And like that... he is gone
So that's it. RIP Three Years of Hell, June 2, 2003 to August 25, 2006. After all these words, there are only a few things left to say.
Two sites, the Imbroglio and the Volokh Conspiracy, have given me a slightly premature sendoff, and their words are very kind. (The site has received its final Kerr Package.) In answer to Ambimb's question as to why the site is closing, the answer is simply that the project is done. I don't know what my next big task will be. I've got two articles in process (much more difficult now I don't have free Lexis access). There's a few chapters written of a novel, a thought made more exciting by three friends who have already written books. The more I look at law and technology, the more I think that an open-source, XML-based framework for writing judicial opinions would bring caselaw closer to the public (as well as weaken the WEXIS duopoly). Perhaps that's a project worth looking into. Whatever the case, I'm sure I'll have no problem coming up with other tasks to occupy my (soon to dwindle rapidly) free time. This story was always meant to have an ending, and after all these months, it is finally here.
Thank you to the professors and students at Columbia Law School who made this journey such a rich experience. The same goes to the bloggers across the 'sphere who've linked, commented and otherwise spread the word. (A special note should go to Martin, who started me on this path.) My family, although asked not to comment on the blog itself, never failed to give me encouragement (and fodder for quite a few posts) throughout my years here.
And finally, of course, thank you to all of you who've read this site over the last three years and a bit. Journeys are made better with travelling companions, and I couldn't have asked for a finer bunch.
Best regards,
A.R.
Fiji is awesome, I stayed at Robinson Cursoe island for most of our stay, but the best part of the trip was watching a local Rugby game. They’re so passionate about the sport!!

Thanks for sharing the real adventure of Fiji, and I have heard so much about Fiji island.
One of my favorite golfers all time, Vijay Singh used to live in Fiji for a while:)
I have listed Fiji as one of my must visit destination on agendas..

Sounds like a great place to go! And it’s nice that they have thought about preserving the beauty of the island and stop exploitation.
Yes, definitely add Fiji to your upcoming travel plans! Think more budget options are on the up and up.
Nice to know that you can do Fiji on the “semi” cheap. Would love to go there one day!
Doug,
We’re certainly not missing the Chicago cold. After a month in NZ, we’re headed to Australia today, then on to India. Good things ahead.
We are getting visas on the road, which is a pain but gives us a bit of flexibility.
Thanks for following us on our adventures. More to come soon!
Ryan
Hi Ryan,Hi Laura — sounds like you guys are having a great time! I love the website. Did you get all your visas before you left? Or are you getting them on the road?
Weather here blows — I’m jealous.
Have fun!!
Doug
Good to see that you’re having fun. All the best from Chicago.
Have fun. Be safe. Much love
I am so glad that you guys went out to the islands. We stated at matamanoa. Right where you guys were. I agree with laura. That islands are amazing, but the water is unbelievable.
