This is the personal blog of Walt White. I am a Drafter/Designer living in Berks County, PA. I have 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.
Some time ago I posted about falling into routines. In that one particular post I talked about how I always seemed to be watching the same re-runs on television before getting dinner started. Similar routines exist elsewhere in my life as well, especially when it comes to the internet. Each day I get to work [...]
Not long ago I was at work and found myself with a little time to kill. I was between projects and didn’t have anything to get started on before getting the answer that was holding me up. While I waited for that answer, I thought I would poke around on the web. I wound up [...]
Over the last couple months, I have been doing pretty well in providing some sort of book related posts once per week. Most often those posts were some sort of book review accompanied by a video of sorts. This week I was unable to continue my reading pace and do not have a review for [...]
It has been a good long time since I’ve done any real ranting. I don’t air dirty laundry on the internet, but I’m finding myself highly annoyed as of late from a few things I have been seeing. These things aren’t anything major, but they do tend to tug at my nerves. I won’t be [...]
Just the other week, my wife and I were talking about things we saw for sale in the Sunday paper. I mentioned kind of liking the idea of having a Slingbox and my wife was eying up a bedding sale at Boscov’s. Like usual, my interest was passing and I didn’t give the Slingbox a [...]

A couple of months back, I posted a writeup on the Last.fm service. Since that time, I have gradually moved away from that service and found another that was more to my liking. That service is Slacker Radio and it was first introduced to me by Guy via Twitter. The most important feature about a [...]

Every fall my yard becomes a complete mess. It in part has to do with me retreating inside due to the attack of the walnut tree. Because I spend less time outside, I spend less time fretting over how bad my yard looks. In addition to the walnuts that litter my yard from two Walnut [...]
One of the funnest things my wife and I do together is poke fun at one another. Sometimes what is said between us is childish and other times it stings a bit. Regardless of what is said, it is generally followed by a laugh. One of the things my wife likes to tease me about [...]

As my New Years resolution in 2009, I stopped procrastinating and started a personal blog. It was something I wanted to do for some time and coming up with a New Years resolution was just the motivation I needed to get my butt into gear. Because this site is of a personal nature, I didn’t [...]
Last night was Halloween night. As the sun went down, my wife and I made sure to have some candy near the door just in case a child strayed over to our home. Because of the way our house is situated on the block, often times kids opt not to trudge up my walkway for [...]
