Here is the Xadara GameChat for September 7th, 2014. This episode had quite a bit to cover, and I was rather tired while recording, but it seems Watercress enjoyed it. I had originally posted this under the title “September 24th” which is immpossible considering it’s only the 9th at the time of me editing this. …

Doctor Who S8E2 “Into The Dalek” Review
Doctor Who Series 8 seems to be off to a solid start. The 50 year old science fiction saga is still going through the process of re-introducing us to the titular character of The Doctor after his regeneration, and as seems to be tradition early in the introduction of a new Doctor, the second episode …

Doctor Who S8E1 “Deep Breath” Review
After a nearly 9 month wait, Doctor Who is back on the air with Series 8, Episode 1 “Deep Breath.” This episode is important because it is the premier of Peter Capaldi as the Doctor. The change of any actor in a show is a major one, but for a character like the Doctor, it’s …

Xadara GameChat – August 24th, 2014
Here is the GameChat for August 24th, 2014. This was a pretty good GameChat, in my opinion. I don’t know what happened at about 12 minutes in, so a warning for EXTREMELY loud sound at that point. Past that though, I think the topics discussed and the ideas expressed were valid, and interesting enough. —– …

An Anticlimactic Return!
Surprise! I’m not dead! But this website sure has been! Yes, I have been neglecting Xadara. In fact, it has been months since my last post here, which was in April. Ironically, that very post was about me, well, acknowledging that I do not post enough. I’m tired of not posting, and I know the …

Xadara Gamechat: August 6th, 2014
The August 6th, 2014 Xadara Gamechat episode. Prince Watercress and I find this to have been one of our best episodes ever. Something about the energy and the general flow we had was just great to us. This was the first time I tried to edit music into to the program, with us also taking …

Xadara Gamechat – June 3rd, 2014
Nothing special here. Just the first major Xadara GameChat. A good, albeit somewhat simple start to what will become the final form of the podcast series.
It’s been a while, hasn’t it?
A few days ago, I wrote my first article for this website in 2 months. 2 solid months of no activity here, on my website. The question someone would ask, of course, is why? What happened? Much of nothing would be a way to describe the past few months. A few things have changed in …

Windows XP End of Support – My Thoughts.
Today is the day Windows XP dies. As I begin typing this article, it is Midnight, the morning of April 8th, 2014. Microsoft official support of any kind for Windows XP, its nearly 13 year old indescribably successful computer operating system, has ended. I, for one, am glad to see this day finally come. While …

Apollo 1
Space travel is an incredibly risky business. Sadly, there have been lives lost in the effort to reach the stars. We all know the loss of the Space Shuttles Columbia and Challenger. I remember waking up that morning on February 1st, 2003, the morning after my 18th birthday, to see on the news that Columbia had …

Retrogaming: My reason for playing old games
I’ve been playing video games virtually my entire life. I grew up during the Nintendo era, and as far back as I can remember, all those bright lights and cool sounds have caught my attention more than most anything else. Elementary, Middle, and High School years were spent with much of my free time in …

Midnight Musings: Worked too hard?
So, another Midnight Musing that is being written at about 10 pm. I just love how inaccurate my titles are! Tonight, I wanted to talk about a trend I am noticing with friends and loved ones alike, and even myself at times. That is, are people working too hard? I don’t mean on personal pursuits …

Midnight Musings
Okay, so it’s not really midnight. It’s 10 PM on a Wednesday, and I really should be asleep, but I felt like making a post because, it’s my site, and I can do what I want! I know I have written this same article before, but it’s worth going over again that I simply never …

Apollo 8 Genesis Reading: 45 Years Later
On December 24th, 1968, from a distance of over 200,000 miles from Earth, the crew of Apollo 8 decided during their Christmas Eve broadcast to do a reading from the Book of Genesis. To them, this perfectly fit the way the dark and light of the Moon contrasted with the colors of the Earth, and …
