New Life: So, I’ve finally finished my thesis. Wow. Thank goodness that’s over. I only have one more project to do, and it’s a video, so that should be little to no sweat. I’ll be graduating in just over a week! From there I’ll move into an apartment with a couple other cool froods. What am I going to do then? Get a job? Psh. I’ve got one big work project at the beginning of summer and then a fairly clean slate. I plan on doing some web design work/practice, but for the most part, I plan on blogging.
That’s it. Blogging. Live the American dream, right there.
I’m hoping I can bring Tofugu back to the 4-5 posts a week blog it once was, and without cutting quality. In fact, I’m hoping to increase the quality. I really like this website, and I want it to be better than it is right now. I plan on doing more videos and coming up with more original articles (stuff you won’t find anywhere else, yeah?). I’m really excited to be able to dedicate time to blogging before reality comes to knock on my door (probably in August or September, when my savings runs out). I’ll even be writing in a couple more blogs…but more on that later.
New Theme: In case you didn’t notice, Tofugu got itself a big face lift. I’ve finally decided to give up on Interneet Explorer 6…so, if you are using it, it’s really time to upgrade to something better. As long as you’re using something newer than IE6, you should be fine. Other than that, I’m really happy with the new layout, and I hope you enjoy it. Let me know of any problems you run across. I wasn’t able to test every nook and cranny, so if you can send an email my way if something breaks, that would be wonderful.
New Site: So, I’m starting two new sites. One of them will officially start going today, and the other will start up in a couple of weeks. The first one is “Vlogly.” It’s all about learning about vlogging, and ultimately, how to make a living doing it (impossible, right?). I’ve had the honor of writing Tofugu and Koichiben for a while now, and I’ve learned a lot of stuff about blogging and vlogging. Although I’m no Youtube superstar or anything, I’m really interested in sharing what I’ve learned with anyone who might be interested in starting a vlog or improving the vlog that they already have.
The other site that I’m starting is kind of an old site: “BoxedTofu.com.”
This, basically, is a personal blog. I’ve really enjoyed writing Tofugu and Koichiben, but I’ve also always wished for a place to write about “other” stuff. Tofugu, Koichiben, and now Vlogly, all have very specific topics, so I’m excited to use BoxedTofu as my off-topic blog. I’ll probably start writing in this one a couple weeks from now.
*One thing you should know about both of my new sites (Vlogly & BoxedTofu) is that I use my first name in them (so don’t get confused). Koichi, the name I use here, is my middle name. Just an FYI so you don’t think I’m making up names here.
Thank You Cards: So, I owe a lot of you thank you cards. I’ll begin writing those next week at the pace of ten a day. That means I’ll be done with all of them in a month. Sorry about the long delay on them, but drawing and writing 300 thank you cards is a big task, no matter who you are.
So that does it for Tofugu news. I’ll start getting on track sometime next week. Thanks for reading, and thanks for watching. I really appreciate all the support thus far!
