The renderings are gorgeous. A mile-long vessel, 800 feet wide, 30 decks high, gliding across the open ocean with parks, schools, a 15,000-seat sports stadium, and enough residential space for 50,000 permanent inhabitants. Nuclear-powered, perpetually circumnavigating the globe, never docking in port. A floating city, in the most literal sense. The Freedom Ship has been […] This story continues at The Next Web Read more ›

When the 29-year-old Samuel Rizzon is asked what he does, he answers with a single word: “developer.” While accurate, it’s a modest label for someone whose work has stretched well beyond writing code.
