/wired/archive/8.07/haven.html http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/8.07/haven.html I don't know if I can say "I was on the cover of Wired" correctly, since it was an aerial shot of Sealand out of proportion on a globe, with 7 of us standing on the helideck; I'm probably about 4 pixels.
- allenbrunson 16y agoholy cow, you must be Ryan Lackey. Apparently you aren't doing Blue Iraq anymore?
- rdl 16y agoYes. Yes, I'm working on an actual technology startup now vs. defense contracting. It is difficult to quantify how happy I am to not be in Iraq/Afghanistan/Kuwait/etc. anymore (or, for that matter, living on a 10k sf 60 year old disintegrating concrete platform). I am in Thailand and Bali for the rest of 2010 SCUBA diving, but after that will move back to the US to be near customers.
