The concept of Questy has been used by me, Tom Peracchio, as an alter ego, to represent myself. I started using it in the early 1990's, pre-internet. As I began developing web sites, and an online identity, the colors green and purple, along with the Questy character, have created my own brand identity.
After much thought with what to do with the "World's of Questy" websites, as I move forward with the new Guru42 family of sites, I made the decision to bring back the original sites of Questy.com and Questy.net. with the original structure returned to the way it was originally set up.
In April of 1997, I started a web site called the Tao and Zen of Questy, which became Questy.net. I figured the Tao of Questy could be the philosophical side of me. The original 10 or so pages were a collection of poems and songs I had written, with some photos of my kids used to illustrate them.
The Zen of Questy was the business side of me. So a folder "zen" was created to hold the business section. As I began teaching technology as well during this time period, a learn folder was created as well where I began to store the outlines for technology lessons.
In 1998, I registered Questy.com to house the business and technology folders separately from my philosophical side. Originally called the Zen of Questy, the Business portal contains articles and commentaries on Capitalism and Communicating to assist people in using technology as a business tool. Many of the articles here are from work and research I had done for various freelance writing projects and business workshops. The Webmaster's Portal contain tutorials for learning web building, general technology and the Internet.
Other than the new front door to the site, everything else is still the original content. I do not plan to update these pages anymore, rather just keep them as they stand for now, as my personal museum.
