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. […]
After 7 years of the Playstation 3 and the Xbox 360 being the dominant players in the home console gaming market, the time has finally come for Sony and Microsoft to begin telling the world more about the successors to the current generation of gaming consoles. The first bit of information coming out though doesn’t […]
So, something came across my Twitter feed today that kind of shocked me! Namely, this article that says, apparently, that some users demand that Microsoft bring back the Aero design interface in Windows 8: http://betanews.com/2013/02/04/do-you-want-aero-in-windows-8-fight-for-it/ For the sake of completeness, before I continue this article, let me share the the Wikipedia article on Aero.

Over two months after the release of Windows 8, the tech community seems as divided on it as the day it was released. There are those who love it, and those who hate it. The most common complaints seems to be “It was made for touch screens, you need one or it’s terrible” or something […]
As I type this, 2012 is in its last few hours. I wanted to make sure I ended the year with one major update on everything I can think of in relation to Xadara on a whole, and what my thoughts are for 2013. Without any hesitation, let’s dive right into it! I want to […]
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 […]
My thoughts on Windows 8 vs Windows RT, and how I feel RT is not being explained correctly to the customer base.
Today marks the release of the newest entry into Microsoft’s long legacy of operating systems: Windows 8. Today also marks the biggest change to Windows since the release of Windows 95, and the introduction of the Start Menu; The Start Screen. Over the past year, since the release of the developer preview in Fall of […]
One of the defining characteristics of the Guild Wars series has been its use of instances; unique events in MMO worlds that are separated from the bulk of the normal world. In many games, such events are used for unique mob spawns, such as boss battles, or special events that for whatever reason are an […]
Facebook pages can be great ways for interaction, but sometimes, things get a little too crazy…
So, it has been about 2 weeks since the release of Guild Wars 2. Let’s just say it has taken up quite a bit of my time. 😉 I have to say, the game is one of the best I have played in years. It has a unique quality among MMO’s in which random cooperation […]
Well, from the looks of it, you would think I had fallen off the face of the Earth for weeks at a time, considering how often I post to this website. I find myself to be a man who is an odd combination of too busy and too lazy to get some projects done in […]
Minecraft. A game that has seemingly taken over as one of the must-play games of the past few years. A game where you can build virtually anything, and do virtually anything. A game I never bothered with after a trial play a few years ago. Back in early 2010, I started to see the game […]
Let’s face it: mobile devices are taking over every aspect of our digital lives. Why sit in front of a massive desktop tower, or lug around a 10 lb laptop, when a tablet PC, or even your cell phone, can do everything you need to do both on and offline? With seamless integration into social […]
As always, when I feel I have not been active here when I should have, I like to make a post to let people know just what is going on. Anyone who attends conventions of any kind knows there is a wind-down period, where their normal life gets back in gear, and for me, it […]
