BRIGHTON New York—(Weekly Hubris)—5/19/2014—Often, one of the essays posted on Weekly Hubris will remind me of something encountered in the past: it will “take me back.” This was the case when I read Skip Eisiminger’s column, A Wing-Walker’s Belief: Space Faith.

Skip’s essay brought to mind a video narrated by Carl Sagan, in which he describes the Earth as “a pale blue dot.”

First, in case you missed my last post, here’s a link back to Bowled Over by Hamsters.

After checking out the hamsters, click the link below to the video with Carl Sagan’s description of our shared “dot in the dark.”

(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: tim@safegdriver.com.)

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.)
