Holy crap you updated your blog! I've gotten so used to seeing the "Vegetarianism" title I almost fell off my chair.

I'm not a vegetarian by a long shot I do enjoy this vegetarian sandwichish meal:
pita bread and humus or babaganus along with some nice cheese, like a gouda or brie is pretty tasty. you could even throw some lettuce in there.

I quite enjoyed Maximum Risk but Bloodsport definitely ranks amongst my top favorites.

I recently did an entry on my blog regarding some of the follow-up movies from Van Damme's collection.

Thanks, great list. I have read maybe a third of them. I guess I have some catching up to do!

the only thing you left out in the comparison is durability. I think the macbook pro's cover and frame is a bit more robust. That said I think for mobility the macbook wins out.

I bought the low end MacBook and it works great (but it's not my primary machine). I'd love to see something even smaller and more portable.

Remember that these new laptops are easy to upgrade. More RAM or a larger HD can be installed in minutes, so you don't need to buy a more expensive model if you just need more storage space.

I'm with Ben. The deal breaker is the graphics chipset. The Intel graphics are capable, decent chips as long as you don't expect a top rate gaming chip.

so... what are you asking for the G4?

Dude...wtf...pro = prestige

MacBook. Extra cost isn't worth it unless you plan on gaming, and the 13.3" is the perfect size for portability. Come on though, pay the black tax!

Double Impact... he plays his OWN TWIN! How could it get better than that?!?

Although Sudden Death combines hockey + Van Damme...

Bloodsport. Hands Down.

Considering Lon only posts to his blog about once a quarter, you should feel quite honored! Heh. :)

Alex — Thu, 15 Feb 2007 17:55:43 -0000

wow, Lon, sweet review. Thanks! As Yan said we are working on the multi day feature. It is actualy something we need as well. Stay tuned for a sweet design uplift and a more integrated Planypus. Keep the comments comming we always look to improve.

Thanks for the love Lon! We're sadly unable to make railsconf due to time and budgetary constraints. However, we are actively working on improving the Planypus interface and design, as well as launching new features all the time.

Re: John Mayer Has a Blog

I've been thinking of ways to define my years of love and appriciation for that person, and I just can't find ones. the words had not been invented yet:) so yes, everything written above is true about him. no doubt he is all those things: funny- simple- modest-extrimely intelligent- creative guy. his blog definitely reflects how real he is...and that what touches the most about him- that he just keeps on being him........John... I hope you realize, that everything you've ever hoped you would be, you are.

I have just discovered this as well. I love his "Tanning" parable.
It is hard to believe he is just 29. he is such an old soul. Thats fabulous.

lolz...i go on his blog almost everyday just to read his stuff..its hysterical. I luv him..his sense of humor is weird and i like that!

Re: John Mayer Has a Blog

Renee May — Tue, 17 Oct 2006 01:31:42 -0000

John is a super intelligent guy. I find him to be the most refreshing person around.
I'm so glad he blogs. I think it's a great way of showing us his inner complexities.
Besides, he's just funny. Sometimes the funny can be easily grasped, other times you need to think a little harder.

I hope he keeps it up. It's my weekly entertainment.

The good thing about John Mayer's writing is that he can turn the most nonsensical thoughts into a very intellectual story. And there is nothing funnier than that. He has some very good styles too; his analogies are almost, if not seamlessly, perfect. I sometimes wonder how he comes up with them. A negative though, is that some, if not most, of his fans never gets his humor and sometimes gets confused. But I'm sure when they read and reread a few times they get it.

The man is a literary comic genius.
