I have worked on a lot of online projects in my lifetime. Most of which have been some form of failure. A few years ago however I started a few TV Blogs that actually were pretty successful. I heard about a few Fall TV announcements developed some blogs and saw what happened. Probably my more successful blogs were based on NBC shows Chuck and Journeyman. In fact at the canceling of Journeyman there was a few days that the server which was running the site literally could not keep up with the demand on the site.

If you have been visiting my blog for any length of time you probably know I love TV, Video Games, and Movies. Well today I am here to talk about my most anticipated movies of Summer 2012. So without further ado here is my list.

This has been a long time coming. Like a year or so in the making. I would be lying if I said that I had been tirelessly working on the new World of Joel over the past year because I haven't. What I have wanted to do however is freshen up the place and get back to posting. Before I go any further there are two people I should thank. First a thanks goes out to Syanne Djaenal who drew the Ned Stark (from Game of Thrones) like version of myself for my header. The other big thank you goes out to my wife Jenn who designed the header. I think she did a fantastic job and I love the new look.

One of the things I thought I would do a bit different this year was along with doing a recap of the year was looking at some of the things Jenn and I enjoyed throughout the year. So if one day we ever wonder what TV shows we liked or music we listened to in 2011 we will have this to go back to. So without further ado here is a list of our favorite “stuff” from 2011.

I remember sitting down to write my year in review in 2010 and wondering how I could possibly put into words the ups and downs of the year. There were a number of great moments but also many that if I could would never think about again. 2011 on the other hand was more about picking up the pieces of 2010 and trying to figure out how they all fit together again.

In a few months Jenn and I along with her Dad will be taking a journey across the pond to Europe and I really don't want to bring our Canon DSLR along with us. Why you ask? Well for one reason, its bulky. There were so many times when Jenn and I were in Barcelona last year that I just got tired of lugging the camera with lenses around. Sure it takes breathtaking pictures, but I barely know how to do any of the ultra photo nerd stuff that would make it worthwhile to take the big camera along. However now comes the inevitable search for a new pocket camera that is both small enough to fit in my pocket (hint the name) but that's going to take awesome shots.
