Thick Quest: Glendale
For the month of January Kathryn and I challenged ourselves to a Thick Quest. Thick Quest is a term used to describe the challenge of eating at all the restaurants on a street. It traces its origin to the concept of “honorable gluttony” in medieval Europe, which was the concept that consuming large amounts of…

2023 Preview
Having finished the 2022 Review the next and much harder task is creating a 2023 Preview. It’s easy to go back and cherry pick the highlights of the last twelve months. It’s a lot harder to look ahead and set goals I know I will fail. I don’t do typical New Years Resolutions, but have…

2022 Review
At the end of every year I am thinking more about the coming year and all that I want to accomplish and what I didn’t quote finish. But actually taking the time to look back at 2022 I’m a surprised at how much happened in the KmikeyM community. TEDxVienna Talk I waited not so patiently…

First Doctor Visit in Five Years
I went to the doctor today. It was just the intake appointment for One Medical, which is like a Genius Bar for medicine, and is included in my health plan (membership is normally $199/yr). But even before my first appointment I’m already spiraling… I started by looking up how to prepare for a doctor visit…

Social Media Dark Mode
We know social media is bad for society but we use it anyway. As much as I love connecting with people, doing so in an environment that is actively harmful feels like too high a price. How should a person exist online? That is the question I put to my shareholders in April of 2022.…

KmikeyM @ TEDxVienna
In October of 2021 I was able to go on stage at TEDxVienna and talk about how I became publicly traded. Thankfully they cut out the parts where I cried. I’ll write more on this later but I am excited to be able to share the video with you all!
