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. I was building out whole universes with ChatGPT and following characters families through generations. What I’ve found with using AI though…

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.

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.

📧 Membership Shares
Well, hello shareholders but mostly non-shareholders. I have 1,194 shareholders but there are 3,582 people subscribed to this list.

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…
