"Anything is possible at ZomboCom!" :laugh:
It still makes me LOL after all these years. Probably much better than Zango though.
Welcome to Zombo.com. This page welcomes us 13 times in two minutes. This is where the emphasis is put: welcoming us, making us feel at home, comfortable in the page. And this page is a comforting one. I'm not only talking about the music, which indeed is relaxing. Contrarily to sites like Youtube where there is so much stuff that you're always missing something, contrarily to sites like Google that serve as tool but can obviously never fulfill perfectly their task, contrarily to sites like Wikipedia in which the purpose of the site is impossible to achieve perfectly, on Zombo.com you cannot miss something, you cannot get frustrated at your not getting what you want, you cannot get unconfident about its completeness, its accuracy, its trustability. Zombo.com is a sure shot, because you cannot not get what you wanted when you decide to go to Zombo.com.
But what is there to get from going to Zombo.com? The page answers that itself. You can do anything at Zombo.com, and this is no joke since the only limit is yourself. All that you think you cannot do at Zombo.com is actually a desire you imposed on it and not a limitation of Zombo.com. You can do anything at all on Zombo.com until you start wanting something impossible. It would not be Zombo.com that would make you desire something it cannot bring to you: you know what Zombo.com is and wanting something it cannot offer is a limit of yours not of Zombo.com's.
This also is a particularity of Zombo.com: you know what it is and it tells it: "This is Zombo.com" and it is even written. When you are on this page, you are aware of the entire page, not only what you had the chance to look upon like on Youtube, you grasp the whole content. If you are on Youtube, all you know is that it offers videos and you might be deceived at not finding the one you wanted while being justified at wanting it. But if you expect something that you cannot get from Zombo.com, it is not its fault, it told you all it was, it offered itself to you and you asked for too much and the limitation and the fault, therefore, is yours. Anything is possible, all that you would label as impossible is your limit.
The unattainable is unknown at Zombo.com; it is all there at your hand, at your eye, and at your ear.
The infinite is possible at Zombo.com, does this contradict with what I just said? Not at all, the infinite being possible, does not mean that all is possible, it does not mean that all that is infinite is possible, and it does not mean that there is an infinite number of possible things either: it means that among the possible things at Zombo.com, at least one is infinite. Your very being on the page is potentially infinite, and therefore it is right that the infinite is possible at Zombo.com. But that is not the only infinite thing at Zombo.com, and again, the only limit is yourself, it is you that limit the choice of the things you perform on this site.
What is Zombo.com when no one is looking at it? It is a small flash animation in a server: basically a string of number, worse a magnetically encoded shape on a hard-drive, almost nothing, but when you open the page, it exists as Zombo.com. Zombo.com exists through you, as all websites do, but Zombo.com is different: it is not a media, it is not information. Zombo.com is a feeling, it is an experience. Even for someone who watches and does not get it, it is still an experience and a feeling. Youtube is an experience, but it is not a feeling; The kiwi! Animation is a feeling, but it is not an experience; Google is neither: it is no feeling and no experience, but a mere tool. Zombo.com is unique; it offers something that nothing else on the web offers: only real world can offer an experience and a feeling at once.
Zombo.com is a perfect solution of the absurdity to the world. The absurdity of the world is the fact that the means and the goals are incompatible. Zombo.com is all about not having these goals, all about not asking the obviously impossible. Zombo.com is all this page gives you, and if you ask for more, it's your guilt. This life is all the world gives you, and if you ask for more, it's your guilt.
Now, go back on Zombo.com, watch it with a different eye, and let the entire world's limit disappear so to do anything at all. Welcome to Zombo.com, welcome to the world.
