FAIRPORT New York—(Weekly Hubris)—1 August 2021—Mark Rober is astonishingly good at 1) engineering, 2) fabrication, and 3) story-telling—a rare trifecta of talents, to be sure.
Squirrels, on the other hand, can leap 10 times their body length; are able to turn their ankles 180 degrees to face any direction when climbing; have superb vision; and learn new skills by quickly copying other animals.
But . . . Mark confidently pits his own formidable skills against the gang of squirrels in his back yard. The result is, “Backyard Squirrel Maze 2.0 aka The Walnut Heist.”
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 (TBayer.com) 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)
