Last year I was invited by the lovely Gareth de Walters to speak at Auckland Content Strategy Meetup Group, or “Acksumgah”. After throwing out my first thought – using Tarot cards to inspire digital content – I opted for a more accessible topic: storytelling. And since Cate has kindly sent traffic here from her site, [...]

If you think I’m going to be wasting time blogging from here, you’re out of your crazy mind. Love, Ryan.

Reluctantly we left Prague. Still one of my favourite places. We stayed an extra night, giving up our night-train plan for a flight straight to Amsterdam the next day.

Again, sorry about the delay. Again, caused in part by Diana’s obsession with playing Civilisation on the iPad. She assures me that this has now ended, as she has attained a high score on the highest difficulty setting. Brasov, Transylvania, Romania, was a welcome break from firing from one place to another.

So don’t worry. We’re safe, Mum. In Bosnia tonight, off to Serbia tomorrow.

Up to Speed

Okay, due to various factors (including Diana’s new favourite iPad game), I’ve fallen behind on these posts, so I’ll bring you up to speed quickly. Venice Venice was cool. We met some nice people who actually got married in Venice on the sly and had a big night hanging out with them, which began for [...]
