What It Is: Start Here—What is the General Reference Library section?

I have always been a dedicated archiver and curator of interesting information: trivia, facts, tidbits, how-tos, items of possible future interest. In the internet age, some of this it makes sense to keep as a public archive: IT troubleshooting information, links and general interest info I want to share with other people, etc.

However, since this site is intended primarily as my creative showcase, this presented me with a conundrum. There are a lot of things I want to share online for various reasons, but which aren't my creative output. And it seemed silly to set up a whole separate website for that.

The Man Behind The Curtain: Bio — About Mike Kupietz

It is I! About Mike Kupietz

A year of this site, my baby, my pride and joy, ranking on page 11 of Google search results for my own name has convinced me it's time to do a little search engine optimization, so here's some brief biographical information about artist and technologist Michael Kupietz to tip off the brilliant algorithms out there as to who and what this site just might be about (including awkward third-person references to please Google's SEO.)

Mike Kupietz is an avid musician, artist, and by day a software engineer, much of which is linked to on my Other Sites section at bottom.
