Tarot-The Most Feared Cards:-WackyWhatever?

The Cards



The Tower





If, you are like me you wonder about all sorts of 
arbitrary things...- "Yeah?"

So then I was considering what it would be like if you attended a tarot reading and one of the dreaded forecasting cards came up in your shuffle.

The Devil, Death, the Tower...

Death


Imagine sitting across from the Tarot reader and seeing those cards in your stack:- Would you be scared???
Many people would not put themselves in such a precarious situation, but say...-YOU DID IT ON A DARE???

I'm no occultist but I have always been a little curious about the fall of the cards, the reading of fate.

The cards, like most any religion, are only as meaningful as their "Sayer" or "Seer's" interpretation.

If a card is dealt upside down, as  opposed to right-side-up, the meaning gleaned by the reader is apparently completely different.

 
Well then, which card would your interpreter call the worst?

By all my research the Tower would be the most feared card:- it means tumult, upheaval, revolt, unexpected change for the worst.

Death:- means the harvest, with hope of new planting.

Devil:- simply your own base nature.

The Tower, however, even if its reference is passion, only means one thing -- devastation.

Don't take my word for it, pursue further reading.

The Tower
Death

HTML5:- Mystery De-coded - WackyWhatever?


HTML5-Mystery De-coded.

The buzz-word, you may have heard off the tips of knowledgable tongues is the new Internet W3's "HTML5" standard - So what? I hear you say, it has been around for a while, and I haven't seen many changes......

That might be true, if you are not involved in programming, or are only a casual Internet surfer. However you, yes "You", Average Joe, are about to experience a few new, and possibly disconcerting, things if you don't understand what they are and how they work???

So, in order to clear-up a few mis-understandings you might end up with, here is a list of things you should know :-

  • The pop up dialog (Seen particularly on mobile sites) requesting permission to access your location:-
    No this is not big brother, and they are very unlikely to be keeping a list to find you with. 
    The HTML5 navigation.geolocation spec is a browser method to allow fast and accurate information that you might be interested in based on your location eg:-Restaurants in your area.  It is not something to be afraid of and only really works well on GPS enabled phones.

  • If you are a Gmail user you might have seen the pop-up requesting permission to use your local storage to store messages.  This is a direct, and new, benefit of HTML5, which allows you to store your own data in your own browser, rather than on a third party server.  The benefits  by way of safety, and privacy are obvious, and yes you can delete any data that you feel is taking up too much space at any time.
  • If you play Computer Games, or use web-based soft-ware you may be asked permission by the application to Cache data:- This simply means that "Heavy" media, such as images, audio or video will use your hard drive for storage making the application easier and faster to use. You may clear your cache at any time.
  • HTML5 together with its favored partner JavaScript are going to make using downloaded. Software much easier. In the past you would often need to download extra third party software to get applications to work, which made the whole process complicated and used a lot of room on your computer, besides only certain computers being able to serve the platform required.  Now a much more standard platform, which will be supported by all operating systems is slowly coming into force, and you will not need extra "helpers" like Flash, or Java to make:- for instance simple drawing software functional.

There is a lot more to it, but now a few mysteries should be de-coded for you.

Bram Stoker:- Things you did not know about the author of Dracula-WackyWhatever?

Bram Stoker:- Author of Dracula

  • What would he be doing today:- Embroiled in a bitter mud-slinging battle with Stephanie Meyer.( and a few other modern writers, probably).

  • Who would you most likely bump into at his dinner parties?:- Sir Authur Conan Doyle, Oscar Wilde,  Henry Irving, Hall Caine, William Ewart Gladstone, James Abbott McNeill Whistler, William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt..

  • Most defining character building fact:- Was bedridden for most of his pre-school years.( until he was seven-years-old.).

  • Where did he travel?:-He was very well travelled, having toured most of the known world, however, he did not venture into Eastern Europe.  I wonder why not??.

  • Worst social blunder:-Married his friends 'gal', the celebrated beauty Florence Balcombe Oscar Wildes Girl-friend..

  • What would he be doing for a living, apart from writing:- Running a state theater somewhere, probably in association with someone like Andrew Lloyd Webber..

  • Most famous work:-Dracula. Originally called the Un-Dead- The title was changed at the last minute before publication.
    Did he invent Vampires?:-No in 1872 Joseph Le Fanu wrote a short-story Carmilla that influenced Bram Stoker. "Although Carmilla is a lesser known and far shorter Gothic vampire story than the generally-considered master work of that genre, Dracula, the latter is heavily influenced by Le Fanu's short story.

    In the earliest manuscript of Dracula, dated 8 March 1890, the castle is set in Styria, although the setting was changed to Transylvania six days later. Stoker's posthumously published short story "Dracula's Guest", known as the deleted first chapter to Dracula, shows a more obvious and intact debt to "Carmilla": Both stories are told in the first person. Dracula expands on the idea of a first person account by creating a series of journal entries and logs of different persons and creating a plausible background story for them having been compiled. Stoker also indulges the air of mystery further than Le Fanu by allowing the characters to solve the enigma of the vampire along with the reader.

    The descriptions of Carmilla and the character of Lucy in Dracula are similar, and have become archetypes for the appearance of the waif-like victims and seducers in vampire stories as being tall, slender, languid, and with large eyes, full lips and soft voices. Both women also sleepwalk.

    Stoker's Dr. Abraham Van Helsing is a direct parallel to Le Fanu's vampire expert Baron Vordenburg: both characters used to investigate and catalyse actions in opposition to the vampire, and symbolically represent knowledge of the unknown and stability of mind in the onslaught of chaos and death.".

  • How did he die:- A series of strokes. However many suspected Syphilis..

life on Mars Wharever?


There is a face on Mars, well actually it's only a rock formation, that for years and years--literally-- has had a massive "I told you there was life on Mars," following. The operative word is 'was', since we all know that as of here and now, there is no recognizable life on the planet.


Speculation has been rife that ancient artists sculpted the face into the planet's rock surface in a feat of engineering reminiscent that of the pyramids in Egypt, here on earth--proof of extra terrestrial life.--Alas it seems, the edifice is merely a natural phenomena of massive humanoid likeness. A perverted natural joke. (p.s they have discovered carbon-like material in the rocks on Mars-suggesting that life once flourished there.)
