How I did it: How did I do it? I used my eyes and directed them over the lines of text, obv.I read Pride and Prejudice on my iPhone using the Stanza application. Thanks to Project Gutenburg you can download thousands of classic novels for free. I quite enjoyed reading it on the iPhone. Found myself sneaking in a few pages while in the queue at the post office. Read how I did it…
How I did it: After years of banging on about making a Christmas cake I finally made one for Xmas 2009.
