Won Over By Reality By Tim Bayer BRIGHTON New York—(Weekly Hubris)—5/13/2013—My previous post was titled “Dancing With My Dog” (though who was whose, and who was dancing with whom might be debated).

Won Over By Reality By Tim Bayer BRIGHTON New York—(Weekly Hubris)—5/6/2013—Last week in this space, we learned a little about Men’s Brains vs Women’s Brains.

Now, try to image your response in an experiment where you suddenly found [...]

Won Over By Reality By Tim Bayer BRIGHTON New York—(Weekly Hubris)—3/18/2013—Last week in this space, the video I presented came to you via a column titled “Walk On The Wild Side While Talking.” This Monday, I’m feeding my (and perhaps your) inner car geek, as we take a drive on the wild side with Ken [...]

Won Over By Reality By Tim Bayer BRIGHTON New York—(Weekly Hubris)—3/11/2013—I found the Daily Show take on the Russian meteor that I shared last time in this space very entertaining. The video I’m offering up for your amusement this week made me laugh out loud (while sitting alone at my computer). Hope you find it [...]
