Mike Kirby Rebooted: March 2017

You know you are "getting old" when you spend more time reminiscing about the past than planning for the future.

Blog Purpose

As of 2008, I was a tenured associate professor of computer science at a well-respected university in the US, I was a husband to my wife of 13 years, and I was the father of three intelligent, spirited children.

Looking back, the high-point was an academic year-long sabbatical with my family living (and working) in London, UK.

In 2009, upon return home to the US, I was told I had cancer. Even if successfully put into remission, life would never be the same. It never is. I made it through chemotherapy and a tandem autologous stem cell transplant. I was, in essence, REBOOTED. Twice.

Rebooting changes one's perspective. I want to share what I have seen, what I have experienced, and what I have learned.

I will respond to selected emails send to mikekirby2009 [at] gmail.com
