blog rename

An old friend of my father's came by for a visit. His comment to my life so far - studies, sojourns abroad, plans and proposals: "an academic adventurer."

I've realized something.
Talking about the things I'm doing as manyfold - as "me, myself, and I" (the old title of my blog) - fits with the outside view. The view of those same kinds of people who were amazed when I started studying and was an adventurous student - dedicated, but to the connection between some fields rather than to single-field specialization. And who now see my success with that, but either choose to complain that I did not yet finish more, or denigrate it by arguing that a person would only follow so many interests if he did not really know what he wanted.
The one is nothing I can change right now; the latter, simply wrong.

I know what I want, and I am following that with all dedication.
If detours such as into school teaching are necessary, then so be it. (I'll still be a more interesting and interested teacher than those who only want it as an easy job.)
It may look as if I were interested in too many unrelated things, but they all come from the same source and feed the same purpose: understanding the human condition as a part of this world, and influencing our move towards sustainability.

In honor of an awareness of this, to fit my own view, and in honor of Eddie, my dad's long-time friend, former colleague, and an adventurous person himself, I've decided to rename my blog.
