There are of course many people called Simon
Jones. Last time I check
Google listed over fifty
thousand websites that made reference to someone
called Simon Jones. Doctors, Priests, Musicians, Cricketers, Violinists,
Actors, Authors, Artists, all sharing one thing in common, the name
Simon
Jones.
So with such a common name I am wondering how it
is you've found your way to this page? Were you looking for me, or
another Simon Jones perhaps? Maybe you were looking for something
else entirely?
So now what? How far can curiosity stretch?
Simon
Jones
I decided to create a site about who
I am, however I didn't want it to
be 'run
of the mill' in any way and I think this page has been the
single most commented on
web page I have ever created! Explore this page because there is more to it than
meets the eye.
Before i Forget
My day to day blog where I write about whatever I feel like writing about really. This could span all kinds of subjects from movies to religion, politics to the environment. It's completely searchable too.
Meanwhile
Started back in 1997 when I was working at the University of Liverpool, this
is an online collection of articles written by me simply because I wanted
to write. Originally known as 'Meanwhile Back in
Reality' the name was
shorted to 'Meanwhile' when I took up writing again after a short
break.
Point and
Click America
This is a little website I created while on a train from Seattle
to Portland.
It was simply a way I could share pictures
from my trip to the USA with my friends
around the world.

photography
While I am no prize
winning photographer I have managed to sell my photographic
services and photographs over the last
couple of years. Until recently I didn't
have a site devoted exclusively to this string of the creative bow, now I do.
Posh Telly
Short movies made for the web just for fun. Some are dumb, others are a little
bit more 'artsy' but all are made with just my video camera, my Mac
and iMovie.
American Reality
Radio
In 1999 I took a hand held tape recorder to the States in order to capture some audio
sound bites from my trip as I couldn't afford a video camera at the time!
I ended up creating this site and some 'MTV' style radio
shorts
for my friends to listen to online. I would tape the shows then edit them on
my laptop ready for my friends back in the UK to listen to that evening!
Reality
Radio
Inspired by the site above I continued making 'Reality Radio' shows
for a while. A second series in America was recorded as well as other
shows covering various
events like an eclipse and a wedding in Ireland. MELT web studio
Thanks to help from my brother, the web design agency
MELT was formed back in
early 1998.
It's been paying my bills ever since despite the abundance of the 'have-a-go-hero' web designers out
there armed with nothing more than copy of Dreamweaver and an ability to
talk frugal people out of their money.
gofromhere.com and co.uk
After running surfsearcher.net for years I eventually sold that site and created this new far better search engine site called gofromhere.com. The UK specific version is really great, but the .com version is also as useful, packed with the major search engines as well as useful links to everyday net services.
Search
me!
Can't find what you're looking for? want to drill
down into the site and find something specific? Why not search
my entire simonjones.co.uk website.
