Are you free?You’re permanently confined to a bed and you don’t know why. Are you free? Michael Kupietz It is I! Mike Kupietz, a reluctant scion of the postmodern age, is larger on the inside than the outside: perhaps not a composer, but a creator and arranger of sounds, nor a writer, but an avid writer-down; an occasional author of doggerel; an erstwhile urban hermit; and privately a man of great ardor. He is, if now resigned to never succeeding at those personal and artistic pursuits he holds most dear, unwavering in his determination to fail at them as entertainingly as possible. He is currently in what he calls the "red bathrobe period" of his life. If you're wondering what all this has to do with FileMaker development—you done taken the wrong turn, this river don't go to Aintry. Mike's professional services are on his Bay Area FileMaker Pro consulting website.
