I hope other Mike Ho’s out there have a relaxing Thanksgiving. Perhaps one of them will try bacon-wrapped Turducken. Let me know someday…
I’ll point out another semi-famous Michal Ho — he spells his name a bit differently, but he’s just missing the letter ‘e’ in there. Michal Ho has a presence on MySpace, promoting his techno/house/electronica music and latest album, Screw The Coffeemaker. I can’t say I’m a big fan of the techno/house/electronica genre, but I’m glad there’s a Michal Ho out there who is.
My sister-in-law sent this video to me.. a little late. I voted by absentee ballot a long time ago, so I’m obviously not the guy in this clip.
In case the video becomes unviewable someday.. it’s a gag, obviously. Moveon.org created it to encourage more people to vote for Obama. The video can be customized for any name so that the recipient will be “shocked” when their own name is seen in the video, blamed for the defeat of Obama.
This is the email I received for it:
Dear Mike,
Your friend Lien sent you the following video from CNNBC: “Obama’s Loss Traced To Mike Ho”
Watch it here:

I’ll be passing out candy to the neighborhood kids later today. Maybe I’ll dress up like a Taiwanese actor? But somehow I doubt anyone will think I look like this famous Mike Ho…
Any Mike Ho fans out there? I guess technically, this guy’s name is actually “Mike He” — but Mike Ho is another somewhat acceptable English spelling of his name.
I’ve been collecting messages from other Mike Ho’s for a few years at mikeho.com, but I haven’t really updated the site in a while. I think the time has come to revamp the mikeho.com website, so I’ve created this Tumblr blog for communicating with my fellow Mike Ho’s out there. The voice mailbox to contact me is also new, so if you’d like to leave a message for me (and other Mike Ho’s), please call (973) 346-7349. Enjoy the voicemail messages that I’ve received so far… and spread the word to other Mike Ho’s.
After a long drought, another Mike Ho left me this message in 2005. I’m guessing there’s a high density of Mike Ho’s in San Jose, California. And if a killer robot from the future ever tries to target John Connor Mike Ho, the Bay Area will probably be one of the first places the robots will attack.
Maybe you should turn down the volume on this one.. because this message contains some language that your boss probably doesn’t want to hear coming out of your cubicle.
Ok, this voicemail might be a prank. But who knows?
