About Where Did My Brain Go?
Where Did My Brain Go? is a dynamic blog. It has evolved with me over the past 18 years.
It started as a place to discuss traumatic brain injuries. But it evolved into a space where I can write about anything.

Why Start a Blog?
A blog is more than a journal. My blog is a digital time capsule.
Here are some highlights from my blog that show its versatility. These are also reasons for you to start blogging:
Remembering Loved Ones
On my blog, people who died are alive. Posts like those about:
Where Did My Brain Go? keeps their stories alive.
Tackling Social Issues
Blogging has also allowed me to explore meaningful topics like public safety and justice. For example:
- Perverts for Polanski exposes Hollywood hypocrisy about Roman Polanski’s crimes.
- How Should America Protect Social Workers? honors the social workers who risk their lives for others, inspired by the tragic murder of Lara Sobel.
- Red Light Cameras in Florida explains the evil impact of red light cameras, and who brought them to Florida.

About Mitchell D. Miller
Mitchell D. Miller is a programmer, writer, and traumatic brain injury survivor living in Florida. In 1986, a pickup truck bent his leg backward, ripped up his diaphragm, broke his jaw and left him in a coma for five days. He only needed a few days in hospitals. But he needed nine years to get a diagnosis because his physician wife checked him out of two hospitals before anyone examined his head.
His memoir Where Did My Brain Go? reveals how he escaped the “disability trap” to become Lead Developer at a tech startup. These days, Mitchell prefers riding his bicycle around Tampa Bay to debugging code. He is working on his next book while enjoying Florida’s endless summer.
