Why do I blog?

So, the inimitable Funky Brown Chick has asked me “why do I blog?” This is a multi-answer question for me. The most obvious answer is in the “Why am I doing this” section of this blog. I describe the blog as therapy - if I vent my anger here I theorised I would be [...]

Help me promote the Melbourne YouTube gathering

So I mentioned previously that I’d been to the YouTube party in Sydney and had a great time.  Now I’m in full swing organising the gathering for YouTube users in Melbourne (known colloquially as AusOne) which will be in Federation Square on December 1st.
One thing I don’t think I mentioned about the Sydney gathering was [...]

A Halloween Message

OK, I got a question.  How fucking stupid are people?  Because I had to deal with some real idiots today.
To give a bit of background: Halloween isn’t a big thing in Australia.  If you went around trick or treating people would think you’re a freak (which, come to think of it, would be kind of [...]

I am the new god of YouTube

Well, maybe not. But at least the featured one of my videos on the new YouTube Australia page. And my scary visage has been prominently featured on the global YouTube page for a couple of days now.
A little while ago, myself and a few other Australian YouTubers were asked to do a promotional [...]

Australian Federal Election - Arrogance and Lies

Consider this my application for a job with the Australian Labor Party. I love doing something this partisan because someone always blows a blood vessel because they can’t tolerate the idea that you’d take a position that contradicts theirs. It’ll be fun to see a few people humiliate themselves with idiotic comments.
For those who [...]

Packing for Sydney

Here’s a video I made of me getting ready for my trip to the YouTube party in Sydney:

I’m in Sydney now.  It’s just as well I packed ahead of time because I forgot to set an alarm, slept in and missed my flight.  I only missed it by a minute and was able to get [...]

Call the Angry Phone - 61 403 069 148

I’m a very lazy man.  And yet I got suckered into 4 hours of yard work today.  As a result I’m suffering physical exhaustion and pain the likes if which is quite alien to me.
So here’s a video I did before I got totally knackered from hacking through six months of weed growth.

And that really [...]

Best fucking quotes - the annotated version

In my original draft of yesterday’s post, I included an explanation for most of the quotes I chose. I decided to run them unadorned because I thought maybe people might want to copy the quotes into emails and I thought I’d make that easy. So today I bring you the annotated version along [...]

Hating Haters

Did I mention I was in a mood?  One of my subscribers on YouTube egged me on by asking me to make a video speaking out against haters.  I don’t need much prodding to attack this target.  I’ve gotten so used to haters that I don’t think about them much any more.  It’s almost a [...]
