Miscellaneous Ramblings - 6/12/2008
Over 400 Entries in 24 Hours
I can’t believe how many people entered the Market Leverage bag of stuff giveaway. You guys must really want that Flip Video really bad! At its current rate, I may have a thousand entries before the big draw on June 21 at Dot Com Pho. If you haven’t entered yet, then go join the fun.
Dot Com Pho Resumes
After being MIA for a few weeks, Dot Com Pho is back at its usual time and location. Anyone who likes the taste of Pho noodles and making money online is welcome to join us. Dot Com Pho starts at 12:30PM at Pho Lan in Richmond this Saturday. If you wish to attend, let me know and I’ll save a seat for you.
Vote for Ian Fernando
Ian Fernando needs your help to get into the Top Affiliate Challenge. Please go to his TAC page and vote him a 10. It would be really cool to have Ian on the show. Right now, he is in the 56th spot. He’ll need to get into the top 10 in order to have a shot at it so please go vote.
The Coolest Gift I Got From Computex
I received many gifts at Computex Taipei, but none was as cool as this one.

That is a really cool gift to keep you cool.
Reply to this commentYou seemed to know a lot about the fan for only opening it for the first time on camera.
Reply to this commentThat’s because I made it all up.
Reply to this commentHey John I have a question about the contest.. what I make many posts about the contest all linking to “http://www.johnchow.com/miscellaneous-ramblings-6122008/” Will I get many tickets or will it only count as 5, I’m asking this again even though I asked it in that page seeing as the other page has way too many comments and I’m bound to get a better response by posting in here.
Reply to this commentThanks I’d really like that ipod nano and WILL do everything in my ability to get it. Thanks
You need to send a trackback to the contest post, not this post.
Reply to this commentI wonder why you picked a date so far, the sooner the better because I simply can’t wait!
Reply to this commentLinkbait!
Reply to this commentI’m willing to bet you only get 1 entry per blog, seems like the logical thing
Reply to this commentHaha that’s a sick fan, i like it.
Reply to this commentI would love to see a hover craft desk! That is a very awesome fan, totally sweet!
On a side note, I have been reading and rereading your ebook and I must say it is a very good read. I can usually ramble on for hours about one topic or another and now I’ve found a way to have multiple reasons to do so! So, I just want to say, thank you very much!
Reply to this commentThere was a guy that built a desk car that he drives around. It looked pretty cool and like an actual desk, except with a motor, sterring wheel, and tires. He also built a couch car and a few other weird vehicles.

Something about that just seriously amuses me. Does he have a binary clock in the car?
Reply to this commentI tried finding a video of it but I couldn’t seem to find it. Perhaps I’m not using the right keywords to find it. They are neat contraptions for vehicles though.

