Some Changes At Tofugu

Hey All.

Before we go on a short break for the 4th of July holiday, I wanted to relay some changes happening on Tofugu effective today.

First, Hashi will be leaving his post as Editor to move on to other things. We’ll certainly all miss his posts and editing services, so let’s all thank him for the time he’s put into shaping Tofugu into what it is today! (Thank you)

For the time being I’ll be taking over the editing duties and will be making a few changes.

  1. There will be no more Saturday and Sunday posts, at least for now. There’s a couple of reasons for this. First, while I realize there are a few die-hard fans of the Saturday Timewaster and Sunday News series, there just wasn’t enough people reading them to continue writing them (especially while we have a shorter writing staff right now). Second, it means our illustrator Aya can have a little bit of weekend time to herself for once :p
  2. Going to focus on quality and depth for posts. Harkens back to point #1. I want to focus efforts on fewer posts of higher quality. We’re still planning to write five posts a week, though. So don’t worry, you’ll get your fill. Most likely you’ll be seeing longer posts during the week and then a lot of the shorter posts showing up in the newsletter.

That should be about it for now. Thanks so much for being such awesome readers. We’ll see you back here on Monday! Have a great holiday even if it’s not a holiday for you.

    Hashi is a seriously great writer and hella funny, and i very much enjoy his articles. :/ You will definitely be missed Hashi.
    Good Luck with your future endeavors!! :)
    Koichi, you and Viet’s writing is also great, and I guess at some point, business has to be about change and adaptation ~ugh! change and adaptation! D’; but, you guys have a great team, and got to build Tofugu with a great writer and editor, so, that was a wonderful and lucky thing! :) Now, into ~The Future~ you go! Good Luck with all of your changes, and present and future endeavors, as well!! :)
