Pirates Off Silicon Valley! 133 Startups to Live on This Rogue Boat [Mashable]

Strange days indeed
 "If you float it, they will come.
That’s the lesson of Blueseed, a brave new utopia for startups that will be anchored in international waters, 12 miles off the coast of the San Francisco peninsula — aka Silicon Valley — sometime in the second half of 2013. The company calls its floating campus the “Googleplex of the sea.”
Blueseed is funded by Peter Thiel, the billionaire co-founder of PayPal and early investor in Facebook.

(To that end, he has also pledged $1.25 million to the Seasteading Institute.)"
