Question:
Why the name for your web site, "The Zodiac Master" - and is your
nickname,
Dr Z, short for Dr Zodiac?
Answer:
The naming of my astrology web site, "The Zodiac Master" and its
equally irreverent motto "You Bet Your Sweet Astrology" are dedicated
to the memory of a buddy named Gus who was originally responsible for getting
me hooked on computers.
My friend Gus
had always dreamed of building his own web site (this was back
in the "web's stone age," before it became common
place to have a personal web site...). But Gus passed on to the greater
Universe beyond, before his desire to build a web site came to fruition...
In naming a site, I'm rather certain that Gus (a Sun Sign Aquarius
with Scorpio Rising) would have chosen the most wild, irreverent,
and outlandish name possible...
Further, in naming this astrology site, The Zodiac Master - it
was originally meant to shake up and wake up any visitors who might
not have a sense of humor about their spirituality and/or beliefs.
If you haven't already figured it out... life is already way too
serious. I've always been somewhat of a light-hearted, irreverent,
iconoclastic, and rebellious mystic... and you may have noticed that
slight tendency on your visit(s) here?
Actually...
don't tell anyone... but the original name of my site was The Zodiac
Hacker. I naively chose that "clever" name,
not (at the time) fully realizing the nature of Internet Search Machines,
and that every computer hacker and (worse) wannabe computer hacker
on the Internet would be dropping by to learn more about hacking.
Despite more than a little initial positive support from the hacker
community, I reluctantly decided keeping that name would likely be
an accident waiting to happen.
And as for my
nickname, Dr Z, it was originally a shorter version of "Dr Zeus" (a
long time internet nickname I once had). But now that you mention
it - I like Dr Zodiac, as well...
