About Me, the Extended Version

Showing off the sweatshirt I won from EntrepreneurDad.com*

I am Mitchell Allen, and I think up stuff.

I continually tap into the charged atomic cloud of Conscious Creation.

Whether for business or pleasure, I always look for what’s not there – and attempt to create it.

This is actually an obsession fueled by memories of my childhood.

While my father instilled in me a love for word play, deep thinking and mental puzzles, my Mother taught me to appreciate the pursuit of knowledge. Our house was filled with books, magazines and games.

I immersed myself into fictional worlds and fantastical futures. In so doing, my mental pathways became primed for (read “addicted to”) ever newer realms to explore.

As traditional childhood indulgences, such as chemistry sets and hobbits, gave way to time-shared computers and Dungeons and Dragons, so too did my mind gravitate toward more sophisticated stimulations.

I began to write.

I learned to program in BASIC.

Chess, Pinochle and Bridge joined Scrabble as part of my gaming staples.

This constant search for stimulation has lead to what seems a logical conclusion: I now must create the worlds that I wish to explore. This blog is my literary outlet, where I may lay down futuristic laws, promote a philosophy of simplification or simply marvel at the changes in the way the web and other systems work.

Morpho Board is my software platform for board game design. I dream of community-crafted expeditions into strange environments and whimsical scenarios.

MorphoGreetings.com, my greeting card business gives me a chance to rethink the concepts of relationship marketing. Dare I hope to provide a marketing medium that actually works without the smoke and mirrors of self-serving statistics?

I will follow my ABC’s: Always Be Creating!

*I’ve created a Biographical category that will contain more details than I need on this About page.
Here is one:

During a forum posting contest on Entrepreneurdad.com,

I got the idea to write a riveting, eight-part mini-biography.

Justin Powell, the site’s owner, enjoyed the series and kindly linked to it from his home page.

Now, for the first time on the web, I present the complete series in one place.
