These were indeed invented by Jef Raskin. Around 1971 I was attending UCSD where Jef taught. My art class was invited to explore a 3-d maze built by Jef out of these Blox, complete with tunnels you could crawl thru and Jef hiding inside! As it happened I was the one who discovered his hideout within the maze.
It's cool that his son Aza is commercializing these, best of luck Aza!
