    How I’m Using ChatGPT

    It took me a while to figure out how to use AI tools as something more than just a fun distraction. I mean, initially the fun distraction part was REALLY fun and REALLY distracting.

    📧 Build Week 2024

    Last year we made a bunch of changes to the main page, to how you can buy shares, created new alerts, and started experimenting with Policy Votes.  This year the focus is on building out features to make KmikeyM more sustainable, including adding the new Membership Shares proposal that passed with 81% approval.  Due to some availability constraints we’re…

    Playing With Corporate Control

    After the success of the Membership Shares proposal let’s look at how corporations use share classes to maintain total control of their companies. After looking at Meta and Alphabet I was curious how much control Zuckerberg actually has. So I made a chart of all the shares of Meta and the corresponding voting power. 83%…

    📧 Membership Shares

    Well, hello shareholders but mostly non-shareholders. I have 1,194 shareholders but there are 3,582 people subscribed to this list. I expect many of those people have created an account on KmikeyM, and some may have bought and sold in the past, and maybe they’re just waiting for the price to drop… but the majority of…

    AAR: South Sea Bubble Video

    I like to do an AAR on projects. Most people I’ve worked with on projects are afraid of an AAR because it highlights the flaws and limits of their success (more here). What Happened What was supposed to happen? My plan was to make a 3-5 minute video about the South Sea Bubble and then…

    📧 New Policies For Shareholder Control

    As part of an ever-refining attempt to perfect experiment with my own process as a publicly traded person I’m updating the Policy Votes! The idea behind Policy Votes is “always-on” votes that change based on new information. Every three months I’m going to highlight these polices and encourage updates (and also add new ones!). Work projects are kicking back…

    2023 Review

    I started 2023 with a lot of excitement, and while I accomplished a lot I ended the year feeling a bit disappointed and reserved. It’s easy for me to make big plans and it’s a lot harder to look back and try to understand why things didn’t happen. A Quiet Year The two biggest endeavors…
