What is the meaning of Zedomax?

Zedomax is just a name Max created when he was 9 years old. (about 20+ years ago…)

Although Zedomax has been in hibernation for about 20+ years of Max’s life, the name has come back to haunt him as a dot com blog.

History of Zedomax?

Here’s the original logo of Zedomax Max created when he was 9 years old, a “ghost” company he made in his bedroom as a 4th grader in elementary school:

(Original logo of Zedomax Max drew at age 9 in 1989.)

Max has kept this logo for over 20 years, waiting until the day it would come back as this blog you see now.

Ironically, Max made money as a 9 year old selling Cable Descrambler Circuits on Prodigy.  (before the internet)  Perhaps, that’s how Max got the start for this blog, which is a free information portal for DIYs and HOWTO articles.

Max is a smartphone addict, owns five over five (can’t remember anymore but having several smartphones make u smart) smartphones, a Samsung Vibrant,  HTC Evo 4G, Droid Incredible, Nexus One, Droid 2, T-Mobile G2,  and a Palm Pre; you can also check out his Samsung Vibrant Hacks blog, HTC Evo Hacks blog,  Palm Pre Hacks blog and Nexus One Hacks blog.

If you want to learn what kind of web server this site runs on (Nginx), you can also check out Web Server Hacks blog here.

Thanks Phil!

Max thanks Phillip Torrone at Makezine for all the inspiration and cool stuff Phil provided through his Make Blog.

If it wasn’t for Phil, Max would have never have started blogging, know about blogs, and realize that blogs are cool. Anyway, you gotta check out the Make blog or at least buy the cool magazines they sell.

(Here’s Garrett, Phil, and Max hangin’ out at 2007 Maker Faire in San Mateo.)
