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.

Food surplus

So much for the idea that agricultural surplus "freed us" from subsistence chores to pursue specialised crafts and government! Quite likely most "officials" in early Mesopotamian states were part-time, and still engaged in food production. https://t.co/GsSJqQV5wg

Me: Okay. How do a get a referral?
PM: What's a referral?

This is a fascinating portrayal of the arguments against the implementation of the 5 day week in 1926.

Word for word, the arguments are *exactly* the same as those used against the #4DayWeek today. @NEF @jon_bartley @davidgraeber @labourlewis @natalieben pic.twitter.com/c30aLVXv08
