Dot Com Pho - Pho Tan Edition

written by John Chow on November 8th, 2008

While we’re calling this episode of Dot Com Pho the Pho Tan edition because it was held at Pho Tan, it could have been call the everyone was late edition because most everyone showed up late. I doubt this had to do with the location because was pretty easy to find. At any rate, better late than never, or so Ed thought.

We had a nice turn out of a dozen people making it out for the weekly Pho fest, including some camera shy newbies. Their names are in the credits but you won’t see them in the video. For the Pho Tan edition of Dot Com Pho, we have the Vancouver Blogger Meetup, the gadget of the week, financial tip of the week, phone call from the President Elect, iPhone app of the week, blog test dummy, Twitter shout outs and where the hell is Ed.

Dot Com Pho was filmed using a Flip Mino digital camcorder and edited with iMovie 08 on the MacBook Air. See you next week!

Again, looks like a great Pho meet-up. Inspires to do a local meetup as posted earlier.

Awesome! Of the few dotcom-types of meetups that I attend, I am almost always the only girl. I don’t really mind… I was just curious. :)

Regarding the comment about “after tax”, don’t forget that also applies to the income side of things too. Just because you get paid $X per month does not mean that you have the same amount to spend as you see fit. It’s after tax.

And whoa! Lemmy was there? How did he not make the video (and only the credits)?

Because him and Sharon showed up so late that we’ve finished filming by the time they came.

Thanks for the Pho shout out. Next time your back in Toronto I’ll definitely come to one.

btw your spam filters need to be updated, these guys keep getting through.

Sweet video, too bad for your 22K crap.

I love the iPhone App that’s perfect.

Yes, my favourite hobbies are motorboating in BC, and massages.

I can’t believe Lemmy showed up! Too bad Kwan wasn’t there. I know he wanted to throw down :lol:

I’ve long since buried the hatchet. If he’s still holding a grudge, so be it.

It was made very clear at DCP that Lemmy loves all things Apple and Mac-related. Who would’ve thought! ;)

Tax can always be a nasty surprise if you don’t factor it in at the beginning that’s for sure. I can also certainly see some interesting uses for that iPhone app!

Thanks for the Twitter shout-out guys, have a good weekend!

I did a dot com pho Twitter shoutout but I think I hit it too early. It was right after you said you were there but people were late.

I got caught up in buying my daughter a new puppy, so I ended up missing it a little later.

Maybe next week! Or maybe you could just do a John Chow Steven-Sanders.com shoutout in a blog post. >:)

John, have you ever thought about having a live webcast of Dot Com Pho? I think it would be really interesting, aside from having to watch people eat for a little while.
