One of the reasons I love using WordPress to manage my site is the massive number of customization options out there for the software – between plugins providing specific extension capabilities to the site experience and themes allowing me to quickly and easily find a look and feel that works for me as a base […]
If you take a look at all the posts so far for the month of October, you will notice one common trend – they are all space related! I haven’t had a single post from the other side of things I cover, tech, gaming, and just “whatever” kind of stuff all month! The funny thing […]
A new month means a new set of plans for what I’m going to do on the site. I rather enjoy setting up a basic plan at the beginning of the month, regardless of whether I actually stick to it or not it’s at least nice to have goals, and October is going to be […]
It’s September 27th, the tail end of September and the end of my self imposed “Entry A Day” challenge where, regardless of the content, I have to publish at least one entry to this site every day in September. So far I’ve had some close calls, writing and publishing some shorter articles within minutes of midnight, […]
I feel like I picked the worst month to devote to daily writing. I’ve stayed far busier than I expected to during the past few weeks, and I feel like this isn’t going to change as we move into the last 10 days of September. The good news is that so far I’m at 24 […]
It’s the middle of the month, and I thought I would do a bit of a recap on the whole “one article per day no matter what” project. It’s quite a chore, honestly. Some days don’t permit me too much to be able to write anything substantial, while others, like yesterday, give me all the […]
I’ve got more normal content coming tomorrow, but for today I wanted to cover a thought I just had with regards to what I write on any given day; a problem that most any blogger will understand and relate to. Should you write about currently trending topics, or about topics which have withstood the test […]
Here we go, another super rushed end-of-the-night entry, but I’m keeping my “one article each day in September” goal! I’ve been debating for pretty much the entirety of this sites heavily active period (read, the past 2 and a half years) the idea of running posts on a schedule. I’ve done this before, actually, with […]
One of the older articles I’ve written here that tends to get steady traffic is the April 2017 article I wrote on the release of the Documentary for the Psycho Series by YouTube user McJuggernuggets. This (and a review article which, oddly, never seems to get hits – go figure) happened to include links to […]
So, to give you the short version of the story, I spent about 2 or 3 hours today (mixed with a few other things) cleaning up a keyboard for one of my computers. It was a recently purchased Apple A1048 Keyboard which was purchased in a dirty state. I thought, since I had the time […]
Right now it’s 11:30 P.M. I’ve got 30 minutes to figure out what I want to write about before it’s tomorrow and I effectively fail my personal challenge to write at least one article per day for September. Well, since I don’t have much time, why not a quick write-up on just why I am […]
As I’ve been slowly documenting, I’ve had quite a few Macintosh computers enter my digital life recently, and naturally I want to incorporate these machines into my workflow. Sure, I’m a blogger primarily, and you can do that on damn near any machine that can manage to run the WordPress back end, but I feel […]
I thought I’d take a bit before we get into Season 3 of Angry Video Game Nerd episodes to express just why I’m reviewing all of these episodes, as well as touch on a few other points on James and the Nerd series that are worth me saying here. The very short answer to the […]
As you may have noticed, things look a little different around here. I felt like the site needed a bit of an update, so I spent some time Saturday morning changing a few things around with quite the surprising result. I really like this new look, and the simple shift to a nearly-black background I […]
As I said I wanted to do in a previous update, comments here on Xadara are now open to whomever – no registration required, unlike how things had been for the past, oh, 5 years or more. It is my hope that this will spawn healthy discussion and fun conversation about the subject of the […]
