Hello! My name is Joseph Pally, and welcome to the world of Z.
It is no surprise that we thought of the letter Z while envisioning a world unchained from closed platforms, and pliable for free thought. Z, is the final letter, and is a bold statement of formulating the most basic ink we all need - the ink in think!
About Me
As a young child, I was fascinated by the cartoons of Mandrake the Magician. Theron, headmaster of the College of Magic (Collegium Magikos , which by the way is in the Himalayas!), powered Mandrake's powers. Theron, was hundreds of years old already then, and he kept alive by his Mind Crystal, and protected them.
The people at the College of Magic, worshipped crystal cubes, given by the ancient Gods to the college as a gift. Theron, the master, discovered the secret of the cubes more than two hundred years ago, believed that the reason he had reached such an old age of 300+ was the waves that emanated out of the cubes, which he received while meditating in front of them. As specified in Clay Camel's Xanadu, the cubes "amplified and transmitted thoughts around the earth , (or even the stars)", and had infinite power to light the earth or to split the earth into pieces. Mandrake lived at his home in Xanadu, and the cubes were the way Theron could keep in touch from the College of Magic in the Himalayas. And according to legend, the cubes had "terrifying power and it would be a disaster if they fall in the hands of the wrong people", and those who possess it would be the master of the earth, and many wanted to possess those incredible cubes.
These cubes of the College of Magic had a profound influence on me since then.
Since the first day I saw a browser in 1993, I had a idea to make things out of such cubes with immense power. A dream distilled into an idea a few years ago, to organize all of the information into a world that was composed of cubes, each as powerful as a living cell. It has taken us years since we launched ZCubes in 2006, to make these crystal cubes form into streams and grids and cells in matrices.
The transition from a few cubes to many was triggered by another fascinating set of cubes, called the Rubik's cube. It was a 3-D combination puzzle, invented in 1974 by a Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Ernő Rubik, which is also considered to be the world's best-selling toy.
The Rubik's cube, which I could solve under a minute then, showed me the fascinating combinations they could make all converging into a beautiful and elegant solution.
ZCubes is a distillation of thought of magicians, mathematicians, scientists, over centuries, all packed into a platform that spreads like a spider's web over the entire internet. I welcome you to enter the world of Z.
