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 …

An Extended Vacation, You Could Say…
It’s been a month since my last post to Xadara. Over a month really. I’m normally not one to post much, but to have no new content in almost 5 weeks is odd, even for me. This article basically serves to at least freshen up the front page of my site, as well as to …

Sometimes, you are your own worst Critic
I am always creating something. I am the kind of person who is thinking nonstop about new things to write, new photo opportunities, and all kinds of other random ideas and projects. The problem is, I never tend to publish the majority of what I come up with. I never like any of it, due …

A Moving Experience
I don’t normally talk about my personal life on here, save for the occasional fact that would make for an interesting article. Otherwise, I keep mostly to myself, and only write about things I like, rather than things that happen to me. Sometimes, however, an experience warrants an article. Like, without warning, moving to a …

Why don’t you go take a hike? Go outside!
No, seriously, why don’t you? Spring is in full force (at least, for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere) and when it’s not raining or storming, it’s the perfect weather to go outside and enjoy some fresh air, a cool breeze, and some good old sunlight! That’s what I did today, actually. Spending all …

How do you validate your efforts?
Every single day, we do a countless multitude of things. Some tiny, little tasks we forget about moments after completing them, while others can be life changing events. The question we all wonder at one point or another is, why do we do this? Honestly, think for a moment why you do most tasks. The …

Why I blog
It’s a question virtually anyone who writes will ask themselves. Why do I do this? Why do I write? I never intended to be a blogger. I never thought anything of the idea, honestly. It seemed silly to sit there and write about random things. Honestly, who would read such? Who would care, right? Then, …

No! The camera on your cell phone isn’t good enough!
A few weeks ago I took a trip to the local zoo. I haven’t been in a few years, so it was a good chance to test out my newer camera equipment. I have a saying that a x26 zoom can give you some incredible shots, mainly due to the way focus works on such …

The services you use are bad because I say so
Everyone has that one situation, where you are discussing the online services you use, and someone has to ruin the party by saying that the service you have been satisfied with for years on in is absolutely terrible, and you are a bad person for choosing such. My online life has certainly been no exception, …

More than just technology
Over the years, I have done several changes to this website. Originally as a simple way to host some forums and a few software projects I was working on, it eventually evolved into the blog you see before you. The problem is, the site has always retained a sort of technology focused nature to it. …

Too ambitious?
As is obvious from the very presence of this website, I can sometimes be a rather ambitious person. I will often begin projects without any thought as to how I will get around to completing them. I often have three, four, or sometimes five separate ideas, all being worked on at once. The result? Nothing …
