Back on January 15th YouTube finally killed off the annotations feature completely on all videos. This came about a year and a half after YouTube ended the ability to create and edit annotations in any form, rendering those existing on videos as “stuck” so to speak, and not allowing any newly uploaded videos to take …

Before I Try Apex Legends…
I wanted to get my thoughts out on Apex Legends here on launch day before I give the game a try. It’s very rare that I would do something like this but for this game, well, I felt it at least worth doing, and getting thoughts out before I play it — when my opinion …

Remember The Typewriter Journal Project? That Failed Miserably…
I’m going to keep this one short. Remember that Typewriter Journal Project I wrote about in mid January? Yeah, literally that same night was the last entry in it. Over the next couple of weeks I found myself too busy to really keep up with it. I had realized some entries were kind of a …

About Those Recent Xbox Live Outages
In a bit of current gaming news that spawned some “discussion” worth commenting on, Microsoft had some issues this past week regarding their Xbox Live service. Now, I didn’t pay too much attention to this for two reasons – one, I was busy, and two, when I did fire up my Xbox One during said …

34
It would appear my birthday has come around again, which means another chance for me to post some kind of introspective article that I can look back to in a year and think “oh, okay, I wrote that. Cool.” In all seriousness, I do enjoy the chance to reflect from year to year, and without …

The Legendary “1984” Commercial
You would be hard pressed to find someone who really cares about computer history, or that of Apple, who isn’t aware of the “1984” commercial announcing the Macintosh. Directed by Ridley Scott (of Alien fame) the commercial depicts a dystopian future where a “Big Brother” figure, displayed on a massive screen, talks to a mass …

A Happy 35th Birthday To The Macintosh
On January 24th 1984, Apple released the original Macintosh computer. That was 35 years ago today and, surprisingly, I’ve seen very little discussion about this online beyond where you would usually expect to see it – some hardcore fan discussion, a tweet from Apple CEO Tim Cook, and a few news pieces, certainly, but nothing …

This Post Brought To You Buy A Dead Graphics Card
Nothing lasts forever. Things break down over time, and inevitably everything needs to be replaced. This is something most people grow to accept pretty early in life, but no matter how used to this fact you get, it still sucks when something does fail, especially unexpectedly. In this case, as the title suggests, the graphics …

Some Hosting Improvements, And Site Consolidation – An Update
Time for yet another update – this time one regarding all my projects, of which Xadara is really the only one that has been going steady. To make a long story short, January has been a pretty productive month, albeit with some challenges, for me and hosting. On New Years Day I discovered why the …

I Replaced My First PlayStation 4 HDMI Port The Other Day
In case you didn’t know, PlayStation 4 consoles, mainly the original series but this is still somewhat true with the Slimline models, have incredibly fragile HDMI ports. While no HDMI port will withstand deliberate attempts to break it, PlayStation 4 ports seem to break far more readily than most any other console in the past …

The Typewriter Journal Project
I enjoy writing. That should be known from the large quantity of content I’ve written over the past few years. I also enjoy machines — at least, ones that catch my interest. I’ve written before about my love of the typewriter and how I discovered that I enjoyed them (all by a fluke accident, honestly.) …

Who Is Kurisu Yamato?
This is one of those questions someone has to have asked when seeing me online – just who in the hell actually is this person with the strange Japanese username? It’s a natural question to have, and I figured with us starting off the year why not provide a bit of an explanation as to …

Hi. It’s Been A While, Again.
Oh, great, I went a week without posting anything. Go figure. I’m not going to lie and act like I’ve been super busy and just haven’t been able to update things here – I’ve had time, but I’ve been working on a few other projects. Actually, I’ve been pretty darn productive over the past week, …

The 2019 Plans of Prince Watercress
Continuing a tradition started last year, I’ve decided to devote an entry today to the plans of my good buddy Prince Watercress. He’s certainly an awesome friend, and one of the most prolific content creators I’ve ever known. I’m completely serious. To give you a very simple summary, this guy has: a retrogaming blog, a …
