The fact that Google has so much power over how people run their websites is nothing short of a travesty to the very nature of the world wide web. They, in effect, strong arm website authors and administrators into using various techniques and standards or face some kind of search or display penalty, even if …

Looks Like I Was Right About The Design Of The PlayStation 5 As Well
Yesterday Sony finally showed off the design of the PlayStation 5 and all I could think upon seeing it was that it looks nothing like the developer systems which everyone seemed to think the actual hardware would resemble. In two entries I covered this subject. In January I wrote “No, the PlayStation 5 is not …

Shit’s Crazy Out There – Better Make Some Time For Myself
Unless you’ve been living under a rock you’d have to be aware of the rather chaotic state that things are in in the United States right now – between the COVID-19 pandemic we’ve also had yet another issue of police oppression and this one seems to be the straw that broke the camels back, as …

What’s Coming For June 2020 On Xadara
It would be just like me to not get the “what’s coming” article for the next month out until we’re already 3 days in the month, but what can I say, I’ve been working on other projects the past few days and really making some headway into some things that I will, hopefully, write about …

The Return Of XadaraCast!
Yes, you’re reading that correctly – XadaraCast is back! Yes, I make that sound far more exciting than it is, because we all know the internet totally needed another podcast but damn if I haven’t for years really wanted to have one of these going and damn if each time I try things just kind …

For Fucks Sake, Wear Your Mask Correctly – Pandemic Log 5/27/2020
It’s incredible how many people can’t follow basic instructions and are unable to do something as simple as cover both their mouth and nose with a mask when out and about. I know I’m not the first to talk about this, and this article has been planned for a few weeks but I never got …

Don’t Mistake The Lack Of Posts For A Lack In Productivity
I’ve not been posting much over the past few weeks. Normally I say that this is due to me being tied up with other things or just not feeling it, but in this case it’s the opposite – I’ve actually been incredibly productive on fronts of both my day to day life and side projects, …

Boy, This Looks Familiar, Doesn’t It?
If you’ve been to this site at all in the past few months you certainly will recall the rather beautiful, yet very “heavy” theme I had switched to, known as “Pen” and will certainly notice that, for now, I’ve switched back to the older theme I had been using: Frontier. This isn’t because I don’t …

The Death Of My Gaming TV
Nothing lasts forever, especially in the realm of technology, and as much I hate to admit it even the items in my modest collection can, and sometimes will, give up the ghost and just become inert hunks of plastic, metal, and sometimes glass. That, however, will not happen without me putting up one hell of …

This one goes out to anyone and everyone who, like me, has seasonal allergies in any form and right now is being treated like some kind of ultimate evil for sneezing, coughing, or even just having a sore throat and mentioning it during the COVID-19 crisis. It’s bad enough every Spring and Summer feeling like …

The Current State Of Cinemassacre, And The Future Of My AVGN Episode Reviews
I feel like I need to address a bit of an “elephant in the room” with regards to my Angry Video Game Nerd Episode Review project. For over 3 years now I’ve taken time to, in order, review every single episode of James Rolfe’s much loved web series, and as it stands I’ve completed over …

Finally Getting My “Dream” Computer: The Mac Pro
Let’s move the Macintosh collecting time table to August of 2018. By this point I’d been deep-diving into the more recent vintage Macintosh machines for a few months and had in my possession the 3 2007 iMac systems, the first of the 2 Mac mini’s (MiniServ), the G5 which started it all and the Japanese …

Business Is Booming, Even During Chaos – Pandemic Log 5/11/2020
In a time when many people are still unable to go to work (in spite of, in the United States, most areas re-opening without much concern) I’ve been fortunate in that my job has stayed open, in so far as providing goods and services, during all this, under normal hours. In fact, on a whole, …

As States Reopen, The Worst Is Yet To Come – Pandemic Log 5/6/2020
After a little over a month of what can only be described as “moderate” lockdown here in the United States many areas have decided to go on and begin opening back up to effectively normal business and work, beyond (thankfully) precautions being taken on a store-to-store, job-to-job, person-to-person basis. One can blame any number of …
