Who am I? Posted by Tim O'Reilly, 1/10/00 at 5:19:01 PM. I'm the founder and CEO of O'Reilly & Associates, Inc. You can read my official bio at http://www.oreilly.com/oreilly/tim_bio.html. My unofficial bio is simpler. Born in Cork, Ireland, raised in San Francisco, went to Harvard and then lived in the Boston area for seventeen years, came back to California in 1989, and settled in Sebastopol, where we'd had a summer house when I was a kid. I'm married and have two kids, both of them perilously close to grown up, which is a frightening and exhilarating prospect. My greatest joy is being surprised by what comes next. Most of what I write about in this weblog is likely to be related to O'Reilly & Associates or computer industry topics, but I'll also share reactions to books, movies, music, or events. I do most of my writing in email, but when I send out something that I want to have archived on the web, I'll likely put it here. If you want to contact me directly, rather than responding to one of my articles, feel free to send mail to tim@oreilly.com. I can be reached by phone at 707-829-0515.
