Question:
Why the name for your web site, "The Zodiac Master" - and is your
nickname,
Dr Z, short for Dr Zodiac?
Answer:
Actually...
don't tell anyone... but the original name of this 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 the 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...
The
eventual 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
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 sites, blogs, and the like...). But
Gus passed on to the greater Universe beyond, before his desire
to
build a
web
site
came to fruition...
In
naming an astrology site, I'm rather certain that Gus (a Sun Sign
Aquarius with Scorpio Rising) would have come up with the most
iconoclastic, irreverent,
and outlandish name possible...
Further,
in naming this astrology site, The Zodiac Master - I meant
to shake up and wake up any visitors that 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?
