BRIGHTON New York—(Weekly Hubris)—7/4/2016—As the resident technology and science geek here at Weekly Hubris, I have assumed a cosmic perspective on July’s topic: Home. Perhaps no one has so powerfully and succinctly described our minuscule place in the universe as Carl Sagan, when he described Earth as “a pale blue dot.”
First, in case you missed my last post, here’s a link back to Robotic Humor: Impressive & Funny.
After watching a robot, click the link below to the video with Carl Sagan’s description of our shared . . . pale blue dot.

(If you, yourselves, come across an entertaining link or video, I’d be interested in seeing it, and sharing it with my readers at Weekly Hubris. Please contact me at: Email: [email protected].)

Tim Bayer, Webmaster, and Assistant Editor of Weekly Hubris, was born and brought up in Webster, New York. He attended St. Bonaventure University, earning a BS in Computer Science, and then worked in the hi-tech world. In 2002 he turned his creative energies to product development and video production with the release of his first independently produced products. When the demand for web site design and freelance writing increased, he once again switched skill sets . . . to writing and web work. An avid or, to be more accurate, rabid, disc golfer, he may often be found chasing plastic while in pursuit of the perfect round on a disc golf course, or designing and developing disc golf products for Demogrid.com. He says he tries to find the humor hidden in everyday experiences, because, “life is too important to be taken seriously.” (Author photo by Tim Bayer. Author Head Shot Augment: René Laanen.)
