I was at something of a loss when I saw this one. I thought about the sourdough starter in the refrigerator, but it’s not really doing much in there right now. Over coffee and breakfast, as I finished the paper and started into the crossword puzzle, it occurred to me that the puzzle was coming to life. “It’s Alive.”
It’s alive! Possible spoiler alert. Tuesday’s NYT crossword coming into focus. I budget about 20 early AM minutes, so it doesn’t always come together, especially by Thursday. #tdc3043 @ds106dc @eng304cripps pic.twitter.com/ePLd4l2KJ3

Quick:
- Take phone from pocket.
- Open camera app.
- Take picture.
- Share to Twitter with #tdc3043, @ds106dc, and @eng304cripps.
- Load it into page for ePortfolio, with explanation about inspiration/idea, tool used, etc.
- Make sure I have the “ds106dc” keyword at the bottom.
- Done.
And then I noticed I hadn’t read the prompt closely. It called for a POEM! Oops. Lesson learned. Here’s a poem:
It’s Alive!
Peering through the puzzle clues,
Pouring soymilk over Cheerios,
Poring over the rows and columns,
Penning answers with a Bic Round Stic,
Pondering a proper create for #tdc3043,
Proclaiming, eventually, “It’s Alive!”
Not all Dailies need to involve lots of image/text manipulation. I’m glad I did this one without making a meme, editing an image, or turning a video clip into a GIF.
