You can take a pic of your iPod Touch screen by pressing the power button and the home button at the same time. Might work on the iPhone too. Give it a try. We need proof here.

i actually used to do that regularly, back before I had kids. Everything except the real estate section, used to even go through all the flyers/coupons that came in the middle. Would only read Safire's column in the magazine, along with the reader submitted story on the last page, and then read the rest of it throughout the week.

Isn't that what poor people do?

Wow, awesome!

Congrats!, the NYT crossword is pretty tough. I have finished the local paper's crossword once or twice and that was pretty rewarding... for a small timer.

Here's the pic...I guess you'll have to trust me that I didn't cheat (though what's the point in cheating and bragging online to strangers?). The most amazing thing about this is while I can get every Monday and Tuesday puzzle, and most Wednesday puzzles, I've never even solved a Thursday - Saturday puzzle ever before.

I find the Thursday and Friday ones particularly tough because the often have wide open spaces but not a real gimmicky theme that lets you fill in big sections once you figure it out.
