Personal background
G'day all! I'm from the inner city of Sydney, Australia. Before that, I, like the rest of you, originally came from the amino acids and proteins resulting from the complex inner machinations of star-stuff. So, maybe we look to the stars 'cos we're all a little homesick.
I'm 44 solar-circumferences chronologically, and work for the government. Trust me. My occupation entails doing as little as possible, while appearing as awake as possible. Therefore, I guess you could say I'm just paid appearance money to look good.
My hobbies are travel, the internet, SETI@home, and my partner, Kimberley. She's the one who intrinsically 'lives' @ SETI@home, ignoring our physical abode in the interim! We are the parents of Toby, a two-year-old Red Kelpie, whose chief astronomical pursuit (as is my own) is to howl at the moon.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
To quote a certain astronomer, it would be an 'awful waste of space' if extraterrestrial life DIDN'T exist. The proof is somewhere within the realms of the electromagnetic spectrum, but I don't think we're even posing the right questions. The Drake Equation should be motivation enough for all PC-users to install SETI-- it's just ignorance and complacency that prevents everyone from doing so.
We may never discover extraterrestrial life, or we ourselves may well BE the extraterrestrials in generations to come. After all, we were the original exo-terrestrials.
We run SETI@home so that should our PC find ET, we'll become famous, win the Nobel Prize for Physics, and get to appear on "Jerry Springer".
