Took Scott to sleep for his morning nap, now studying some Chinese characters while sipping a coffee. Inside, with airco on!

It's so incredibly hot in Shanghai. Wanted to read a book in my garden but it's just too hot to be outside. Luckily there is still the pool!

@dawei_nl Let's call it a baby jetlag. You get to sleep 2-3 hours at a time 2 or 3 times a night (if you're lucky).

@elliottng Managed to sleep again from 5:30 to 8, when my other baby woke me up. A part of life every young father has to go through!

Woke up at 3:30 and could not sleep anymore, so did some emails and read RSS feeds. Now it's 5:30, going to give sleeping a second try.

Interesting, just had a meeting with a headhunter who knew everything about me: she has been following my blog since 2004!

Good morning Shanghai! Could not sleep anymore after Elaine's last feeding, so decided to get up at 4 AM and do some work.

Putting some slides together for a presentation to group of university students. Not good timing, but I agreed to do presentation months ago

11 PM in Shanghai, time to shut down my laptop. Spent too many hours working again today, but also did some sports & spent time with family.

To all my recent Twitter followers: because of the Twitter block in China I am not able to easily check you out or add you at the moment.

@aqz Yes, that's the reason. Trying to control the information flow.

@sagebrennan Don't give them ideas Sage! That would be major trouble, although I'm sure people will find a way around that as well.

Great... Now Facebook is blocked as well in China. First YouTube, then Twitter, what's next?

Will not put problems we had on Twitter or Blogger this time, but probably send mail to head of consular section with points for improvement

Went to Dutch consulate this morning for passport for Elaine and new visa for my wife. Always a frustrating experience.

@gtowna Well, I have a gym in my house, so I just need to go two floors down after getting up. Not enough time to arrive stretched :-)

@gtowna It normally takes me at least 10 min to really get into the run, but then it gets lot easier. Eyes are fine.

Started day with run in the gym with Michael Jackson blasting from speakers. Start of run always difficult in AM but feeling great afterward
