Hey,

So I wanted to do a pre-announcement of my upcoming ebook/epub. The major work has been done and now I’m going through and updating images and adding movies where I can, and the slow part looking for errors and editing text. It’s really a lot slower than it sounds so although I had hoped that the book would be done by now, it’s still got at least a week to go, but to be completely honest, it can be a slog. Maybe a better estimate is in about three weeks.

Stay tuned for the announcement though.

The book is about the first year that I traveled around the world. I started in Dubai, went to China then by train to Russian and around Eastern and Western Europe. Finally I landed in the US and then back to Dubai. The reason I did a book is because I have a lot of great images, and a lot of crappy movies of the places during the trip. Neither of them are good for making videos, so what better way than to make a book? An epub or interactive pdf will allow me the opportunity to use clips without building a movie. So I can add 640×480 clips to the book with no problem and in some ways the poor quality of the video clips almost gives it an old feel, like a 16mm project.

Right now(subject to change though):

151 pages

192 images

24 movies
