My Nokia Bluetooth headset will pair with my Mac mini, but Skype won’t do audio in or out through it when it’s set to use the headset in the preferences pane. I spent 15 minutes fighting with it to no avail. So much for stuff “just working” with the Mac.

Margaret Soltan ponders student evaluations; I generally agree with her view that they largely should be taken with a grain of salt—in large part because you’re simply never going to please everyone. Now that I’m a bit more comfortable in my professorial skin, I don’t worry quite so much about them, but it’s not like I can stop thinking about them any time soon.

Speaking of evaluations, how do folks handle written evaluations in job applications? I’ve only ever included my numeric summaries of evaluations, since I couldn’t figure out any sensible way to include the written evals I have, at least, not in any way that would make it obvious that they were student evaluations instead of figments of my own imagination.

My rental agent is showing the apartment today, I’ve requested 3 in-home estimates for movers, and I picked up a giant box at Costco filled with moving supplies. I guess I really am moving to St. Louis.

Of course, it would help if I had an apartment there to move into, but I suppose one has to take these things one step at a time.
