The Phall Season Premiere of Dot Com Pho
Posted by Stephen on

People have been getting lives lately. I’ve decided to go back to school and throw a few weights over my head. Leo has been obsessed with skin jobs. Ed has been trying to show Greg Morgan how to be a real boy by taking him on a date in the park. Our friend Michael “Kwanye” Kwan has been trying to associate freelancing with good driving habits, which isn’t such a good idea considering he crashed a segway which, according to an engineer, is impossible to do. I think iPhone Gary has an audio (the video part is fail) somewhere.
At any rate, today we got together for a Phall Premiere to the new Dot Com Pho Season. This week’s episode ends up being a “John Chow Pho – John Chow…and some other people too” edition because somebody forgot to bring their camera (*COUGH*…ED). I don’t *think* John tries to do that on purpose, but it’s even possible he doesn’t even know he’s promoting himself anymore. John talks a lot, then there is something about Twitter and iPhones, and then we hand out a bunch of limited edition Dot Com Pho Pens (comment here to get some) courtesy of Tej at 1234PENS…and you might catch the rest of us in there somewhere…briefly…of course. Ray and Wolfgang were also here this week while Kwanye is stuck in Deadmonton and Leo doesn’t use twitter and I forgot to phone him…
I really wonder if that’s better than a 10 minute video with mainly walking and the sound of Ed’s voice in various monologues with rambling explanations of things. At least it “seems” like he tries to put some care into the “Never Ending Walking Sequences”. But then again, John did make an effort this week…by changing some of the WHITE FONT to a YELLOW FONT. Baby steps.

It was good meeting up with (mostly) everyone again. I was craving Pho Lan since it had been so long since I had my last meal there. The infamous MK audio/FAIL video can be heard here…

This week’s video seemed awfully short. It needed the shaky hands of a Kwanye Gadget of the Week, methinks.

I think you should do gadget of the week and send it to Ed.

The time is about right. Very few people will stick around if a video is much longer than five min. Keep in mind that YouTube and most other video sharing site don’t count a view unless it’s watched from beginning to end. The longer the video, the less the views.
I think part of the reason why this week’s video felt short was that the Twitter shoutouts took too much time and, honestly, weren’t very interesting. It may be better if you chose one or two “tweeps” to mention, rather than going through all of them.
