This is the personal blog of Walt White. I am a Drafter/Designer living in Berks County, PA. I've got a fondness for Cigars, Photography, and Firearms. Take a look around and you may find something interesting regardless of how different your hobbies may be from my own.

This movie starred Tom Cruise and focused on him fighting a demon to save the word from darkness. Since then I’ve always been drawn to [...]

A few years ago I was heavily into Battlefield 1942, a first person shooter for the PC. As I played more and became much more competitive, I joined the High Plains Strike Force gaming clan. The clan had a forum for everyone to make use of. In the general section I came across a link [...]
A couple of years ago I decided that I wanted to go back to school and get some sort of degree. After some serious consideration, I started taking night classes to get a degree in Architectural Drafting and Design. Four days per week I arrived for class at 5:00 PM and made my way home [...]
Back in July I was fortunate enough to go a large cigar convention for retail tobacconists, the IPCPR. All of the Stogie Review Staff flew out to Las Vegas to cover the event as members of the Press. With few cigar bloggers at the event, we were in a very good position to be one [...]
