Hi! My name is Josh, this me blog.


The dance of pleasing the social media algorithims of the world’s biggest companies, whilst being beat to death by strangers with their comments displeased me so now I’m here.

I wish I were the kind of person who could just live without broadcasting. But there’s an animal inside me — right down in the marrow — that keeps asking ‘can you see me?’ and silence has never once soothed it.


  • My new @Kobo eReader is the buggiest frikkin thing on the planet. Although the @JBHiFi sales idiot sold Britt a 2yo model :/

  • "I need you to help me find a wife for my brother" - phone call from a young Indian gent right now who I'm pretty sure was not pranking me

  • This seems like it could be my only chance to get @AustenTayshus1 to ever talk to me, so here goes. #TeamJustin @justinhamilton_

  • Any graphic designers want a quick Sunday morning job? I'm trying to design a logo but my brain is all like "get lost".

  • My Google Calendar has access to the smartest and best tech on the planet. But still feels the need to remind me of my impending birthday.

  • Probably the best part about having a cat as a pet is when you call it's name, and it just looks at you, wishing you'd go away.

  • Hey 'Murcia, can your Police stop killing black people for a few minutes so some Christmas cheer can leak into my Facebook feed.

  • Life Pro Tip: MacBook users, hover your mouse over any word and tap three fingers on the trackpad to see the definition (via Reddit)

  • It's like the NBN was made purely for Netflix and Hulu.

  • Our old wireless router is slower than the Internet connection #NBNpeopleproblems

  • You might think I'm a successful person but I still can't get the 'ohh' at the right time in the bridge of Faith No More's Easy.

  • Taxi driver trying to convince you to use him and not Uber #awkward

  • Good to see #NBN on @iiNet doesn't change this status quo. 2/2

  • Over the past 16 years I have started new tel communication connections with almost every telco and it never 'just works'. 1/2

  • Listening to @612brisbane of course

  • If I had to try and describe exactly what I do all day, it would be "make the little red circle push notifications go away".

  • We've moved house that much this year that our removalist has my number stored in his phone and answers "Hi Josh" #VIPclient

  • So there's at least a bazillion NBN plans - anyone got a suggestion for a pure internet, 100mbps, big data plan?

  • The web dev guys behind the PayPal for business website are most certainly on crack.

  • Tim on the suggestion from Paula that he remember and recite his own vows "No way, I'm not Nelson Mandela!" #MrAndMrsCorbett

  • It'd be great to see them all come into being.

  • It's the little things hey.

  • I don't even care how good your weekend is, I just saw a non-indicating temporary citizen get snapped by a radar going at least 140km/he.

  • Simply accept the new light saber you will.

  • It's so exciting that we're probably only months away from a photo of PM @JulieBishopMP and Pres. @HillaryClinton having a girls weekend.
