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.

Pecha Kucha Cambodia Gets QuickDrawin’

Below: getting ready to speak at Phnom Penh’s March monthly Pecha Kucha night, locally called ‘Nerd Night‘. 🙂

Pecha Kucha Phnom Penh

Host Yi Wei (and the intrepid team) spared no effort in dressing the part. I did a little talk on how to ‘QuickDraw’, and how the new daily digital QuickDraw came to be.

‘Pecha Kucha‘ means literally ‘chit chat’ in Japanese, and is now a global phenomenon with chapters all around the globe. Requiring speakers to narrate 20 slides in 20 seconds really cuts the wheat from the chaff.

Below: links for video of the talk, slides and comics from the evening.
