Graduation Day

No, this isn’t my graduation day – in fact, that was over a week ago.

However, this is initially a recognition of my graduation – yes, I have graduated from RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology) with a BFA from the New Media Design & Imaging program. I’ve got a job lined up at Struck Creative in Salt Lake City, and I’m moving down there tomorrow (or tonight, depending on your position on whether midnight constitutes ‘tomorrow’).

However, this is also a mission statement, a looking-into-the-future statement, a goal list. What you will be seeing on this blog in the months to come, as I get this whole “real life” thing figured out.

  • I will be posting! I know, it’s crazy… but I actually want to spend some time talking – maybe I can share some interesting things with friends, maybe it’s just good to practice writing and getting my thoughts on any given topic in order…
  • The blog will get a makeover (but not before the makeover I’m working on for Poorer Than You – a fantastic personal finance blog that I think anyone that, you know, spends money, should be reading.
  • It’ll be moving locations, from its current location onto my own space, adamluptak.com. (Yeah, I have my own domain name – it’s a trip).
  • Writing and sharing on a number of topics – I know that this mis-mash isn’t the recipe for “successful, professional blogging” – but for now, this is what I want to do. Share with friends, and anyone else who will listen, things that I’ve got on my mind. Maybe it’ll grow into something more focused down the road, who knows. In no particular order:
    • New Media experiments and sketches, just to grow
    • Professional and personal work
    • Random life news
    • Recipes or cooking misadventures as I try to expand my food horizons
    • Discussion of global poverty
    • Discussion of slums
    • Discussion of development (talking here about improving conditions in impoverished countries)
    • Discussion of sustainability
    • General soapboxing on any number of things.

So yeah. All of that to come soon. I don’t know if anyone is reading, but if you are – watch this space.
