If you know me even in the slightest bit you will know that I love Rocky. Since I can remember as a kid I would sit and watch Rocky 1-5 in marathon sessions all the time. I love the story. I love the character. I love the boxing. There is so much about these movies that just get me pumped. Thinking of the now six movies makes me want to sit down and watch them again.

I'm always looking for new gadgets or services. Anything that can make me more efficient or increase my quality of life I am ready for. Today I am going to be talking about my three favorite services that not only make my life more enjoyable but help me on a day to day basis.

I read the first book The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo in Stieg Larsson's Millennium Series almost two years ago. I really enjoyed the book but then got fully engrossed into the epic Game of Thrones series and kind of forgot about the Millennium Series. Well now that I am caught up on George R. R. Martin's epic fantasy series I went back and purchased the second book in the series The Girl Who Played With Fire.

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.
