We’re in quite a unique time in history, what with the whole Coronavirus situation and how that’s affecting life for most everyone on Earth in some way. That being said, most people are trying to, in one way or another, keep things pretty normal in their lives during this, and that’s no exception here on …

For The Love Of Music
You know, I always find myself at a crossroads with what to write about. This site is, as I’ve said numerous times, about whatever I want it to be at a given moment; whatever has caught my attention and interest, or what I’m focusing on at that time. This has, of course, resulted in quite …

It’s Good To Be Back
It’s been damn near two weeks since the last entry on this site and, now that the chaos has settled, it’s time for things to get back to normal around here. To say that when I wrote the “change is inevitable” entry I didn’t expect it to be such a dramatic case of life imitating …

The Only Articles I Truly Regret Writing
If you’re any kind of creative individual you will likely relate to the fact that, inevitably, something you create will become something you wind up regretting.

You Clearly Didn’t Actually Read The Article, Did You?
Hello there. If you’re reading this, it means one of two things — you either saw this post on my site / shared somewhere on social media and decided to click it, or I intentionally shared it with you for a good reason — you replied, in some way, to a post sharing one of …

Better Late Than Never
I’ve mentioned before about the massive backlog I have of articles to write, Many of them are so far gone from being important that they just aren’t worth it. Others are, at most, a week old and are still relevant enough. The internet, however, seems to want to run on its own time — a …

What’s Coming For November 2019 On Xadara
A new month means a new update on just what I’ve got planned for the next 4 weeks or so here. Not the most interesting content, unless you’re a particular type of person who really likes this kind of “what the person is thinking” content but hell, it wouldn’t feel right starting the month without …

You’ve Got To Know When To Fold Them | The King Of The Hill Episode Review Hiatus
Sometimes, with some projects, you bite off a bit more than you can chew. Over the past month I’ve found this to be true with my my attempt to cover every episode of the animated series King of the Hill. It’s one of those things I wanted to do because the idea sounded fun, and …

Sorry I Had To Re-Post That Last Article. Blame WordPress.
Earlier today I published an article on a social media mishap which happened last week. The article went through quite a few permutations during creation, including a few name changes. I didn’t like the original title I had given the article and, after a few tweaks, had found something that fit what I was going …

We Are Starting Over (Or, How To Reboot Your Site Without Really Trying)
Sometimes, in the life of a web site, you need to start fresh. The thing is, you can’t just delete everything and truly start like new. Well, you can, but that isn’t exactly the best course of action since it would greatly hurt ranking in search engines and already existing back links to content. That’s …

Calls To The Pripyat Fire Dispatch, An Email From Ukraine, And HBO’s Chernobyl – A Strange Story
Back in April of 2018 I wrote a short article for the 32nd Anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster titled “The Chernobyl Disaster – Calls To The Pripyat Fire Dispatch.” It was a simple article where I shared a video I had found by the same title which had audio recordings of calls made to firefighting …
