Getting started is always the hardest part for me. Here are three things you can do to start meaningful engagement in the Portland startup community RIGHT NOW 🫶

Three easy ways to immediately connect with the Portland startup community

It’s very late. I’m awake. I did not move the furniture. I wrote about wanting to instead. That counts as growth, right? New post: midnight musical chairs… camikaos.com/2026/01/10/m...

Sometimes the thing you judge hardest is the thing you do on your worst day... like me yesterday. camikaos.com/2026/01/06/s...

turns out my personality lives in a notebook. who knew. camikaos.com/2026/01/02/l...

This looks like a post about cheese. It’s actually about loss, survival, and everything you don’t consent to giving up. And cheese. 👉https://camikaos.com/2025/12/31/i-give-up/

Our government’s priorities are entirely backward. And purposefully so.

Happiest of holidays and the most restful of downtimes to you and yours 🎅

It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas as I feel in my back the idiot choice made yesterday to wrap gifts on the floor…

There is a special rotting place for people who listen to videos without headphones in coffee shops...

We’re at the point in our holiday movie watching where pretty much everything left on the list will make us cry. So today’s movie watching will be totes fun.

It's not often that you see a Portland startup acquire another Portland startup. But that's exactly what happened this week. Beginly Health has acquired ProviderJobs siliconflorist.com/2025/12/12/p...

Ugh. Wishing my best to friends in Japan. 😞 www.cnn.com/2025/12/08/a...

Energy? Unreliable. Mindfulness? Necessary. Pinball metaphors? Apparently my whole personality today. camikaos.com/2025/12/05/t...

My pain tried to get poetic last night. I’m still deciding whether to let it... camikaos.com/2025/12/03/p...

Not one of my typical "startup" conversations, but really glad I had the opportunity to sit down and chat about intersectionality youtu.be/chlRz9pgEhU

Spoiler: it’s people. Soylent green is people.

New post up: “Finding Tuesday…” On the strange art of not overdoing it, even when my brain insists I should. camikaos.com/2025/12/02/f...

Remember kids, if it grows underground start with cold water, rather than adding to boiling water* #thanksgiving * Any former resident of Idaho** is required by law to impart this wisdom ** Yes. Like the Built to Spill*** song *** Yes. I did go to high school with their first two drummers

Chatting about building @bsky.app Feeds and AT Protocol with @devingaffney.com of @graze.social #atproto /cc @atprotocol.dev @atproto.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=luP_...

Been dreaming up the perfect event for Portland Startup Week 2026…? Well the wait is over. Please commence submitting events. siliconflorist.com/2025/11/18/p...

Was it Strawberries or Was it Stress? A story about hives, chronic illness, hypervigilant bodies, and the absolute chaos of trying to rest when your nervous system thinks you’re being hunted. If you’ve ever been allergic to your own life… this one’s for you. camikaos.com/2025/11/13/w...

New episode just dropped with Corey Scholibo of dayo www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkhH...

Felt well enough to work from a coffee shop for a couple of hours before I go visit the bloodsuckers for another round of bloodwork. Which is good since I'll probably crash on the couch for the rest of the day when I'm done...

New rule: When I have to sit on hold with the Doctors' office, I get to play Animal Crossing for the length of the hold plus 20 minutes.

Some people greet the sunrise. I just… survive it. This morning was less “rise and shine” and more “negotiate with gravity and regret.” camikaos.com/2025/11/05/u... If you’ve ever lost a staring contest with 4 a.m., this one’s for you.

It's not often that the words "heartwarming" and "inspirational" jump to mind when I think about coding — of any kind. At first blush, "vibe coding" may seem unserious. But in reality, it holds the potential to empower folks to build the solutions they need. Case in point. /cc @vibes.diy

This week on @overcommitted.dev , we chatted with @turoczy.bsky.social about the Portland Incubator Experiment and what it takes to be a founder! New episode out tomorrow! You won't want to miss this one 👀

I just broke up a fight between my partner and a smart home device…

reading a horrible list of "not scary" Halloween movies, and I think someone is confused. The presence of humor does not indicate a lack of terror...

No stress. No gotchas. No difficult questions. Just you pitching your startup to some old dude on the Internet — and anyone else who will listen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZWo...

This Halloween I’m trick-or-treating and ordering in Portland style. camikaos.com/2025/10/23/t... Who else is doing great Halloween stuff in Portland right now? Drop your fave locals below. I’m trick-or-treating Portland one small biz at a time.

It’s getting to be a full-time job hunting for services, stores, and websites that don’t directly support N@z1s.

There’s a kind of mask we don’t talk about enough. Not the one we wear to fit in… the one we build to survive. This week’s Masking Monday is about pretending your body isn’t falling apart and smiling through it anyway. camikaos.com/2025/10/20/m...

Rick says she won’t fit in the car. But the baby one will.

If you’re headed north on I5 south of portland you might want to take 205…

I love the way Portland loves.

Yesterday I got to go see a performance of Oregon Ballet Theatre’s DRACULA - along with @camikaos.bsky.social & @semaphoria.bsky.social - and it was lovely and gothic and #highlyrecommend www.obt.org/event/dracula/

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US. 𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚕. 𝚆𝚎 𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚆𝚒𝚗.

The couple in costumes said they wanted to bring joy to the protests and show that demonstrators are "fun loving people."

We're heading to downtown Portland shortly - thankfully, I can check this resource to see what's ahead! isportlandburning.com

This is the kind of ‘hate’ mail we get at @lezwatchtv.com 1. Buddy, all words are made up 2. The term appears to have been coined in 1914 3. It is hateful to deny someone their identity 4. How bored are you to actually write that message?

I was about to say “Not to get all heavy on you on a Monday morning,” but it’s Thursday and time is a flat circle. Anyway. Here’s a post about Portland. camikaos.com/2025/10/09/d...

I hope for a is it snowing collab in the months to come.

This month’s Dear Cami started with a letter from @penguin.bsky.social asking how I journal, eat, meditate—basically, how I keep going. www.wearegalpal.com/museletter/d... (or ask me something messy, tender, or impossible for a future column: tinyurl.com/dearcami

It’s the snow of food franchises. Portland is obsessed.
