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.

  • Trying my hand at Reddit advertising. Watch out /r/perth tomorrow!

  • I just can't believe that King Missile haven't had more hits.

  • Mind you, they're all on their iPhones and Facebook whilst talking about it.

  • Sitting at a cafe listening to the table next to me recite stories from Sea FM this morning ... maybe radio's not as dead as they say it is.

  • At some point in the last decade our society decided talking or magical cars weren't cool anymore. What happened to us?

  • Does everyone else mystery shop their competitors?

  • Idea for a band name: Tony Abbott and the Beacons of Humanity.

  • Breaking News: Just spent 5min wondering if it's easier or better to just sleep in the car or go inside the house. Story is still developing

  • Idea: A Transformer that transforms into an actually good movie about Transformers.
