Urban Oracle v0.2
Medium: RPi, network hacking, divination, web UI/UX

Description
Untether the umbilical - Visit the Urban Oracle, for just a moment. Or as long as you like. Be present, no remote access here. Urban Oracle is not your papa’s information nodule. Zhe is discrete. The Loardz and Laddeez don’t want you to leave . But why not sojourn… a quiet moment to reflect. Orchard Loardz, Numerous Numeral Laddeez, Counts of Countenances, and all those other Juking Dukes will take you back - (don’t) despair they kneeaad you after all.

Take your time... Formulate your questions… and ask. All questions must take the form of a URL, for Universal Resources must be Located. Peh is Urbane and particular. Use your wurdz, string them together, no spaces of course (gaps leave room for daemons, don’t break the circle). End it with a magic word. Seeking your fortune? .biz | Community concerns? .org | Casting wide? .net | media mogul? .tv | Everything is permitted? .com...

Now is time to DIVINE ((((oracle-listening)))
# Urban Oracle is a wifi hotspot, a sacred shrine of divination.
# A contemplation application. hacked together via network pranks, config
# tweaks and sudo shenanigans.
