  • The Sacred Appliance

    The Sacred Appliance

    Jona Bechtolt’s new installation is four microwaves spinning on a platter, each displaying video of something inside a microwave. It’s about the screen we all stopped watching, and why that might be the most forward-thinking subject an artist can choose right now.

  • The Bot That Finished Second

    The Bot That Finished Second

    Every month, KmikeyM shareholders play a poker tournament. $50 buy-in. Real money. Real stakes. The second Tuesday of every month since 2020. (Join us!) On February 10, 2026, for the first time, an AI sat down at the table. K5M Guy was a Claude-powered AI agent and I fronted it the $50. I was in…

  • Trapped in UnSAFE Conditions

    Trapped in UnSAFE Conditions

    When I learned that Sahil Lavingia, founder of Gumroad, volunteered with DOGE to help gut services at the VA, I faced an ethical crisis. Trapped in a SAFE with no exit, I offered to surrender my investment at a loss. He refused. This is a story of value vs. values.

  • Membership Shares

    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…

  • DBA

    DBA

    Last month the shareholders decided I should not (yet) create a corporation. I was surprised, but I appreciate the expertise of my shareholders who voted to reduce complexity. I was also a little sad, because I thought it would be fun to name a company. Then I realized that as a sole proprietor I can…

  • Book Title Bounty

    Book Title Bounty

    Kevin and I are working on the book proposal for KmikeyM, and while I’m biased, I will say that it’s going pretty well! We have an outline, a sample chapter that we are cleaning up, and our agent seems pretty excited about it. One thing we do not have is a title. I am not…

  • Shareholder Roadshow

    Shareholder Roadshow

    When a company is going to IPO they will often do a “roadshow” and make presentations on why they are a great investment to institutional investors. As a publicly traded person I am adopting a more personal version of a roadshow: a road trip. I want to meet as many shareholders as possible! Starting in…

  • RFC: Improve Tournaments Airtable

    RFC: Improve Tournaments Airtable

    Here is a quick overview of the Shareholder Poker Tournament Airtable and my problem of having to enter the participants twice in order to get it to work. I think there is a better way, and it’s probably related to how I structured the data, but this is still new to me. Do you know…

  • CTRL ALTZ: Magic Cards

    CTRL ALTZ: Magic Cards

    When shareholder Kyle Barry told me he was presenting at the 2020 Shareholder Conference on investing in Magic cards I asked if he had any for sale. He sold me a Taiga, which is now part of my Alternative Assets portfolio.
