Hi! My name is Josh and this is my blog. I used to share on social media but decided that my fragility was too valuable to subject to algorithims and assholes.

  • This little photo I made two years ago in Burleigh has gone gangbusters on Unsplash! Over 10,000 downlaods, and over 1 million views!

    Created with a DJI Mavic Pro (the OG)

  • Which country do you think this photo was made in?

  • “How many fingers am I holding up?” Before every ceremony I conduct a quick and easy eyesight with your guests. It’s all part of the #marriedbyjosh service.

  • Troy: "That's one of my biggest fears." Abed: "What is?" Troy: "If I ever, like, wake up as a donut..." Abed: "You would eat yourself? Troy: "I wouldn't even question it."

    I miss Troy and Abed, in the moornning.

  • Luna’s upgraded to a big girl bed.

    Please don’t tell her that a big girl bed is just a cot with a side taken off. She thinks we bought her a new bed.

  • How did salt and pepper take pride of place on our tables from all the seasonings available? Another cruel blow from Big Condiment.

  • I can confidently tell you that the Apple Leather MagSafe Wallet fits three cards easily, no more, not even three cards and a $20 note folded up.

  • Apple's underdogs series is marketing at its best.

    April 2019: Apple releases "Apple at Work — The Underdogs"

    July 2020: Apple release "The whole working-from-home thing — Apple"

    Working on story telling at this height would honestly be so cool!

  • In other audlting news today, Britt and I just fist-pumped on a baby name subject to certain condtions.

  • Luna and Dad’s first shakedown

  • So, who ever knew that Australian states were kind of a "thing". It's like in 2020 we all had a lesson in realising that the "Commonwealth of Australia" is pretty much just a passport issuing and tax collecting authority

  • 🌈 Rainbow, where the bow is actually full of rain.

    One of these is an iPhone 12 Pro shot, ones a Canon 5D shot.

  • Netflix staffer: so, it’s like Netflix, but you don’t get to choose what you watch, it just shows up automatically.

    Netflix execs: wow

    Rest of humanity: are you just describing TV?

  • "Social media encourages the myth that who we are is defined by the opinions we type. But the older I get, the less interested I am in how well people can script their beliefs in front of a computer and the more interested I am in how tenaciously they go about grinding out their moral existence. I’m impressed when someone can get up every single day, determined to be a better human being than he or she was yesterday. Typing out what we “stand for” is easy. But loving well isn’t. I am not down on typing out our opinions—clearly. I’m only down on thinking that typing in and of itself constitutes an ethical life. May we stop thinking that becoming the kind of person we want to be is as easy as typing “me too” at those we agree with and “stupid people” at those we don’t. That’s a distraction from the real work of being human. And I’m ready to work."

  • As a wedding celebrant, this is my 2020 email template:

    No other coasts will be “The Coast”.

  • Nothing reminds you how much of a gross and disgusting person you are more than your AirPods case.

  • US news today via #thesizzle & I thought it was interesting to read that the use of a risk algorithim to determine bail was rejected. This issue was covered in Malcolm Gladwell’s book, Talking To Strangers, and overwhelmingly the algorithim made better decisions than people.
