Personal background
I'm an American male, and a former aerospace engineer, working as a tooling engineer in the general manufacturing field.

I've been into SETI@home, off and on, since it first started back in 1999. I was one of the first to sign up. This is one of two accounts I have.

I presently have one of two of my personal computers totally dedicated to SETI, a duel Athlon (Barton Core) MP2600, on an MSI K7D-L m/b, which I run two clients on.

My hobbies are computers, from programming, to building and tweaking them, and motorcycles.

I've been into science fiction since childhood, which led to my education in engineering and my thoughts of the universe. I look at science fiction as not really being fiction, but rather that of a future forcast in science. We, as humans beings, will someday travel the universe, should we survive our childhood. The question is, will we survive that childhood?




Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I believe the existance of extraterrestrials to be extremely possible, but knowing how humans treat others who are different, it may not be wise to have full contact.

As humans, we have a bias towards those who are different, more intelligent, and certainly, more successful. With extraterrestrials, we are talking about people who will, I'm sure, be physically different, more intelligent, at least technologically, among other things, which will form a jealousness, if not an eventual hatred towards them.
