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, […]
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 […]
Yep, we’re pulling out that dirty word here on Xadara — Backlog. The backlog is what happens when I don’t get around to writing about some topics which interest me, but aren’t super urgent. Things I make note of to cover, but never get around to. It’s a constant source of stress and annoyance when […]
I’m a bit late to the party writing this one up, but as is tradition for the first post of the new year I’m taking to writing my possibly overly optimistic plans for the next 365 days or so. Right, let’s get to it. 2018 proved to be a rough year, much like 2017. My […]
Oh, look, it’s the end of the year. Cool. While a bit arbitrary it’s still an event happening, and is usually sued as a good point for recapping the past and for starting something new. That being the case, why not recap 2018 here on Xadara and put it all into perspective? Let’s begin. The […]
Yep. It’s another one of these posts. I know, I do this often, but there’s a reason. Beyond the fact I like to “think out loud” at times, I also find writing on the subject to be beneficial to me getting over whatever block I have happening at the moment, and right now we’ve got […]
Oh, hello there. It’s been a while. Again. I’ve been desperately wanting to write something more substantial here for the past few days but I’ve been quite busy for reasons that, if the title above doesn’t make clear enough, I’ll talk about here for a little while. I work in a used game store. A […]
Anyone who has followed this site over the past few years will notice a few constants about what I write about – technology, gaming, social commentary, and space and rocketry. Given the depth of the articles I’ve written on the subject, my absolute love of that last category, space, and rocketry, is well documented. Even […]
I’m going to try to make this post short and rather to the point, but knowing how I am with things, this will be another 300-500 word mini-essay on one topic. To put what I want to say here in its simplest terms, things are changing around here. Some elements will be more obvious than […]
It’s been a good 16 days since I last wrote anything for this website. The last time I had that much of a gap between posts was probably 2 and a half years ago before I decided I’d try to write more often here and eventually focused on one article a day as a general […]
Dang, it’s been a week since the last major post here. All I’ve done since then are a few update posts which really haven’t been all that necessary. Right, I guess it’s time to get back to normal around here. I’m going to try to keep this short and to the point – no need […]
Back in September, I set myself out on a personal challenge to write an entry a day here, regardless of the content. The entire point of this project was not to write about anything in particular but to simply commit to a more steady writing pattern. As 2018 had progressed I had written far less […]
It’s the beginning of the month, time for the obligatory “what’s coming” article, and this one’s going to be something else. I know every month, it seems, I write one of these, and every month I say the same old things. You’re tired of it, I’m tired of it, everyone is tired of it. The […]
I wouldn’t normally ask, but I’d really hope everyone hitting this page does take some time to read this, to see what being a blogger can be like when things go bad. October has been an incredible month here on Xadara. I’ve cranked out more articles than nearly any other month ever, and have had […]
Last night I committed to what I had posted in my previous article (Why I’m Ditching The Graphene WordPress Theme) and said adios to the overall much beloved and very well used Graphene theme which I had run on my site for many years now, instead switching to what has been an alternative for some […]
