Drink Tracking
I was definitely drinking too much the first few weeks of the stay-at-home order, but it wasn’t really a problem. I rarely felt the effects the next day and I didn’t start until at least 5pm. On the other hand, alcohol is poison, and as a publicly traded person there are health implications to having…

How To KmikeyM
In 2008 I launched a market and sold shares in myself. I also asked my shareholders for advice, and they voted with the power of the shares they had bought, giving me a clear course of action whenever I was unsure of something. The project is called KmikeyM, which is an abbreviation of K. Michael…

The Publicly Traded Person is Down
I had a Zoom conversation with a few friends last week and we talked about feeling like we have all this time but no energy to do anything. This past weekend I was pretty depressed and it took me a while to realize it. I think of myself as an optimistic person, so I’m usually…

How weejee Works
When we built KmikeyM I modeled the voting system on shareholder resolutions, which usually present an argument and allow shareholders to vote “For” or “Against”. One of the differences we’ve discovered in being a publicly traded person has been the need for multiple choice questions. So we built weejee (well, to be fair, Aaron built…
