| Personal background |

9Greetings! I am a research assistant at NASA/Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, CA, the northern part of California's Silicon Valley. Here, I help my crew to study prospective memory and pilot error (ie why did that pilot forget to put down the landing gear?) by providing logistical support and physically running the experiments. I am 22, a graduating 2nd year senior at Santa Clara University (Women and Gender Studies - so far, the only one graduating with this degree, what does that tell you?), and am currently living with the love of my life Bruce Walthers. Stay tuned for the wedding date. :)
9Aside from desperately wanting to graduate and trying to find something to make into my career, I enjoy singing, dancing, and acting with various local groups (I will be auditioning for Opera San Jose next spring), embroidering, singing, and just plain having fun with my local SCAdians, and living alternate lives through my many computer games on my lovely little iMac. Yes, I'm a Mac person, so sue me. If my PC boyfriend can live with it, so can you. And I am also a practicing Wiccan, which is LOADS of fun. Again, if my atheist boyfreind can live with it, SO CAN YOU.
9Love each other, people - or at least leave each other alone. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
Does ET life exist: Hell yes! If it doesn't, I'll be mondo PO'd. The probablities that there is life is just way too great. And besides, just because we haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. That's a lesson our humble little stardust selves really ought to learn. When will we discover it? Beats me. Although, the rate of technological advancement is increasing exponentially, so I would say within the next 3 generations. Benefits: finally put down all those religious fanatics saying that we're it, so that our species might actually learn something for a change. Dangers: can we say "Independence Day"?
Transmitting: Of course. Since we never will learn the aforementioned lesson on our own, this is the best way to go about things so that we might one day. Info: I think we should send way more varied information than we have so far. I look at the one we sent in, what, the 70's? and it's two thin white people. Moron, your bus is leaving; we don't all look like that.
Why I run SETI@home: 'Cause it's cool, and it makes a much nicer screen saver than flying toast. And it's useful - I'm already helping the space mission along at work; why not do it at home? |
