I was pleased as punch to be included in Brad King's article about BOINC. The quote is a bit dis-jointed, but, hey, it's journalism.

The reason he picked little old me is because I went after the Chicago Trib guy who wrote up Cosmology @home and never ever mentioned BOINC. ECT repeated to article and I went after him and them also.

This is what I do. I go after media to give BOINC, WCG, all of us, some space, some print, some photo's, whatever, to help spread the word.

So, he picked me because I am loud and proud. I told him that there were many more worthy folks with whom he should speak,; but it was just me and Dave Anderson.

So, when you see an opening, get in there and make a pitch for BOINC and WCG. Think what would happen if we could go up from 1 milion adherents to two or three million. We would still be a drop in the ocean but we could do so much.
