It has been more than two months since I’ve written a real post on this blog. The law of inertia states that the longer I don’t blog, the more difficult it is to pick up blogging.
Back in the good old blogging days, I’d spend a few more hours after work blogging about work. People ask me where I find the time to blog? Well, the answer is, I had no life. Everyday was work, eat, blog, and sleep. Pretty boring, eh? Then again, all that blogging over the past two years served me well. It made me a better writer. It gave me first page ranking for searches like “technical writer Shanghai”. It got me my current job at Google. (or so I think)
Well, I don’t think I can keep up with that former life as a prolific blogger anymore. There are too many things to blog about that I don’t even know where to start. I can write a bunch of posts about life at Google, all the nice perks, good food, interesting people, cool products, etc… But time is what I don’t have anymore.
So posting will be pretty sporadic. I apologize to those who have been eager to read about what life is like working at Google. The posts will come… soon.

Nevertheless, it’s great to have you back in my Google Reader!
I notice you’re using Wordpress and that you now commute over an hour every day between Zhangjiang and People’s Square (me too – I feel your pain!). You could try to use this time for blogging. There is an excellent (free) Wordpress app for the iPhone which you can use to blog on the go. I know it may be a little too crowded on the train to do this but you could give it a try!
Thanks for the suggestion! That’s a great idea to use my long commuting time to blog.
I tried the WordPress app on the iPhone and it doesn’t work very well. =( It doesn’t seem to save my drafts consistently, and I’ve had to rewrite a bunch of stuff.
In any case, I do hope to spend some of the commuting time thinking about things to blog about. Thanks again!
