Hi, I'm Arie. I recently graduated from law school and am currently living in Phnom Penh, Cambodia--as per the rules, I have a blog about it.

I also take a lot of photos. You can see the better ones on my flickr page.

A few years ago I wrote an explanation of the SCO vs Linux issue for a non-technical audience that got slashdotted. It's a little out of date now, but it's still fairly popular.

I went to Tuscany and Istanbul in October 2003. Here's my trip journal for Tuscany, here's the one for Istanbul. Also I went to Japan in 2002, here's that journal.

I used to let anyone edit this website, but it became very ugly. Now, anyone can edit the box on the side. Really, go ahead. Don't use any URLs or it will think you're a dirty spambot.
