I'm not sure where that came from; I sure don't live in Phoenix! Here's
mine then:
Mike Sellers
Occupation: Chief Creative Officer for The Big Network; Chief Alchemist of
Online Alchemy. Okay, both of those are real titles, but they boil down to
being a game and game-world designer.
Some previous occupations: creator of Meridian 59, user interface designer,
software engineer, animal fertility lab scientist, fantasy miniature
sculptor, movie extra (Apocalypse Now), and one-time circus roustabout.
Location: Pleasanton, California
Address: mike#online-alchemy,com
Interests and Personal stuff:
- Homeostatic mechanisms in world politics, ecologies, and economies
- Maslovian-inspired AI for NPCs and mobiles
- creation of strong communities online
- creating games that provide a truly immersive experience
- making online entertainment into a viable business
- being happily married with six kids :-)

"One of the most difficult tasks men can perform, however much others
may despise it, is the invention of good games. And it cannot be done
by men out of touch with their instinctive values." - Carl Jung

Online Alchemy Part of The Big Network
"...the state of the Web today is like 10 milliseconds after the
Big Bang. The laws of physics are in place, but no one knows exactly
how this universe will expand. We do know its going to be a very big
deal, for a long time."
-- John Doerr, of Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers (KPCB)
