Looking Back and Looking Ahead
2015 has been an interesting year for the blog. At times, it’s been a slog to keep up with daily posts (as evidenced by the lack of one yesterday) but for the most part I’m still having fun with the project. While things started out four and a half years ago as coverage of mostly GI Joe figures, I’ve branched out into other areas of the brand, and that’s where I’m really finding my joy.
There were some things I didn’t get accomplished in 2015, like videos, a yearly podcast and attending Assembly Required, but alas life takes priority over such things. I don’t know what exactly the next year will hold, but I’ll be sure to continue to give it a go each day and keep things fun.
Thanks to my family for being the biggest supporters of JAD. Finally, I’d like to take the opportunity again to thank all of you who follow, read and comment here. It is my hope that your year is filled with much joy and prosperity. Happy New Year and God Bless,
Rob
Thanks, Rob
Thanks to you Rob and a happy New Year to you and your family.
Yes, these posts are fun little nuggets to brighten my inbox – thanks for taking the effort to make them 🙂
Many thanks Rob and wishing you a great 2016!
thanks bud…keep up the good work!
Happy New Year! The blog has been a lot of fun this year, with various features like guest spots, diorama photos & catalogs. Any way you slice it, Joe-A-Day is always great to check out!
Keep up the great work , Rob. You’re dedication is inspiring. Happy new year.

Grazie, amico!
Thanks Rob for keeping this going. I look forward to these posts each day. Happy New Year!
I know it can be a grind at times, so it’s good to feed whatever angle has your attention at that time. I’ve really enjoyed all of the catalog and art stuff (obviously) that you’ve been sharing this year. Keep it up man, you add a ray of daily Joe sunshine in a lot of folks lives!
Producing original fan content for a long period of time shows true dedication to the subject. I find it incredibly hard to maintain a weekly pace, and that’s with long hiatuses in between. Once you cover the really fun stuff, it can be tough to find inspiration to discuss something you really only own because it came with something else.
Finding this blog was a big part of what roped me back into Joe collecting a few years ago. It showed there was still fun stuff going on despite all the nonsense. I’m grateful for my daily visits to check posts, etc. So, if it’s less frequent, keep up the excellent work.
