# JC Cangilla

> Personal site of JC Cangilla, Los Angeles. Twenty years in media and
> tech (Yahoo, New Form, Meta). Most recently, a consulting practice,
> Linslow, that helps creative businesses with their really tough problems and
> occasionally finds them investors. The past few years: a men's club,
> the California coast on foot every April, short stories with a few
> friends, a show-and-tell for people building cool things, and a few
> questions answered every morning. The home page says this in two paragraphs, then lists things
> also true; the FAQ at /faq.html is where the longer answers hang.

## Pages

- [Home](https://jccangilla.com/): two paragraphs on what JC does, each
  thing opening its own tile in place; then a list of things also true
  (marathons, the Kenyon fouls record, the watermelons, the surprise
  wedding, the plywood Teen Wolf, Lascari, calculus at 45); then the
  six places he builds, as an Elsewhere row.
- [FAQ](https://jccangilla.com/faq.html): the questions people ask,
  each answered in a drawer. The long answers hang off it. It is also
  the /now page: /now redirects here.
- [Friends](https://jccangilla.com/friends): a blogroll in the
  slashfriends.org convention, people JC knows and people whose work he
  follows. Public, but deliberately out of the site header.
- [Changelog](https://jccangilla.com/changelog/): how this site got the
  way it is, newest first, with the maker's notes in the margin.

## Writing

- [Same job, twenty years later](https://jccangilla.com/writing/customer-service-experiment.html):
  the customer service job JC had in 2006, and the one he built in 2026
  to run a subscription business with an LLM. Seven artifacts, including
  the procedures manual he mailed to himself on the way out the door.
- [Every other Tuesday](https://jccangilla.com/writing/every-other-tuesday.html):
  what happens at Tuesday Men's Club, told from the end of the night
  backwards: the parking lot, the huddle, the Grab Bar, the sit, the
  circle, the door, and the car. Three short videos and one long one.
- [Record yourself](https://jccangilla.com/writing/record-yourself.html):
  why JC keeps a record of himself: notebooks since he was 16, two pages
  from a 2002 spiral notebook, the systems that worked until they didn't,
  and the morning practice now, with what to do tomorrow morning.
- [2025 Annual Review](https://jccangilla.com/writing/2025-annual-review.html),
  and the same letter for
  [2024](https://jccangilla.com/writing/2024-annual-review.html),
  [2023](https://jccangilla.com/writing/2023-annual-review.html) and
  [2022](https://jccangilla.com/writing/2022-annual-review.html).
  One a year, each January, written to himself and published anyway.
- The intention-scoring report is still being reworked (September 2026).
  Ask by email for the current draft.
