Unfortunately for me, they played right next to it. Still, I think the 76 points for this was worth the swap—it also prevented them from playing off of this!

Now, #Crossplay lets you preview plays while your opponent is taking their turn. If I can make this next play, it’ll be for 96 points.

Just had the big brain play of my life in #Crossplay. My opponent played QUILL in the bottom-left one space above a triple word score. I don’t have an S. But I check the bag and sure enough, there’s one S left in the game.

I don’t know if my opponent has the S but I know my best chance is to get 7 tries to get it out of the bag. So I swap all of my tiles.

Jackpot.

Heading down to Ohio for #CodeMash! Hopefully nobody minds the decorations on my car. #GoBlue

I got a 3D printer for Christmas so of course I’m printing #Gridfinity boxes to organize my bathroom storage and making a #HomeAssistant dashboard to monitor it

I started monitoring my home energy usage and noticed these spikes of several kW. We chalked it up to an appliance somewhere, maybe the new fridge. Later we went to check the levels in the hot tub—which we haven’t used for *weeks* due to the frigid temperatures—and noticed that the chlorine dispenser was propping up one side of the cover. So for weeks, our hot tub was not properly sealed. Looking today the energy use is *way* less. I don’t even want to know how much this cost…

The 8x zoom on the iPhone 17 Pro Max is quite something. Having great seats for the game didn’t hurt, either! #GoBlue

One of the best things I’ve done since moving in to our house is investing in the networking. I’m running a full Ubiquiti stack, which made it very easy to adopt T-Mobile backup internet over cellular for Xfinity outages. Just this morning the cable blipped for a minute or so, and I didn’t even notice because the automatic failover to T-Mobile happened immediately. Highly recommended!

Me: Encounters bug, thinks to myself, “I should report this.”

Also me: *starts screen recording*

Bug: *immediately stops reproducing*

Finally got my EV charger hooked up after 4 years of renting. Currently pulling 9.1 kW into my car!
