A week ago, there were somewhere around 4 posts a day, as a side effect of E3 going on. Now, a week later, it’s been far more quiet. The reason behind it is quite simple: I’ve been taking some time for myself, trying to enjoy gaming, and just relax. E3 proved this year to be, …

10 Years Of Xadara – What’s The Point?
So, I’ve explained to the best of my ability just what the name “xadara” actually means (if anything) and the origins and story of the website itself, but one question still remains: What’s the point? Indeed, that’s the question that is probably most important, but can be answered so simply, What’s the point? Well, there …

2017
Well, here we are. It’s the year 2017. Damn… that sounds futuristic as hell doesn’t it? Of course, I’ll be saying that about every forever, so it is what it is – 1984 sounded like the future way back when, after all, so it’s all relative. In any case, another year is upon us, and …

So One Of My Articles Made It Onto Reddit. That’s Something!
I’m not going to lie – I avoid Reddit. Something about open discussion sites of that nature has just never appealed to me. I could go more in depth, but that isn’t the point here. The point is, I don’t go there. The other day, I noticed my traffic was oddly high (and at the …

[UPDATE – THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN ABANDONED. THIS IS A LEGACY POST] After a very long wait, tons of delays, and retake after retake, XadaraCast episode 1 is finally out. Sadly, it just isn’t as good as I was hoping it would be, but I still got it edited together and uploaded. The Podcast is …

Some Good Stuff is Coming
Alright, I just wanted to throw out an update post to let readers know that some good things are coming soon to the site. It’s been a busier than normal week for me, and I’ve had countless articles and projects delayed. I’ve got videos coming to the YouTube channel along with plenty of articles, more …

One of these posts again
It’s been 55 days since my last post here. I know because Facebook likes to tell me. Since I share posts from here to the Xadara facebook page, and rarely do anything else with that page, I have a nice, persistently annoying timer telling me how long it has been between posts. This is far …

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 …

5 Years of Xadara: Part 3
[Yes, I know this post is long overdue. Sorry about that: as usual life has it’s way of taking up time. That, and Terraria] So, by this time, it was coming up on 2010. Xadara was several years old, but had also grown stagnant. Very little conversation was happening on the forums, and while the …

5 Years of Xadara: Part 1
So, here we are. 5 years ago today, I sat down with a friend and registered the domain http://www.xadara.com. 5 years ago I made the decision to set up a top-level domain presence on the internet. I don’t honestly know how I came up with the name. I know I wanted something unique… something I …

Happy 5th Birthday to Xadara
Eeyup… 5 years is a long time on the internet… especially for a site that has been funded as a labor of love. I am already writing a small history of the site… one entry in which I just posted before this one, so I will leave you all with just the cake… 🙂
The Internet Blackout is Over
Yeap. The Xadara blackout in protest of SOPA and PIPA has ended, along with that of apparantly a dozen or so “major” websites, many websites with cult followings, and indeed, possibly over 1000 smaller sites, and personal web pages. It actually seemed to have a good effect, as President Obama reportedly said he would refuse …

SOPA Blackout
From 8Am to 8Pm tomorrow, January 18th, 2012, Xadara will be “on strike” as it were, in protest to the ProtectIP and SOPA laws trying to be passed through the United States governmental system. I’m not going to make some longwinded post about such, explaining what these things are, why these laws are so horrible …
