About This Blog

Originally known as "Adventures of a Grad Student," and temporarily titled "www.supertran.net," on 20160711 this blog became "Adventures of Me." But regardless of its name, the blog has always been dedicated to recording my experiences.

Highlights: 1) gathering info has enhanced my experiences; 2) gathering external info has extended them; and 3) the ability to make long-term comparisons, not possible by memory alone.
