I love burritos, biking as everyday transportation, and Ultimate Frisbee.</p> <p>I&rsquo;ve been interested in micro investment ever since my teen years, when I thought it should be legal for people to invest in my assorted schemes. In 1993, to this aim, I created the unsuccessful website <a href="http://premisespremises.com">Premises, Premises</a>. Last year I wrote about <a href="http://boingboing.net/2009/02/24/cultural-speculation.html">Cultural Speculation</a> and <a href="http://boingboing.net/2009/12/13/adventures-in-ex-ant.html">Crowdfunded Securities</a> as a guestblogger for <a href="http://boingboing.net">boingboing</a>.</p>
