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.

I keep on finding this weird smudge on the top of some of my photos when I get them back from the film lab. Anyone know what’s causing it?

If you’ve ever been disappointed, know that you’ve not been truly disappointed unless you have prepared food for a toddler to not eat despite telling you that they wanted that exact thing you just made, and you made it really well, am I raising a psychopath?!

For all intensive purposes words don't matter, right?

I, for one, welcome our new unable to understand actual consent so we’re using a sexual consent app overlords.

Just say, hypothetically, that you were married to a heavy rug user, what are some things you can encourage your partner to do to stop buying rugs and eventually kick that rug addiction?
Asking for a friend.

In the first two months of both our girls lives we've moved house. Oddly enough, into the same house both times. Tomorrow we're out of the Palmy Crew and back into the Tugun Flight Path!

Police are now targeting a part of the people who misuse the word apart.

Did one person a million years ago cross their fingers and magically their situation changed for the better, or are we all just crossing fingers for feels?

"Many of us don’t have enough stories of being taken advantage of or of having something stolen because we don’t take enough risks. Any time we love someone, we risk being hurt. But it’s worth the risk."

Remember when internet things were called cyber?
Crypto is the new cyber.
Whenever someone says crypto it means we don’t fully understand it yet.
Someday in a few years we’ll call it by a different name and that’s how you’ll know it’s matured.

Shiver me timbers.
The latest Adobe Photoshop release which is Apple Silicon native just loaded in 4.13 seconds on my MacBook Air, and I’ve got heaps of other apps open etc.
I can’t wait to see what they do with Lightroom Classic, I might have to go back from Darkroom.

I remember reading about wireless networking technology in computer magazines in the 90s.
When they said wireless I didn’t think they’d mean on a 7mm thick glass & metal slab, 160g handheld touchscreen computer, travelling at 800km/h, 11km in the air.

Sitting next to a couple at the airport lounge who have just completed a whole photo shoot, different angles, poses, trying the different camera lenses on the phones, to capture the beauty of their free Qantas continental breakfast.

Years ago, when I was a younger man, you’d get your car serviced and they’d put air in your tyres for free, but I guess that’s how inflation works.

Life’s never going to be the same once you realise what the Barenaked Ladies song “One Week” is really about.

After our year of “travelling” we’ve got our keys back. We’re going home!

Hey world, why are we giving kids middle names if every time - as a marriage celebrant - I ask one of my couples for the full name of someone, they don't think the middle name is part of the full name?
-
You might be surprised to find out that Harry & Meghan are not the first people to get married before they got married.
I’ve married so many people who have wanted to take back their getting married moment from their family, then gone along with the family wedding weeks/months later just to keep everyone happy.
Kind of sad that family would impose so heavily, in my humble opinion.

I for one am shocked to find out that the Colonialist White British Empire’s Royal Family is racist.

If you complain that you phone is listening to you, but use Google Chrome as your web browser, you're a hypocrite - quite possibly innocently - but Google Chrome is becoming the least private web browser, despite already being terrible.

I just picked Luna up from her trying to play with some rude kids who didn’t want to play with her, so in front of the kids and their yucky mother told her that “we don’t have to play with yucky kids.”
Parenting has really brought out my inner bitch.

What’s with midwives not going all the way and becoming full wives? Asking for a friend.

Luna, we’re taking a photo for mummy, just hold on for a second

I’m at the markets talking to a friend and Luna walks off, treks across the whole market, to go to the stall she knows has watermelon. She gets a basket, puts a watermelon in it, and a carrot, and goes to the cashier.
I think she’s ready to leave home.

I love how Mentos stubbornly believes that people at service stations know what “Chewy Dragees” are.

I would like to make a public statement regarding the most recent episode, number 175, of the Wedding Photo Hangover podcast.
If you listen to that podcast you may hear me say stupid and offensive things. Alas, that was not me. My voice was hacked. I was just dropping the kids off in the podcast. Jenny and I spoke last night and she said to me, you have to think about this as a Prime Minister, just say you were hacked.
This is a link to the episode I was in no way on - please do not listen.
