Hello! I’m John Weeks, developing innovative fundraising and communication strategies in Southeast Asia.

I particularly relish the challenge of growing nonprofit infrastructure. I’ve founded Our Books, Our Books Illustration and Design, House32 Web Design, and assisted in getting Open Development Cambodia and the ICT4 Cambodia Development Network off the ground.

I serve on the boards of Open Development Cambodia, Our Books, Nou Hach Literary Journal, and arts ‘think tank’ Sang Salapak.

I frequently teach at varied tech events, and enjoy sharing my interests via blogging, cartooning and varied writing. My opinions on art, culture, and technology are cited in publications ranging from Time and USA Today to Punk Planet.

Please feel free to get in touch.

Crowdsourced Query: Downloading Video

Due to slow internet speeds in Southeast Asia, I often download videos prior to watching them.
There’s a lot of cool stuff out there.

I’ve previously used plugins like  https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1-click-youtube-video-download/
And it’s good to have a reliable online web site that can be used if you hopping from machine to machine, i.e.  http://keepvid.com
Some new recommendations I’m testing out:
Plug-Ins
 http://www.downthemall.net Plugin for Firefox (Thx AC!)
http://www.chromeextensions.org/utilities/chrome-youtube-downloader/ (Thx BS!)
Programs
 http://tubemate.net/ (Thx IR!)
Web Sites
http://en.savefrom.net/
(Accessible if you type ‘saveyoutube.com / ‘video sub-url’ or ‘ssyoutube.com/ ‘video sub-url’) (Thx NTT!)
http://keepvid.com
http://www.mydownloadvideo.com/
Any further tips? I’m all ears.
