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, and rebellious mystic... and you may have noticed that slight tendency on your visit(s) here?

Actually... don't tell anyone... but the orginal name of this site was The Zodiac Hacker. I naively chose that "clever" name, not 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. I quickly realized 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...
