What I'm Focused On
Updated: May 2026
If we ran into each other after a year apart, here's what I'd tell you.
Work
Linslow is my consulting practice. Working with clients on content strategy, creator economics, and deal advisory. Spring 2026 has been about finding ways to use AI to bring subscription businesses into real-world scenarios. The work has been a process of building, shipping, and taking in lots of market feedback. Also revisiting the New Form era through a long-form post-mortem.
Groups
I enjoy some ongoing groups. I find them to be fulfilling and often get to hear myself say things that I didn't know I was thinking.
- Tuesday Men's Club. One year in. 29 sessions, biweekly at Wende Museum, Culver City.
- Short Story Discussion Group. Four friends, going on four years, 40+ sessions since 2022. Archive at ssdg.me.
School
Spring 2026 at Santa Monica College: symbolic logic and calculus. I haven't been a regular student in a long time. Showing up daily to a place, doing the homework, sitting for exams: that has changed something. Finals in June. Calculus continues this summer. The longer aim is testing whether the ground exists for more advanced mathematics or economics work.
Family
Amy runs a creative business teaching crafting, scrapbooking, and lettering. Jack is 12 and into track and gaming; he's running middle-school meets this spring. June is 5 and into everything. We went to Tokyo in March. June became obsessed with Cinnamoroll, the Sanrio character. We now have a collection of stuffed, plastic, and ceramic versions all over the house.
Writing
Daily writing practice (morning pages, almost every day for years). The 2025 Annual Review is up. Currently working on a long-form New Form Digital post-mortem: a way of thinking about what mid-form video tried to do. Plus more personal writing on the side: weekly notes, a monthly review practice, a slow-building commonplace book of quotes.
What I'm Reading
- The London Review of Books
- The Book of Eels by Patrik Svensson
- Clarice Lispector
