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.

for those of you worried about the war zone I'm living in... siliconflorist.com/2025/10/01/p...

Dear hearts, the October issue is brewing… But I can’t finish it without you. If you’ve got a question—messy, honest, hard, or strange—you’ve got until Monday, Sept 29 to throw it my way. Feed me your dilemmas. Feed me your chaos. Feed me your questions. tinyurl.com/camikaos

very interesting to have a rapture on bisexual visibility day.

After a weekend off the internet... I'm terrified to look at anything.

Having finally watched 28 Years Later over the weekend, the only thing I can say is that it's already time to watch it again.

Took 48 hours off social + news. Didn’t read a thing, didn’t post a thing. For two days it was like I didn’t exist, and honestly? Bliss. camikaos.com/2025/09/22/d...

Now that I've started Dear Cami, an advice column for neurodivergent folks and the people who love us, I find myself with an insatiable need for questions. I hunger for them. Like brains. Feed me. Submit your question: tinyurl.com/camikaos

Anyone know where I can get 8mm or 10mm tungsten beads? I'm working on something weighted...

Natural is overrated. Pink is better. Masking Monday: Not Natural, But Real camikaos.com/2025/09/16/m...

Manners matter… Kindness matters more… Rejection stings… Silence corrodes. Especially in hiring. Especially in community. I wrote about why ghosting isn’t kindness—it’s just bad manners. camikaos.com/2025/09/11/m...

Sometimes the cartoon version of me feels more real than the one you know. Latest Masking Monday... camikaos.com/2025/09/08/m...

If Portland is hell, I feel like a whole lot of us Portland folks need to update our avatars... @turoczy.bsky.social vibe coded this little demonic glow-up filter to make it easier... rhythmic-mercury-8426.vibesdiy.app Here's mine

Really hoping the @trailblazers.bsky.social and @portlandfire.bsky.social take advantage of this “Welcome to hell” marketing opportunity

The pure joy I feel visiting a friend's island and running into one of my former island residents. Animal Crossing is so full of tiny glimmers 🩷🩷🩷

It was a slow news week… until it wasn't. I swear I had my script all figured out until that email came in. youtu.be/8O5gILMdWjc

Said it before and I'll say it again. Sigh...

🚨 We all know homosexual women use Halloween to recruit unsuspecting good girls into witchcraft. Now Nerds are joining their woke agenda!!! Look at this whole package of lesbian flag-colored Nerds gummy clusters!!! In the gayest shape possible: basketballs! BEWARE!

Sent out yet another weekly recap of what happened in Portland, Oregon, startups and technology. Just like I have each week for the 814 weeks before that one. Only about 4 years until issue 1000. open.substack.com/pub/siliconf...

The word 'milieu' isn't used enough in everyday conversation.

Back on thyroid meds. Dread and hope, both sitting on my chest at 4am. Why not write about it... camikaos.com/2025/08/27/t...
