The Resident Geek of Cycline3. Programming, web design, artwork, music... Cycline3 is my digital extention. I am an avid mountain biker, audiophile and rocket flyer. I enjoy buckwheat pancakes with cane syrup and vacuum tubes beat transistors any day of the week.
I've worked in the PC industry, cooked chinese food for Jimmy Swaggart, slung spanners on import motor carriages, repaired high end electronics, chilled with Allen Ginsburg when I was 15, did design at a newspaper, won an international art competition in Japan when I was in 2nd grade and drank Absynthe in New Orleans in Pirates Alley with the coolest woman in the world. Among other things.
I cut my teeth on an Atari 1200XL programming in Atari Basic and Pascal. That was a wicked 1MHZ machine with 64K of RAM and NO HARD DRIVE. My first PC was an 8086 IBM with 640K RAM and a 10MB hard disc. I fell "in and outta love" a few times down the road and basically have had a rather fun run of the Earth so far. Let's hope it stays that way. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I believe that man should work together as one to explore the last frontier. Ignoring the vast reaches of space and the likelihood of life other than our own is a defiance of the human spirit.
We should be proactive in our search for other life forms. It represents the single most important discovery that could happen in the next 1000 years. Finding life in space would transform our ideas of religion and purpose - it would unite man on Earth.
I run Seti At Home because I believe this is the first step in making that discovery. It's proof that people all over the world want to search space. If our leaders can't see the success of this project and understand the will of the people, something is wrong.
I think Seti inspires us to dream and to question and to make those ideas reality even if it's as simple as flying model rockets with kids at your neighborhood school or just talking with someone else about the possibilities of life in space. That makes Seti a successful project already. |
