Inspired by the tarot, which I have studied for well over a decade. the three of disks represents work. It can be finding a job, but at its heart points to sacred work - work that gives us real joy, inspires us, and gives back to the world. The work we were born to do.
(Life Cycle)
A floppy disk was named due to its ability to flop as a person waves it in their hand (As to why this is a good idea is another topic of discussion.) People needed a portable device which could store information and be passed around to one another with ease.
1. Introduction
The first design, invented by IBM in the late 1960s and used in the early 1970s was first a read-only then later became read-write format. They were mostly used by colleges, universities, private businesses, and governments. The size was 8 inches.
2. Growth
As personal computers started to increase in popularity in the late 70s, demand grew for storing information and playing games. The size changes to 5 1/4 inches and stores at its highest 1.2 MB.
3. Maturity
They become encased in a rigid form and drop in size to 3 1/2 inches. Despite their small size, they were considered more reliable in keep the information in tact. They also stored at their highest 1.44MB of data.
4. Decline
As USB connector started to become popular on PCs and Macs after 1998, this allow external hard drives and flash drives to become. These devices along with email and other storage options became more reliable than floppy disks.

Machinery dominates this abstract cityscape by Ferdinand Léger. Giant, gyrating disks and shafts bisect the scene vertically. To the left, figures wearing helmets represent laborers, who seem to merge with the machinery.
This 1913 painting shows Léger reacting to early Cubism. George Braque and Pablo Picasso employed fragmentation to depict three-dimensional space in a two-dimensional painting. Léger expanded upon the idea of fragmentation to create compositions divided by dynamic forces and static counter-forces, and Léger uses vibrant color unlike the earth-toned early Cubist paintings.
Léger idealized the relationship between man and machine. The anonymous figures in The Disks stand for mechanical workers, engineers, and designers thriving in a modern world of machines. Léger gave these workers the name Homo faber, or Man the Maker. Homo faber became a protagonist in the mechanistic universe of Léger’s imagination. He saw mankind’s dramatic struggle to master machinery as an affirmation of the human will.
This is Jungle Disk, a new(ish) backup solution that stores your files on Amazon's S3 network. Once on the S3 network your files are copied multiple times across multiple data centres, minimising the risk of ever losing that data.
Here I'm using their 2.02 Mac version for an initial import of my Documents folder. On the desktop underneath by USB-attached Seagate drive I have the S3 service available as a normal hard drive labeled JungleDisk.
It's inexpensive and reasonably quick and easy.
Disk Brooch
Date:
7th–8th century
Geography:
Made in northern France or western Germany
Culture:
Frankish
The dress of Frankish women generally consisted of a tunic, cinched by a belt from which hung an array of pendants. A wrap or cloak went over the tunic. Shoes and hosiery, fastened with buckles, covered the legs. Earrings, necklaces, and hairpins completed the ensemble.
Aspects of this dress changed from the 300s to the 600s, and brooches in particular convey changes in taste. From the 300s to the 500s, pairs of small brooches, in an array of inventive shapes, held the wrap in place. By the 600s, a single large disc brooch, usually elaborately decorated, served the same function. No other piece of jewelry is more characteristic of Frankish dress than the brooch, and no other better demonstrates the virtuosity of Frankish metalworkers.
Even girl geeks deserve a personalized floppy. This one is for Janina. This is a phone pic of it in progress, but I have since finished it off.
