I seriously wish I was joking about this one. I really do. Yes, this is a serious article, and one that has been delayed by something like 3 weeks now, mostly thanks to the MLGW Hoax earlier in the month; I never did write about this while it was fresh, and by the time I […]

A Blogging Backlog
Anyone who attempt at least some kind of regular content creation has certainly run into the issue of simply having too much to publish, and running into a backlog. Hell, I’ve had to just abandon some planned posts thanks to them running so far behind that I just never bothered to actually write and publish […]
Twitter Reacts To The MLGW Zach Randolph Hoax
I discussed earlier today the absolute stupidity of an event that happened here in Memphis where people actually thought that Grizzlies player Zach Randolph was paying off people’s MLGW utility bills if they paid on the convenience store kiosk’s today , something that you would think no one would treat seriously, but, in typical Memphis […]

Skipping The Convention
So, right now, an event I used to go to every year, Anime Blues Con, is happening here in Memphis. It’s, as the name suggests, and anime convention, and it’s been in previous years something I’ve looked forward to since learning about it in early 2011 – I would first attend the convention in 2012 […]

An Update On XadaraCast
So, you may recall that Podcast I was working on late last year, titled XadaraCast (yeah, not the most original name, sure). Well, as it stands, I’ve taken down the only 3 episodes that were produced and am putting the project on Hiatus, for now, for a general reboot. The reasons are varied, but it […]

A Weekend Away From Things
I took the opportunity this weekend, though not by original intent, to work on other things, away from Xadara: namely the day jobs, and just going out and enjoying some things. I’m well beyond behind on articles, and video making, but that’s fine; the previous few articles have trended quite well, for what they are, […]
The Classic Utility Bill Scam Is Back In Memphis
One particular type of scam that’s rather common are ones involving your utilities, mainly electricity, where they claim you owe a large amount on the bill and you have to pay now. Thing is, you can’t pay with your bank card, they only take cash at an undisclosed location or, to make things simpler, you […]
The Commercial Appeal To No Longer Be Printed In Memphis
Memphis’s primary local newspaper, the Commercial Appeal, will no longer be printed here in Memphis, Tennessee, starting with the April 18th edition. This marks the first time since the Civil War that the paper hasn’t been printed in its home city. This means the end of jobs for 19 people who work at the production […]
HHGregg Is Closing All 220 Stores – This Doesn’t Surprise Me
Home technology store chain HHGregg is closing all of its 220 stores after failing to find a buyer for the now-struggling company. It’s the usual case of a business going into the red financially and filing chapter 11 bankruptcy to try to liquidate all its assets, pay its debts, and maybe restructure and get back […]
10 Years Of Xadara – A Condensed History
That’s right, this little hole in the wall website has been around for a whole decade! Call out from work, school, or whatever you have going on and get ready to party! No, actually, don’t do that. Be a responsible person and continue your normal life. Seriously though, it has indeed been 10 years to […]
