Dot Com Pho - Return To LAN Edition
After a long layoff, Dot Com Pho returns to the place where it all started. Dot Com Pho started at Pho Lan and for this edition, we returned to the little Pho shop on Number 3 Road and Granville to shoot our latest episode. In attendance were myself and Sarah, Wolf, Ed Lau, Ray, Greg Morgan, Gary Ng and Stephen Fung, who showed up late.
A new feature of this week’s Dot Com Pho is the Twitter Shoutout. If you were following me on Twitter, you would have saw a twit asking for your name and blog to be included in the video. Those who replied to the twit in time will see their sites featured in the video. That’s one more reason to follow me on Twitter.
In addition to the Twitter Shoutouts, this week’s Dot Com Pho features blogging for food, Pho menu #21, lots of iPhones, Dot Com Pho pens, the tip of the week and how I got a free Macbook Air. Enjoy!

Reply to this commentThat looks like an interesting meal.. I hate onions however…
Reply to this commentYou always get something for free!
Reply to this commentPeople have such a complex where they think of other bloggers has being part of some kind of “elite.” Bloggers are just people! Ask, and you at least have a chance of getting what you want. Fun video, John! Soup looked yummy.
Reply to this commentYou are the lucky guy…
Reply to this commentI’m sorry, but you all look like a bunch of tossers…
Reply to this commentAnd those iPhones just look too large, roll on another year when Apple have the functionality & size worked into a perfect fit.
We have large enough hands, like most men, to accommodate iPhones.
Reply to this commentYeah, I can see that…the iPhone fits in your hand perfectly…& I love them, just can’t wait to see late next years model as with a bunch of you using them there, they just look a lot bigger than they need to be.
Reply to this commentWhen the next one comes, we’ll be using those.
Keep up with tech is a fun, if expensive, hobby.
Reply to this commentYou say that now, but when you see the 3.5″ touchscreen it’s all worth it!
Reply to this commentI wonder how many readers here know what a tosser is…
Reply to this commentWhat happened to Gadget of the Week?
Reply to this commentWe didn’t have one!
Reply to this commentI brought pens. Pens erase lateness.
I’m giving out FREE DotComPho.com pens. Comment on my post about Mirch Masala and I’ll send you some. Don’t worry, we did a spot check and they all seem to work
Kwanye will have some to hand out as well in a little while.
Reply to this commentI can’t believe I missed the chance for a shout-out. Oh well, maybe next time.
That was the funniest dot com pho I’ve seen.
Reply to this comment….i missed the shout out?
Reply to this commentI can’t believe you got a free macbook air.
I’m sure the “ask and you shall receive” policy only works if you’re big time like John.
Reply to this commentThanks for the shout out John! Enjoyed the video!
Reply to this commentI want your shirt. Give me that shirt.
Reply to this commentThere was a portion on the video i call. “The Iphone show-off”
Reply to this commentJohn,
I met Greg Morgan and Gary Ng at the Market Leverage dinner in Envy Steakhouse, when you were waving that huge stack of cash around, and I have recently wondered if Michael Kwan has been given FAA clearance to ride his scooter?
Sorry I missed the Tweet to include my blog in your video, maybe next time.
I am coming to a crossroads in my family’s financial future, and will have to make some serious decisions in December about our current home ownership and cars.
Looking for any way to ramp up income, blogging for dollars, ezine article writing, HubPages etc.
PPC / PPV is out of the question due to Credit Cards maxing out supporting ‘lifestyle’.
I volunteered to video the BlogWorld sessions, in order to get a chance for some assistance from the thought-leaders like you, Tyler, Zac, Jim K, Darren, and Shoe.
I did not want to intrude in your busy schedules, so refrained from sharing our current situation during such an encouraging and happy atmosphere.
Thank you for being so kind to me and laughing about Michael Kwan for a long time..
Respectfully, Nicholas - ‘the video guy’ at BlogWorld Expo 2008
Reply to this commentI missed the twittershout, maybe next time
Reply to this comment“He wants to be a real boy.” ROFL… I almost chocked on my drink… that was funny.
Reply to this commentI didn’t see the twit. So, do you still count me??? Or I should do what you said to be involved?
Reply to this commentHAahahaha. thanks so much John and Ed. My site surprised you guys. w00t.
Reply to this commentFollowing you on Twitter is no guarantee that you’ll get your message. I’m following many people and missed your post. The problem with Twitter is that doesn’t allow you to filter tweets by priority.
