Profile: Loren Chang

Personal background
I've moved around quite a bit over the past couple of years, I was born at Stanford (where my father was a graduate student), and have lived in Taiwan, and southern California. My parents are both educators, which has probably contributed alot to my asperations and choices in life, from a young age I was taught to respect knowledge itself and those who pursued it. Currently, I am a second-year undergraduate student majoring in Physics at the University of California, Irvine. My interests include astronomy, astrophysics, math, computers, and RPN calculators.

My current rigs:
iMac G3 450MHz, 512MB RAM, Mac OS X.
iBook G3 500MHz, 384MB RAM, Mac OS X.
AMD Duron 900MHz, 256MB RAM, Red Hat Linux & Windows 2000.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Go outside on a clear night and look up at the stars in the sky, imagine for once that you're somewhere out there among those stars and that the Earth is nothing but, as Carl Sagan put it, a pale blue dot that stands out against the darkness, one among billions of other stars. I can't help but wonder whether or not someone somewhere else in the universe is looking up at the sky and wondering the same thing. If we could be the ones to bridge the gap across this great gulf, if we could be the ones to answer the age old question: are we alone? Then that would certainly be the greatest single accomplishment of all time.
