Inside CNET Labs 28: No one gets Dong Ngo
LOL! That's our Dong! We'll be right back.
(Credit: Corinne Schulze/CBS Interactive)We begin this episode with some hater feedback via the 404 podcast. Apparently there is a person (or possibly persons) who just don't get Dong. And by "get," I mean understand. People, Dong is not meant to be understood. He is to be experienced. You keep reminding yourself of this and life will be that much smoother.
Having said that, I have no idea WTF Dong is talking about in the segment that follows. He kinda stumbles and trips through an explanation of some kind of nerdy teleportation breakthrough. Boring! If you can keep your eyes open during this segment, you'll be treated to an extremely informative, well-researched, and entertaining discussion on my workouts and weekly gains. Very exciting stuff.
Have you guys heard of this little known game called Call of Duty 4? It's actually really cool, kinda hard though. Then again my gaming skills are still less than satisfactory. Anyway, I try to convince Dong of its coolness.
Dong has many stories and today he tells a doosy involving dentists, inappropriate timing of storytelling, and plastic tarps. Well, you'll just have to listen.
Finally, we announce not, one, not two, but three--wait. Actually only two, two contests we announce in this ep. You'll have to listen to the episode to find out what they are though. Tee hee hee, ain't I a stinker?
OK, that wasn't the final item. I lied. We now have an Inside CNET Labs Facebook group. Join up if you're into that sorta thing!

Eric Franklin refused to write a bio, saying, "Why are you bothering me about this bio business again? If I wanted people to know more about me, I'd send them to the Inside CNET Labs Podcast" (shameless plug). E-mail Eric.
Eric Franklin's colleagues once had the following to say to him: "Eric, you've been doing this performance testing thing for over 10 years now. How about you try something different?" To which Eric responded, "How about you shut the #%$@! up?" This candid attitude
allows him to go toe-to-toe with the most extreme of personalities, including that of Dong Ngo. This bio was written by Eric Franklin.
Dong Ngo is a knowledgeable, opinionated individual who wants to convince the world that he's just a normal person; but he hasn't had much success. According to him, this is because the world itself is abnormal. Dong loves traveling and is well-versed in several languages. He, unfortunately, is not so well-versed in English. Still, it's best to ask him questions. From networking and how to optimize your system, to turning a strange place into home or what the meaning of life is…most of the time, he has the answers. The question is: Will he make himself understood? Subscribe and find out!
