About Michael J. Zenz

This is my personal website and blog A Jumbled Little World. Here I’ve written about ethics, politics, urbanism, coffee, and many other topics. I also maintain Madison Councilytics. This seeks to provide unbiased open data resources about Madison WI city government, and in particular its primary legislative body the Common Council.

I also live-tweet (ok, Bluesky) Madison Common Council and Plan Commission meetings - it’s a bit of a habit at this point. You can find a link to my account above.

I have a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Maryland and a BA in Philosophy and Psychology from the University of Wisconsin - Madison. I also currently work as a Policy and Planning Analyst in Academic Information Management at UW-Madison.
