This week’s Dot Com Pho achieved a couple of firsts. For the first time ever, Ed Lau was the first one to show up. We thought that was amazing but it was eclipsed by the achievement of a one guy to one girl attendance ratio! Whoever heard of a dot com meet up where there are just as many girls as guys?
We decided to go to Pho Thai Hoa this week because Ed really like the subs there. However, he never ordered one. The location is central for everyone so we may hold more Pho meet ups there in the future. All attendees got a copy of Broke: The New America Dream. For the 1 guy, 1 girl edition of Dot Com Pho, we have Ed’s tip on being a lazy ass, Pho menu #29, beautiful girls and the return of the Twitter shout outs.
Anyone is welcome to join us for Dot Com. Follow me on Twitter to find the time and location of the next one.

One of the most common complaint (or excuse) I hear from potential new bloggers is they don’t know how to install WordPress. Terms like FTP and CPanel are like a foreign language and setting up a database might as well be setting up the space shuttle for a launch. Because of the technology barrier, many would-be bloggers never start their blogs...

When I heard John tweet out about the 1:1 ratio, I thought he was including Sally and Sarah. Haha.
On a side note, I think John should get some of those ESL lessons.
And start making the income you make for having perfect English?
I never said perfect English makes money. Guys like the Sedins (at least earlier in their career) can attest to that.
Another way of thinking about it: There are a lot of people who are in great physical shape who are far from wealthy and there are a lot of really rich guys who are very out of shape. The rich guy is making more money than the poor guy, but that doesn’t mean that the rich guy shouldn’t try to be healthier.
You sure came back with the counter-comment there John~
I am too john, perfect English is not necessary to play the E M O games, but to complete it faster and open the new stage you need a cheat code.Take a look around Japanese peoples.technology never ask for perfect English. Being perfect in your skills is essential and everyone knows about john chows E M O skills.
WOW too bad i can’t attend it. i think i’ll need some time
My last post
I following your twitter so nice for me to get this information.
great to see another episode, been a while since I got a chance to read your posts and your certainly bridging the gender gap!
ed ate a sub, i saw him!
actually, he was also the most charming that he has every been. must have been the three young gals at the table.
i take myself out since i am as old as john chow.
I’m always charming!
And yes, I did ordered a grilled pork sub.
John you need to bring Dot Com Pho all over the country!
Thanks for the shout out!
This would seem like the ideal opportunity to have the ear of the masters over lunch. Just watch it, somebody will still fly in just for this opportunity. Heed my words…..
Opportunities to start working over yourself are everywhere! Thanks for the idea!
Hahhaha they are Vietnam Foods! Bún Bò Huế is the best food
John seems that you all enjoy the dot com pho this time, I’m sure you all enjoyed the time since so many girls were joining this round.
The food looks amazing. I would like to visit your place.
Quadruple date?
It seems another great dot com pho.
Good to see that women take more and more a seat in the Make Money Online business, SY
It seems to have benefit for women side too for making online business sucessful.
I prefer my woman in a home based business making me a sandwhich
…but unfortunately, I make the sandwiches
1 to 1, sounds like fun!
Watch out John, one of these days the women just might outnumber the guys….
…yes, that would be terrible.
All we would need to do is just send Ed out as bait for pimps and he’ll be bringing beautiful girls directly to our Pho…for a price… LOL
I do not think Pho reached at such low level.
He can’t help it. He’s a magnet for them as explained in the video.
It is nice when the girls come out to play, isn’t it just! Sadly women are still emancipated in many ways, so I find it refreshing to have equal numbers of girls and boys attending events such as these. Go Girl Power!
I will attend some day soon. I am just too busy most of the time. And how many of the women are hot? lol. When I go, I’ll buy you dinner John
Sounds like fun, I really should pop in sometime except my wife and I had a baby last week and I am sleep deprived. I could have had some Pho at three in the morning last night I was so hungry.
I hope you enjoyed the time many girls joined in this round. And yeah, even i agree perfect english is not that necessary to earn bucks.
