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.


  • The last conversation you'll ever need to have about eating right - bookmarking this one.

  • "Keto gives people the impression they’ve lost fat" - @juliaoftoronto in Vox

  • "80 per cent of homes are selling at a loss"The mining boom's biggest legacy seemingly will be the mortgages worth more than the houses.

  • “Where’s the line on hate speech? I mean, who chose me to be the person that did that?” - Mark Zuckerberg realising the responsibilities of popularity

  • "Facebook will never stop collecting and exploiting that data. It is all they have." - John Birmingham's Alien Side Boob, 23/3/18

  • "Business wise, a brand would benefit more from working with a thought leader, who has 5000 real and engaged followers, who could become real and paying 5000 customers, than a buzzword thrower with 20k-50k followers (or more) who are only following thanks to herd behavior and who are not likely to pay for a product or a service. Real thought leaders care and make a point to be knowledgeable about the topics they cover."

    It’s time to address the elephant in the room: Influencers don’t really influence anything or anyone!

  • This 'welcome to the Gold Coast street lights sign/artwork' is no better when you're looking at it straight on and in the air ... I hate to jump on bandwagons, but this is a pretty supreme waste of public funds. I love the Gold Coast, I'm 100% behind #GC2018, but this sign is silly on so many fronts.

  • “Up until the early 2000s, the only people that lived here full time was me and my family and the people in the Big Brother House. That and a few retirees.”

    Did You Know? There’s Actually A Community Of People Who Live On The Gold Coast Full-Time

  • Sydney
  • Honest Wes Anderson trailer Youtube link

  • Sydney is now more expensive to live in than New York and LA. (It's actually cheaper for me to fly there every week than live there)

  • Hey @rodemics here's my dream product: Rodelink Newsshooter BUT the receiver is a USB interface for a phone/laptop or the best: @mevocamera

  • What could I say to help guests know that their phones and cameras are not for the ceremony? It's hard convincing everyone to go unplugged!

  • I'm telling you this because I don't want to let my love of song to tear us apart.

  • Almost every marriage ceremony I've performed has an obscure song lyric in it.

  • Fun fact: for over eight years I've been marrying people and dropping song lyric Easter eggs into their ceremonies.

  • Pro Marriage Tip: Give your spouse your undivided attention soon. Quality time is quality.

  • What songs have you asked your DJ not to play?