The contest page crashes my firefox because of all the comments.
Reply to this commentYeah, its giving me errors too!
Reply to this commentI think it’s time to get a new computer!
Reply to this commentJust give it enough time and it’ll eventually load.
Reply to this commentIt will take time to load…the comments keep on building up!
Reply to this commentI know but there is some kinda script that smashes up the whole thing!
Reply to this commentI think some kind of Javascript error or something!
Hey John, couldn’t help but notice the date of the draw. It’s June 21st, not Jan (as in January) 21st right?
Reply to this comment
lol.. superb fan. can be pc cooler too. 
Reply to this commentYeah I know to the contest page, but What I mean is if I have 100 pages linking to the contest page will it be 100 x 5 = number of tickets I’ll get? Thank you for the answer
Reply to this commentIf you have so much time to do so many links and blogs, why dont you spend the same amount of time and earn money to buy those things?
Reply to this commentIt’s per blog. Linking from 100 pages from the same blog still gets you only five entries.
Reply to this commentI’d like to know the answer to Germz question. If that’s the case, I need to get linkin’!
Reply to this commentThat fan is pretty darn large… but it looks like a desk fan that you would use on yourself rather than your computer, because of the base at the bottom that would allow it to stand upright…
Reply to this commentJohn, you have 439 more entries on your contest that I have on my blog contest with ML stuff and other gadgets.
Reply to this commentThats called marketing muscle!
Reply to this commentUnbelievable!!! 400 entries is pretty amazing.
Reply to this commentI created a contest and only a few people entered!
John,
I want that fan! It’s darn hot around here
Reply to this commentThe coolest gift I got from COMPUTEX was an iPod nano and a whole bottle of Johnny Walker Black Label!
Oh, I got the fan too, but it’s kinda sucky and doesn’t do a whole lot.
Reply to this commentI rather have this- http://tinyurl.com/4s9l3j - but use it for keeping beer cool.
Reply to this commentI think you mean 400 comments and trackbacks and not entries John. If you multiply the trackbacks by the 5 entries you are giving each, your total entries will be well over 400.
Reply to this comment~Terry
Hows that? 400 entries is a good number for earning rambling…
Reply to this commentrunning out of ideas…
Reply to this commentnext will be usb car..for kids
what about a usb condom
Reply to this commentI stumbled across a USB vibrator once, was only small though, guess USB doesn’t have the “punch”.
Reply to this commentMy brother in law got his two year old a battery powered jeep for his birthday. It has AM/FM radio, cup holders, and seats two.
So yeah, not too far off I don’t think.
Reply to this commentthats a cool fan!
Reply to this commentWhat everyone really wants is the bag, not the Flip camera.
Reply to this commentGo buy it yourself at the NIKE Factory Outlet. I think they are 10 bucks.
Reply to this commentBut it’s got the logo on there! It’s different.
Reply to this commentSay no to other people’s logos! Put your own on there!
Reply to this commentYeah this is a cool gift, fortunately they didn’t send you a hot one because they would send you a heater
Reply to this commentJohn, your video’s are funny. It’s cool how authentic you are and not afraid to be a “goof” on camera. Most people are like that when they’re relaxed and hanging out with friends, but turn all serious when they get on camera or when they know the whole world is watching.
I think this “authenticness” is a large part of your success online. I can’t make it this weekend, but I definitely want to come out to more Dot Com Pho’s. The last one was fun.
Reply to this commentActually, we’re complete idiots on camera. Off camera, we actually have smart things to say. For example, while we were having a John Chow Free Edition Dot Com Curry House experience in Taipei, we actually talked about US politics. It was probably the most intelligent conversation that has ever come out of Ed, Michael and me.
When we turned the camera back on, all we could come up with was toilet humor and stupid shit. I guess we all put on some sort of face for the camera when the red light is on.
Reply to this commentLOL.
Reply to this commentI think most people are like that. But then…if we all weren’t silly on camera, who’d want to watch us?
Reply to this commentWow, John is quite a humorous guy. Cracking slick jokes. That’s how the web dudes roll.
Reply to this commentWow. Completely useless but highly entertaining.
Reply to this commentNow that’s a very cool idea to keep you cool
Reply to this commentThat would be funny if it was real. It wouldn’t surprise me if someone started selling those.
Reply to this comment400 entries! Wow! My chances feel high.
Reply to this commenti think i can also win then!!
Reply to this comment400 entries, and i’m sure it will keep on growing!
Reply to this commentthanks! john I definitely want to see what you got to teach at TAC! if anything I will probably see you again at another convention! =P
Reply to this commentWe are extremely happy about the overwhelming amount of comments left on the contest post! Your readers are great! I don’t think I have ever seen this many comments on a single post before! Good luck to everyone!
Reply to this commentWhere’s my plug, John?
Lol I’m just messing. It seems like you’re not the only one getting all the Market Leverage packages for a contest.
I sure hope Debby (above me) would send one my way, so I could start yet another contest
-Mike
Reply to this commentthanks john and as an update I am now ranked #12, huge jump!! I want to thank everyone for helping me out! really appreciate it and if I am on john’s team I will make sure I pos all his evil secrets!!
Reply to this commentForgetting the Ian part of it, FERNANDO sounds like FERDINAND (me), ha ha ha ha…so you will get my 10…
Reply to this commentI think the whole idea of getting something for nothing is very appealing to those of us working really hard online to make some income, that is probably why you have so many entries in the contest. Lets hope the winner is the most deserving entrant!
