I mentioned a while a go that I’ve had a few idea on content I’d like to write — namely, a couple of review series which I think would be pretty fun to do, and would attract an audience. As you can imagine I naturally enjoy writing about things that I, well, enjoy. That’s obvious, …

Happy 4th Of July 2019! (With More Bonus Rocket Launches!)
It’s the 4th of July and, in what’s becoming a tradition here, instead of typical fireworks I like to celebrate online with something with a little more power behind it – rockets. Old launches, more recent ones, it doesn’t matter to me, I just enjoy seeing these machines do their thing. These aren’t all going …

Reddit And Computer Elitism (Or, How Not To Actually Answer A Question) – Part 2
Yesterday I told the story of what happened on Reddit when my friend Prince Watercress decided to ask a relatively simple tech support question in the Windows 10 subreddit. To put the relatively long story short, while one person provided actual advice (from their own experience) which didn’t solve the problem but was still helpful, …

Reddit And Computer Elitism (Or, How Not To Actually Answer A Question) – Part 1
My buddy Prince Watercress had a bit of an issue a few nights ago. After updating his PC to Windows 10 build 1903 his system would start up in the middle of the night which, as you could imagine, was a bit of an annoyance to him. Now, Watercress decided to ask on Reddit, namely …

What’s Coming For July 2019 On Xadara
We’re at the end of the month, which means another update article on this chaotic little site I like to call my digital home. We’re at the middle of the year now – 2019 is halfway done and so far, eh, it’s been an okay year. I’ve been busy, a bit more busy than I …

My Top 10 Michael Jackson Songs
A few years ago I wrote an article titled “My Top 10 80’s Songs That Aren’t By Michael Jackson.” That article was written with the intention that I would do a top 10 Michael Jackson song list, and as you can tell from the title, this is that article. Today, June 25th 2019, marks 10 …

Prince Watercress Comments On New Coke
From time to time I like to give a little space for my friend Prince Watercress to share thoughts, comments, what have you. Today I thought I’d give our echidna obsessed friend a chance to share his comments on New Coke. He ordered some the same time I did, and, in retrospect, had this to …

The New Coke Experience
Last Tuesday my Stranger Things Coke order, which included 2 cans of the infamous 1985 “New Coke” formula, came in . This is something I’ve been wanting to try for much of my life, but especially over the past few years have been thinking Coke as a company should bring back in some capacity and, …

Goodbye YouTube
Yes, I know it’s quite the dramatic title. Figured I’d use tactics that were common on YouTube to get some extra attention to this article — more than it already would get naturally. “Play their game” as they say. The other night I finally committed to a decision I had been considering for some time …

10 Years Ago: The Digital TV Transition In The United States
Today, June 12th 2019 marks 10 years since the mandated day that terrestrial television — you know, the “over the air” type you get with an antenna — was set to end analog broadcasts and go “all digital.” It’s actually one hell of a complicated story — far too much for me to go into …

A Word On Old Blog Posts – An (Archival) Update
When you have a site like mine, one which has had well over 1000 entries posted over the years, things become a bit of a mess to maintain. It isn’t just as much an issue with tagging and overall organization, but actual site resources — old images you don’t use anymore being the main issue. …

What’s Coming For June 2019 On Xadara
Oh, is it really the start of another month already? It seems like May was quite short, but that was probably due to a combination of being extremely busy followed by extremely sick throughout the entire month! Anyway, right, what’s the plan? I obviously haven’t been able to get to as much this past month …

Free Video Game Day 2019
I’m a few weeks behind on writing about this, but I wanted to share the experience of Free Video Game Day 2019 for those who may find it interesting from the point of view of the retailers. The event is simply a way for game stores to give back to their customer base. The idea …

Slowly Getting Back To Normal – An Update
It’s amazing how long it takes to actually fully get over some illnesses. In my case, I’m fighting the tail end of that sinus crud that’s pretty much been pulling me down all month, and while I didn’t miss much work due to it, I haven’t had the energy or drive to write stuff here. …

I, For One, Welcome The Return Of New Coke
I’ve only been wanting to try it for most of my life. Time to explain. We all know the story. Coca-Cola was losing market share in soft drinks to Pepsi. The legendary, nearly century old Coke Formula seemed “stale” to the American populace. Something needed to done, and the answer was to change things. A …
