Thanks guys! And yes, that other Oxford would be quite a commute.

If they drive to Ohio, sure! That really sucks, CJ. It sounds to me like the cop just wanted to make his/her job as easy as possible. Depending on what the fines/insurance issues are, it might be worthwhile hiring a traffic attorney.

Miami seems to be one of those places where people stay for decades, and I'm sure Oxford itself is a big part of it. I'm excited. I'm less excited about the moving process, but I have a while before I need to worry about that.

Miami in Ohio, in my case. The position is the General Technology Manager for the bookstore system (Miami U is one of the few public schools to still have an independent bookstore, and it pretty much takes care of all non-departmental repairs, along with distance learning, educational tech, new-technology, campus-wide).

Thanks guys!

It's not something that I've quite done yet, as the official offer won't be until next week, but I have accepted a position at Miami University. It's a pretty perfect fit for my background and education, I'll be visible to the whole campus and, unlike so many academic staff positions, it has a built-in growth path. It's nice being the first choice, instead of the second, for once. It will be a bit of a commute to get from Cincinnati to Oxford, but I imagine that we'll move there fairly soon (Oxford is a beautiful semi-rural town, and Miami's campus and the city of Oxford itself are regularly rated as some of the best places to work and best places to live, in the entire USA, with Forbes having rated Oxford as the very best college-town on more than one occasion). I'm pretty excited.

Oh, he seems to like me a lot.

I spent a lot of time with the five year old whom I hope to be worthy of being the step-father to.

Happy birthday, Gene!

I have mostly used Crucial and OWC SSDs. A solid state drive makes a massive difference.

Happy birthday!

Godless, on Netflix. It's pretty good, and has a good cast, but it truly feels a bit like a mid-90s show. It's a combination of the pacing and the musical stingers that coincide with plot and character beats. A weird choice.

Feature, not a bug. It's a visual oil-level indicator: if it's not leaking, it's out of oil. If it's leaking, you need to add some more oil.

I didn't realize that you can do two faces. The Dillons are opaque from the outside, and Dillon themselves figured it wouldn't work, but they certainly didn't have an iPhone X in hand, when I asked

If anybody with an iPhone X also has a pair of Dillon Optics sunglasses, I would love to know if you are able to unlock the phone while wearing them.

Thanks guys! And the blurry filter is just something you have to be born with, Jim. It's saved plenty of camera lenses, in my case.

The battery tech is pretty mature, but I've seen Li-ion occasionally crap out well before their designed life. It's possible that the battery has bulged, which has in turn damaged the vibration motor. In that case, Apple would almost certainly give you a replacement refurb phone. You could probably send it to them. That way you could easily turn around and sell the replacement (assuming) and recoup some of the cost of the replacement. Anyway, I'm glad you were able to get to the bottom of the issue.

To me it's really starting to sound like the battery has gone bad, for whatever reason, and iOS 11 is just a coincidence. I would make a genius bar appointment and have them test the battery.

Thanks guys! So far so blurry good.

Thanks Shel!

I miss rueben sandwiches. That looks like a nice one. I don't give myself cheat days anymore, though I did let myself eat some sessile (and thus almost certainly non-pain sensing) sea creatures last night, post-wedding, in the form of mussels. I wasn't too envious of Colie's escargot and scallops once I tasted the vegetable risotto I ordered for my main course.

11 has been great on my 6s+ and my wife’s 6s. The variability is weird.

You've met me, Mike: the only thing ginger about me is the ginger I eat with my sushi. Colie is a ginger, yes. And thank you. Happy so far!

Thanks everyone! Pretty happy, so far.

Got married. It rained, and I blurred.
