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.

A year on year decrease in traffic might lead one to say that the media is incentivised to encourage Trump-like politics.

Yes

Forgive me for thinking that the Victorian government doesn’t know what is going on.
I just transited through Melbourne Airport from Tugun (Gold Coast) to Hobart.
Applying for a transit permit: fine. Getting the travel permit: you’ve been in an orange or red zone (no I haven’t) Arriving in Victoria: “let me check with my supervisor, I think we need to escort you” An hour after arriving in Hobart: You need to quarantine.
Get it together guys.

“By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?”
I hope people will recognise us by our children. That knowledge of their kindness, joy, and peace would go before them.

Widgets on iPadOS 15 are glorious. A year late, but glorious.

Apple Photos thinks Britt and I had couple photos taken in Tenerife to commemorate a day Australia celebrates killing horses because we gamble on them. Algorithms are fun.

Off to court today for the third couple who had booked us for an international ceremony wedding but would now prefer a refund over a reschedule.
This pandemic is a daily nightmare for us, but hey, we’re all this together, we can do it Queensland, so things will be ok eventually.
The fun thing is trying to convince future couples that our expenses have gone up so our prices have gone up.
Fuck covid.

I just want you all to know that I did intermittent fasting four days this week and I'm still not skinny, so it clearly doesn't work.

The six causes of burnout are:
- Lack of control.
- Lack of reward.
- Absence of fairness.
- Lack of community.
- Conflict in values.
- Work overload.
I’m burned out reading that list of things that feel like I’m reading my gravestone.

FaceTime - 6.0/iOS15/Monterey - links to join a chat are easy and beautiful, and much more elegant than a Zoom link if it's just a simple chat. I can see them taking the place of many a meeting.

Screenshot from iPadOS 15 Photos.
Somehow Photos has figured out from location and date metadata these photos are from a ticketed event, a Foo Fighters concert. But the hero image is of Weezer opening the show, and if you tap through to the slideshow the music is Fleetwood Mac.

After the pandemic I’d like to start a comedy band called Pearlmite where we sing Australian parodies of Pearl Jam songs.
Our first song: Elderly Man Behind The Wheel Of A Landcruiser In The Right Hand Lane.

Every day, since whenever the feature launched, my iPhone has generated a set of Featured Photos from my 27,000 odd photos in the library. Since June 22 it’s stopped.
What have I done to deserve this?!

It's nice how things are precedented now. Remember back in 2020 when it was this whirlwind of unprecedented stuff, nowadays we hear that a state premier is warming up a new announcement and we put our cloth masks back in the washing machine ready to don again.

Good news, Australia has twice as many cults as Arizona!

Who knew you could report junk spam to Apple. Where does that data go, and how does it play out?
I would literally give Apple more money to stop spam texts and spam phone calls.

If Google was serious about organising the world's information, the Lano and Woodley episode "Mother" would be on Youtube, but here I am describing the skit to a friend instead of sharing a link.

Nostalgia – its delicate, but potent. Teddy told me that in Greek nostalgia literally means ‘the pain from an old wound.’
A Mackay sugarcane fire is my ‘pain from an old wound’.

Honestly, is there anything more Australian than dropping in to see family while you’re on a work trip and claiming it as a travel expense?

So apparently the tax department website has a queue now. Does the ATO know websites don’t have queues?
