Curious Hands of Honda
Won Over By Reality
By Tim Bayer
BRIGHTON New York—(Weekly Hubris)—9/9/2013—My column last week featured a video of a talking Canadian beaver (“Beaver Greeter”). And thank all of you who wrote in, or “Shared” the column on Facebook, for the positive feedback. The focus of my video offering this week is worlds away from wildlife on the Canadian border: the machines built by Honda.
Most people are aware of Honda motorcycles and cars, but Honda has turned out any number of varied contraptions since the company’s inception. The video here imaginatively illustrates the many different machines made by Honda over the years, utilizing a novel storyboard and excellent computer-generated graphics to create a compelling piece of film (albeit advertising—but you’ll forget that angle once you see it).

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.)
