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.
[...] like Tibet for Jack, and the pyramids in Egypt for me (although after reading this post, I’m not so sure anymore). These places have priority in the itinerary because they’re [...]
Dang, all of you guys are making me really anxious about this place. I’ve wanted to see the pyramids for as long as I can remember…:( Any tips at all about how to handle the touts?

Jaime – indeed, I think everyone needs to experience a place for themselves. If we listened to everyone else’s opinion of a place we would either go nowhere or everywhere. Go. See. But don’t say we didn’t warn you…
Awww this was very disappointing to read…lol! Cairo is one of the cities I can not wait to see. I have been dreaming of visiting it since I was a lil kid. Ive always known to expect it was going to be dirty and I have honestly heard all the negative things about it. I think for some reason that intrigues me even more!!!

Wow, it seems like you really hated Egypt. We are planning on flying from Istanbul to Cairo, tour Egypt, and then travel overland to Petra and Amman.
Except for the kissing episode in the restaurant, it wasn’t all that bad, right?

Totally get where you guys are coming from. Though we loved our morning at the Pyramids, we couldn’t leave Cairo quick enough. The touts are unbelieveable, unfortunately making the fantastic relics a means to an end for many.
I almost got pickpocketed by a kid, and Nicole caught it on camera!
