Personal background
I'm a physics student at Oregon State University, and I love all things science. I really wish there were more people here down with doing some mad science type experiments. I pretty much spend all my time studying or daydreaming, but sometimes I find time for some Unreal Tournament (attbi has horrible service here in Corvallis!!! 120 pings to my gateway?!? bleh) and playing air guitar and some drums on my knees.

I also like reading, my favorites are Henry Miller, John Steinbeck, and then Dostoevsky and Goethe during the gloomy gray winters here. Also I think I've read every worthwhile science fiction book on the market.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I think I don't have enough evidence to decide either way if E.T. life exists. I'd hate to think we're all alone here though... The probability is favorable for life existing somewhere, but not sure if they have or can generate a signal we can detect even if so.

I think SETI is a great idea, both scientifically and from a distributed computing standpoint.

My system for anyone curious: AMD XP2100 , Asus A7N8X, 512 MB PC2700 DDR, about 5 hours for each data unit when I'm not staring at the graphics or leaving the screensaver on without screen blanking.
