Blogging is a somewhat dead medium. It used to be the most popular form of expression on the internet – today, YouTube has pretty much supplanted it, and the “vlog” (video-log) format has supplanted what information blogs once provided. Sure, a video can be more enjoyable than text, in some cases, but there is a […]
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 […]
Heads up, this article doesn’t have anywhere much to go, it’s just more of a random thought put into text, rather than anything with too much of a point. Anyway, for the month of February I managed to crank out 35 articles – that’s right, for the shortest month of the year I pushed out […]
2016 was a hell of a year. It had its good points, its bad points, and all in all, it was pretty much just like any other given year. The biggest element was about halfway through the year a focus change in my efforts from YouTube to this site proper. This was a change that […]
Sunday afternoon, while killing some time at a local mall, I wrote up a post on Pokemon Go. It wasn’t anything special, but it was a post nonetheless about something amazingly popular at the moment. I had some thoughts to share, and well, felt like sharing them – a mostly positive post from the point […]
I did a little test today, to see what would happen if I uploaded a short, text and audio only video to promote to the YouTube audience that I had written the article yesterday about the NES Classic. It’s a 26 second video clip that gives a very basic summary, and mentions if you want […]
So, over the past few months I’ve been writing more. Much much more than I have in months, indeed, in years past. I’ve expressed before that I am switching over from making YouTube videos to writing more. I still crank out the occasional video, but at this stage, it’s so much easier to write than […]
As touched on in my last article, one of the major elements of this YouTube burnout is the sheer time it takes to create a video. While an article could take all of 15 minutes to write, a video with the same content might take upwards of 2 to 3 hours to make, under less […]
I’ve written for this website for several years now. I’ve run this website, in various forms, for over a decade. As it stands, Xadara.com is primarily just a blog with a focus on gaming, general technology, and social media commentary. That’s fine, that’s the kind of stuff I like, but I find myself only writing […]
Every single day, we do a countless multitude of things. Some tiny, little tasks we forget about moments after completing them, while others can be life changing events. The question we all wonder at one point or another is, why do we do this? Honestly, think for a moment why you do most tasks. The […]
