While visiting my friends, Prof. Daniel Zhang and Prof. James Zhang, I showed them this blog. Prof. Daniel became fascinated with it, and I said it would be easy to set up a blog for him. Problem was, his computer wasn't configured in English. It spoke Chinese.
The word 'blog' was in English, but all the instructions were in Chinese, though the buttons were all in the familiar colors, and the screens were laid out as they usually are in blogspot. I was able to infer the meanings of many characters from their position-- what reading specialists call the pragmatic cuing system. Between the two of us, Daniel and I came close to getting his blog running. But not quite. Wednesday, I'm making a repeat visit, and this time I'll bring my own laptop. It speaks English.
