I am Erik Shank. I have two main hobbies: building computers and 5-string banjos.
Others include collecting Southern Pacific Daylight items, reading and photography. I have played Bluegrass music for about 40 years.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I run SETI@home because I don't think we are alone in the universe and I would like to find out before I die.
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
