New Yamaha YSP-2200 soundbar

By weneversleep On January 4, 2012 · Leave a Comment

I’ve been using a Sony HT-CT100 for a few years, and I just got a new Samsung 55″ D8000 TV, so I figured a new soundbar was in order. I prefer soundbars to separates; I just like the “continuous” soundfield effect.

I bought the YSP-2200 about a week ago, after much research on this forum [...]

AX88178 USB Gigabit ethernet driver and Mac OS X Lion

By weneversleep On July 21, 2011 · Leave a Comment

UPDATED: see below

Big Lion install fest yesterday. Other than a few hiccups, all went well on all of my Macs.

However, I ran into two problems:

1. When the Lion installer rebooted on my 2006 MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo), it booted into the recovery partition. I quit the installer, selected the boot disk [...]

Linux for non-nerds: still fails

By weneversleep On April 25, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Disclaimer: I’m a nerd, geek, whatever you want to call it. As proof, I spent a Sunday afternoon installing Mint Linux (10) into a virtual machine on my Mac Pro. No real reason, other than I wanted to test out a non-Windows VM in VMWare Fusion, and because I haven’t installed a Linux distribution in [...]

No blog entries in a while, just Twittering

By weneversleep On January 3, 2010 · Leave a Comment

I’m a Twitter convert.  SharePoint, trading, personal stuff, whatever.  Just quicker and easier than writing blog entries.  Is micro-blogging it an excuse for not writing full-length posts?  Maybe, but I’m not alone.

Moral of the story?  Follow me on Twitter: @weneversleep.

DeVotchKa in Houston last night

By weneversleep On February 10, 2009 · Leave a Comment

An old friend of Lori Ann (and her brother), Tom Hagerman, was in town last night, touring with his band, DeVotchKa.  Tom called us, and gave us all-access passes to the show.  We got to go backstage before the show and hang out with the band, drink their beer, and catch up with Tom.

First date night since Brandon was born

By weneversleep On November 17, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Lori Ann and I had our first “date night” since our son was born this last Saturday night.  I arranged a special meal at theRainbow Lodge with their new chef, Randy Rucker.  It was an eight-course “degustation” food and wine pairing.

And it was amazing.

I will post pictures of each dish [...]

Life updates

By weneversleep On October 30, 2008 · Leave a Comment

My son Brandon was born almost 2 months ago.  He’s growing like crazy, because he’s eating like crazy.  We joke that he has a “hollow leg”.  But, we’re figuring things out as parents, trusting our instincts, and he seems to be doing just fine.

I instructed this last weekend at the Porsche club HPDE at [...]
