I think of myself as a voyager. I love hiking, canoeing and all sorts of travel. I live in the centre of the North Americian Contenent.
Much like my name-sake I spent a few early years on a farm. I am very pleased to be even a minor part of history with the Seti@Home project.
To think that people across the globe might all help solve great mysteries by a few hours of cpu time a day is amazing. I think the application
could be taken a step futher what if a cure for a type of cancer, or aids could be accomplished, by sending out theorectical molecular models for
each user to work on literary bit by bit. This might be a simplification of the process to think we might be able to accomplish this but
I don't think it should be discounted immeadiately either.

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I am fairly optimistic, yes life exists out there in the universe beyond our planet.
When we might discover it...difficlult to say. I hope the discovery is during my lifetime.
Dangers arise from either our fear, or in our over-confidence.
I think more long-distant probes like Voyager 1 and 2 should be sent out in all directions
with exactily the same message sent on the original ships.
I run seti@home because it's important. I may not play an important role in my community
but any help I can give to increasing our scientific understanding of the universe I feel is
very important. The project is very important. I would be willing to run different programs,
helping analysis, even becoming more involved much like a lab technician would be in university
lab. I've always loved science, I simply had very little ability in applying it certainly not
enough to make it my career. Seti@home is the closest I've made it to making science my hobbie. |
