It took me quite a while, but I’ve compiled this exhaustive tutorial on how to convert your iPhone to an iPod Touch. This is confirmed to work on all versions of the iPhone on both Sprint and Verizon. It works on any version of iOS, including 3, 4, and 5.

1. Hold your iPhone in front of you vertically, holding it as still as possible.
2. Utter a magical incantation of your own design. Candidates include (but are in no way limited to) “Shazzam!”, “Abracadabra” and “Poof!”. The choice is yours, really. Sky’s the limit on this one, be creative.
3. Slowly raise the phone over your head, as if offering it to an unseen deity above you.
4. Carefully place the phone on a flat surface, such as a table or workbench.
5. Don’t pay your phone bill.

That’s it! Once you complete these steps, your wireless carrier will disable your phone and data services. (I’ve confirmed that all carriers will do this for you automatically.) Your WiFi will still work as usual. Congratulations! You have successfully converted your iPhone into an iPod Touch! Rejoice and prepare to figure out how to spend the $1200 a year you were spending on something else!

Hi, everybody! I am going to have a table set up across the street from Radio Room on Alberta for Last Thursday. There will be some other fine people there as well, including Keri Friedman and Lucia Johnson.

I will have bamboo notebooks and brooches from makethingsfor.me as well as prints from The Pocket Universe. I will be there from 5pm until I either sell or get sad and wander off.

I drew you a map.

Please stop by! I would love to see you there!

So, in short: Jaybill @ Last Thursday – 7/27/2001 from 5pm on across the street from Radio Room in PDX. Come say hello and maybe buy some stuff.

You may have seen some of my drawings floating around recently, either on this site or on one of the social networks I use. I’m not really sure what prompted me to start drawing again, but it probably had something to do with having a large supply of notebooks. Inspired by a certain cartoonist friend of mine, I started using felt-tip pens, which I had never tried before. I found that I really like working with them and I produced some things I was pretty happy with.

I decided to throw a quickie site up to display them. It’s called The Pocket Universe.

I hope you will like them as well. I don’t know if I’m going to update the site a ton, but I thought I’d put some of the better ones out there and see what happens.
