The Boys Behind Etoy page 2 3:00 a.m. 2.Feb.2000 PST continued But these days, Zai wears his dark hair in conservative, medium-short style, and looks much like, say, an architecture teacher, which is what his father is. Gramazio, the Italian in the group and the other key figure in the fight with eToys, wears his hair buzzed. He studied as an architect and brings to etoy a love both of design and conceptual thinking. He has a way of staring straight ahead when he speaks with a look of almost surreal alertness, like a character in a Japanese cartoon. Kubli, in his Buddy Holly glasses, was working at a law firm through much of the fight and did not put in as many 18-hour days as the others. He's the droll character in the group, who often appears lost, although he has hundreds of phone numbers memorized and never lacks for something to say -- once he's had a moment to ponder. Mono, the only one in the core group who was not involved from etoy's beginnings in 1994, came out of the punk scene and opts for an attention-getting haircut, shaved on the sides, exotic-plant look up top. He brings eagerness, an expertise with computers, and also a reverence for what Zai and Gramazio and Kubli have done over the years. Etoy may seem to have established a new identity as guardians of Internet freedom, destined now to hang out at the restored www.etoy.com site, helping others strike back. But that's just what etoy doesn't want. Unpredictability is one of their operating principles. << Back 2 of 3 Next >> Have a comment on this article? Send it Email this to a friend.
