At this very moment it is 6:19am on a Saturday morning. A light rain passed through last night leaving my deck and patio furniture a bit wet. I know this because I’m sitting outside right now with a cup of coffee on one side of my laptop and a cigar on the other. I’ve been watching a cursor flash on a blank page for about twenty minutes now. The whole premise of being outside this early in the morning was …

Since I started WaltInPA.com as a New Year’s Resolution back in 2009, this blog has seen a few changes. In the early days it was just a place for me to place random thoughts and stories.

On Saturday I ran into a situation with my host that I wasn’t entirely comfortable with.

Way back in 2006, Jerry Cruz and I started what has become a very popular cigar blog, Stogie Review. Not long into our blog’s life, we began to experiment with Video Cigar Reviews. The experiment was a success and we ultimately opted to go with Blip.TV to host our videos. We’ve been using Blip.TV for quite a while now and it has been a great service. I was so impressed with it that when it was time to select a …
