Miscellaneous Ramblings – TGIF Edition
Record Attendance Expected at Dot Com Pho
The TGIF edition of Miscellaneous Ramblings is all about fun. After all, it’s Friday and that means only one more day until Dot Com Pho! We are expecting over 30 people to show up for this weekend’s Pho fest. That will shatter the previous record of 16. I’m going to see Pho Lan today to let him know that we’re taking over his entire restaurant. I’m sure his reaction will be priceless. Looking forward to meeting everyone. The fun starts at 12:30.
Ten Steps to Avoid Becoming a Millionaire
The last time I checked, most people want to become millionaires. However, there’s always a small percentage who don’t. In the spirit of niche marketing gone wrong, No Debt Plan has posted Ten Steps to Avoid Becoming a Millionaire. I don’t think you really need to do all ten steps. Just performing step number five should keep you in the poor house for a long time to come.
Need a Date This Weekend?

Send Hope with Photos
BenSpark is working on a project to create a special slideshow/video for a family that really needs some hope. If you would like to see further details about the family you can visit his blog for the full write up.
Write a short message of hope and be photographed with that message, so write it large and colorful. Also if you could take the photo in a place that represents your part of the world that would be even better. What I will do is put each photo into a video slideshow to give to this family. I will set the video slideshow to music and hopefully have photos of people with messages of hope from all over the world. You can e-mail me your photo at hopephotos@benspark.com
Emergency Party Button
You ever see those “That was easy” buttons at Staple? You can’t help but push it, right? That’s the idea behind the Emergency Party Button. And for a mere $634, you can make your own. I know what I’ll be making this weekend! Check out this video of the emergency party button in action.

I wonder how that party button would work outside. Might be something I want to tell my readers about seeing how I blog about tailgating.
This Emergency Party Button is definitely the gadget of the week. wow…
LOL 10 steps to NOT be a millionaire?
Thats some good linkbait
Hey John are you going to update your ebook?
Yes, it’s a great title for attracting readers. Kind of like a “how to” list of what NOT to do.
The book is being updated, yes.
looking forward to reading your updated book. Maybe some more tips in it
?
Thanks for posting about the message of hope. I appreciate it very much John. Looking forward to meeting you at IZEAFest 2008.
Wow, that’s one crazy button. Someone needs to invent a party button for Blogs. You click the button and the webpage explodes with music and dancing hamsters and stuff. It’d be pretty fun to click people’s party buttons.
Kinda sad when it part was over. At least there was nothing to clean up.
Ah, spending more than you earn is one of the best ways to avoid becoming a millionaire. I think a lot of people are working at that one real hard.
*cough* subprime mortgage *cough*
I think those people are trying to emulate the government and go as far into debt as they can.
btw…If you have a Million dollars you’re called a Millionaire….What would you be called if you were $1 Million dollars in debt?

I’ll eat Pho locally, but you’re a little to far away for me to attend.
Sorry.

Btw:I added another step to avoid being a millionaire on the original site’s posting.
I like that fancy Emergency Party Button
John, TGIF for you is every day, isn’t it??
I TG everyday.
Not only that, but John loses track of the day of the week very often. It’s more like “Thank Goodness It’s Today”
lol thats probably the most funniest comment I have seen about John in a while .. good one Michael
He says YW…
…but try not to be so evil 
~Terry
I will make it to a dot com pho one of these weeks. Why oh why are Saturdays so busy? Oh I know, it’s becasue I’m at work every other day so I always have plenty to do on my day off!
Nice day today hey John! Well, it was nice here in kits.
Dude, I can’t wait to see 30 people fit into Pho Lan. That’s the entire middle row of the restaurant or all the tables to the sides.
Someone want to tell me what - “» Make Money Onine with The Peel Away Ad” means. Is that Chinese for online?
I love how all you scabs kiss Johns brown ass like a bunch of wannabees. “Oh if only I can take a picture of a Ferrari in a Car dealer some day…’

I wish I have a party button for myself.
Whats wrong with the no. 5 point on the millionaire blog?
Emergency Party Button huh!! Hmmm… Interesting! This box reminds me of Jumanji. But if only you could unleash a party from a box like that and press away when you feel that its a bit too much…
A money button would be more useful in my opinion
Press the button and … abracadabra … 100.000$
I am sure you guys will have a wonderful time at a Dot com PHO …..I am gonna miss out once again.
I miss all this for sure … I’m from Romania.
I would love to meet John Chow and maybe talk to him a bit … but Romania is to far away
wow that button is worth WAY more than 600 bucks, I want ten of them.
Love the “lady don’t hurt me no more” too .. makes a change from MOTORHEAD.
Damn! I need that buttom…. I’m going to build one of those
