opinios

this has been opinios

opinios is now closed.

What started as a place to express my ideas, explore my creativity in a new medium and learn a bit about web design has reached its natural ending point, and I no longer feel the drive to keep updating it. I'm now contributing semi-regularly to the SitePoint blogs with my more techy posts, so keep an eye out over there if you're into that sort of thing.

Thankyou to everyone for your comments, emails, links, submissions and general support over the past 5 years.

The archives are all there for the browsing, but the blog will no longer be updated.

I may return one day in some form or another to pontificate about politics, music and life, but for now it's over and out, scout.

highlights

Here are some of my favourite posts over the past few years:

• It's a girl!
• My account of my wedding day
• My photos of random people in Turkey
• My story of hitch-hiking from Geneva to Paris
• Portraits of Kimberley
• My recollection of bathing with the yakuza
• The story of how we caught the rat that was invading our Tokyo apartment
• An account of a puppy getting its revenge in a Tokyo pet store
• My short story about love lost in Tokyo
• My account of a trip through central Australia, published by crikey.com.au
• My list of what is hot in web design and what is not

Before opinios turned into a blog, there used to be a lot of guest submissions. And they're still online—here are a few of my favourites:

• Simon Tierney's novella, On The Means and Manner of Obtaining Stupidity
• Dave Zerk's review of attending an exclusive R.E.M. radio gig
• Jeremy Pollard's stunning photographs of New Zealand
