Some numbers. $2,500 is left on our fundraiser. We're halfway. I'd freaking love to hit that.

But if we can't, bare-bones I need $300 for a generator rental (we are off-grid and fully self-powered. More funds and I'll do bigger solar this gear), $100 for educational decor, and I pulled $700 from my (meager) savings for poorer campers already.

$1,100 would do a LOT.

Two people dressed in femme outfits leaning in opposite directions each helping two younger kids with a soldering project on folding tables outdoors in a pop-up tent. Behind them hang colorful posters talking about electronics.
A woman in an aesthetic outfit is standing in front of a large group of colorfully dressed people showing off something on an iPad. Behind her are various glowing LED projects.
A glowing blue tent with a rainbow sign at the top that says "There U Glow" at the top has green overlayed text. The text reads "An all femme and queer founded, designed and run electronics camp in Portland, Oregon We are aggressively grassroots and rudely dedicated to femme folks who are freshly interested and/or fiercely expert in technical skill. We kick ass and open our source in equal measure. Keep track, we won’t stop." At the bottom is "www.thereuglow.club"

Just published a new post: "AI Models in 2025: Co-Pilots, Not Autopilots" 🚀
I've been testing the latest AI models (GPT 4.5, o3-mini, Claude 3.7, Gemini 2.0) and honestly? The hype balloon is still floating (sadly), but maybe not as high as the marketing suggests.

Yes, Claude 3.7's handling of complex front-end issues is impressive, and Gemini 2.0's 2M token context is genuinely useful for large projects.

BUT they're still making basic errors no experienced dev would make.
The real innovation isn't making AI do everything—it's making it do specific things well as our co-pilot, not replacement.

Another week, another "revolutionary" LLM has been released. And here we go again. Everyone rushes to create an account, play with it, and share their opinions on social media.

LLMs are the new JavaScript frameworks... Except they take, well, a bit more than an open-source developer and a laptop to build.

Is anyone else feeling LLM fatigue? Wondering if it’s even worth creating an account to test yet another tool?

Daily Inspiration: "Every single trend is both an existential threat and a transformative opportunity at the same moment in time!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

The buzz is that everyone is going to lose their job.

After all, that's what the media is telling everyone with breathless coverage such as this headline from the Washington Post: "ChatGPT took their jobs. Now they walk dogs and fix air conditioners." The subheading? "Technology used to automate dirty and repetitive jobs. Now, artificial intelligence chatbots are coming after high-paid ones."

This is the topic I took on two days ago when five Chicago area contractor union organizations had me in for a packed session on the impact of AI on the construction industry. Known as MARBA (the Mid-American Regional Bargaining Association), the organizations that participated in bringing me included the Great Lakes Construction Association (GLCA), Midwest Wall & Ceiling Contractors Association, Chicagoland AGC, the Mason Contractors Association of Greater Chicago, and the Underground Contractors Association.

Think about what these folks have been hearing - that AI is going to doom the typical construction worker, and that robots will be doing all the work. It's all a part of the hype and hysteria that surrounds AI, so let's take a look at how I took that topic on during my talk, by going through the slides I shared.
