Grant Zhang: Snapshot of life

Congratulations, Nikko. Great upgrade!

I am often asked to translate the names of Chinese dishes or their ingredients to English when dining with foreigner friends. Sometimes I did fine, but many times I just failed the task: not able to find the English name for the Chinese food. I just came across this website which seems to be designed for rescuing me:

Its name speaks for itself.

I've been thinking a lot about what should I blog in my first Sun blog entry, ever since I get this blog account two weeks ago. Some topics came across my mind: Solaris scsi io stack, storage industry or my 8 month-old son. All are good topics worth writing. However, instead of starting to write one of the topics, I forced myself into a trap evaluating which topic is better, in terms of being the #1 post of my blog. The result, obviously is not good: no single post in the past two weeks.

I am kinda surprised that I have experienced the writer's block on blogging. Not because I am a good writer, but because I just took a business communication course 3 months ago. On that course Professor Mendel taught me a very practical way to overcome writer's block: in essence, writing is a form of thinking. So whenever I need to write something, I should start with ease: write everything in my mind and come up with a rough draft, or in Professor's words, "a disposable draft". The idea of a rough draft is to provide a basis to start the thinking process. I can pick up ideas, organize thought and edit based on the rough draft. Since everyone can write the rough draft, the writer's block should never happen; and one can always work on the rough draft.

This post is actually a practice of Prof. Mendel way of overcoming writer's block: since I am thinking of writer's block, I am writing all that down and enjoying my first Sun blog.
