Something to consider. I’ll make you chuckle again on Monday– promise! Paddle your own canoe, folks. But don’t deny those you love the opportunity to help steer. – Trevor One-sheets are Trevor’s frequent series of prose-y illustrated poems. You can find many more by perusing the category archive.

Front End, Back End
Not that I don’t love the satisfaction of getting the job done, but I end up spending so much time on stuff that isn’t strictly for my readers… Ugh. After all, this is all for you, folks. Paddle your own canoe Trevor

Why so little love for the Lumia?
September 5th has come and gone. We’ve seen the announcement of Nokia’s Lumia 820 and 920, how PureView technology doesn’t quite mean what we thought it would mean, and yet there’s a hollow feeling that seems to be pretty common amongst tech writers. With pretty freaking rad devices being announced, why was there so little love for the new Lumias? The problem may have been our expectations. We’ve been trained by Apple’s fantastic keynotes to have a certain level of excitement going into an event, and to watch for the…
Winston
Today’s one-sheet includes a big ol’ shout-out to Greg, the Gritty Gorg. I know that he’s a hell of a commentator on political happenings in this lovable if misguided land (and our lovable if misguided neighbours to the south), and I don’t doubt for a second that he’d make a hell of a statesman if he so desired. When he’s not talking shop about politics, he’s about wit and food and scotch and cigars, and reminds me more than a little of ol’ Winnie from time to time. I know there’s more snark…
On Working
I’m rarely the kind of person who suffers anxiety, but being out of work for a little while was awfully stressful. Fortunately, things are looking up. I’m working again. I’ll be working a variety of jobs, keeping busy, keeping variety in my work life. Eventually, I’ll want something 9-5, something full time, some single thing that’s really, really stable. But that’s not me, not right now. And it took a while to realize that. It sucks to be anxious about money, and I’m glad that that’s coming to an end…
Yellow Computer
It’s funny. I started reading way early — like, before the age of four — and I had parents who always read to me and read and Mom wrote all the time and my teachers were incredibly supportive of my writing, but for whatever reason, that dumb yellow computer still sticks in my mind as something that really stands out in my development as a writer. It was freedom. The freedom to write, the implicit suggestion to edit that comes with word processing, the ability to share stories with…
One-Sheet: Every Runner Knows This Moment
Today’s one-sheet shout-out is to someone who was so enthusiastic about my first one-sheet (the one with Captain Picard in his ambassador’s jacket) that I just had to feature her. Head on over to follow Peady on Twitter and you will find one of the most exuberant, supportive tweeps out there. She’s a COO and mom, digs TNG, and her Twitter avatar is a lovely, classy-looking glass of wine, which makes her just awesome in my mind. Thanks for the support and your happy tweets! Paddle your own canoe, guys…
One-Sheet: Andorians
Today’s one-sheet shout-out goes to Paul, who is not only awesome to chat with on Twitter, but is probably one of the most fun people in the world to watch James Bond movies with. Ever wanted a two-handed running commentary of horribly campy movies? This is the guy to do it with. I think the only time we were silent at any point during any Bond flick was during the Bond/Trevelyan fight at the end of Goldeneye, which we both had to admit, perhaps reluctantly, that it was not only…
Windows Phone Apollo: Should You Be Mad?
Hot on the heels of my excitement over the video of a Microsoft evangelist telling a Portugese tech site that all Windows Phone devices will get the next big update, Apollo, The Verge has reported that an anonymous source close to the company has quashed that hope, saying that no existing Windows Phones will get the next big update. Funnily enough, even though I use and love Windows Phone, I wasn’t too heartbroken with the news. After all, it’s been up in the air as to whether or not current devices…
