Welcome Aboard SeaCode

Picture this: a cruise ship off a major coastal city of an industrialized country, in international waters. The vacationers are not on vacation, but are at work. They come from many of the developing countries that are now supplying the brains to the next wave of innovation -- India, China, etc. They get the same amenities as a guest on a cruise ship would, except they work in two shifts, get paid more than they would at home -- and technically, it is offshoring -- only it's local. This ship was dreamt up by Roger Green and David Cook, who have now formed SeaCode and are in the market for a cruise ship to anchor Los Angeles and clients who need cheap, highly skilled labour. Uh-huh. I'll believe it when they turn a profit.
