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 […]
You know the drill – new month, new games to look at with the Xbox Games with Gold program. The Xadara tradition continues with what looks like a pretty okay month. Let’s get going. On the Xbox One we have Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse and Coffee Talk. Okay, another Shantae game. Cool, I still […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
In the last article we took a look at the first of my 2 Mac mini purchases, “MiniServ” which acts as my home Macintosh file server. To say that, following some natural upgrades, I’m pleased with that system would be an incredible understatement – for as basic as it is, just sitting there running Snow […]
In the late Summer of 2018 I was really getting into a big kick of collecting and using old Macintosh systems. It wasn’t long after getting the MacBook mentioned in a previous article (and thus becoming “current” in the Macintosh ecosystem) that I had an idea to get a Mac mini system and use it […]
Well, backlog week was kind of a wash – in those 5 days I only actually touched on one singular entry which was part of the backlog — the Japanese MacBook post. I wound up working more than usual last week (this week looks to be following the same pattern) and didn’t have time to […]
I can’t believe I’m having to write this one, but I wouldn’t feel comfortable ending this week without at least addressing this one. Earlier this week the Pentagon released footage of “UFO’s” they had procured over the past, oh, 20 years or so, from what I’ve seen online anyway, and naturally the internet was awash […]
