| Personal background |
|---|
I'm 31 years old, and have been working as a video game designer for the past 2 and a half years here in England. I met my beautiful girlfriend after we were email penpals for a while, and eventually she flew over here from Boston so we could be together.
Originally from Nottingham, I moved with my job to Leamington Spa in Warwickshire, a lovely part of the country (if a little expensive!). I'm a nut about 'Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy', Monty Python, and Real Ale.
A nerd when I was a kid, a geek now I'm older. What the heck. =)
Congratulations to SETI@HOME, best of luck to everyone involved, and keep listening for *that signal* folks.

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I think it's ignorant to assume we're alone. Although no solid statements on the frequency of life in the universe can be made, one thing's for certain; if we don't look for it, we won't find it. And if all the possible lifeforms out there think that, then, well...it's gonna be lonely.
Like it or not, we've been transmitting 'Beacons' for a long time. If 'they' are listening, they'll hear us eventually. Best to find out as soon as we can, and bring the world around to the possibility we're not the only ones in the universe. I'm not religious at all really, but I think the impact of the discovery of life elsewhere in the universe would have huge ramifications on many religions around the world.
I run SETI because it's such an easy thing to do, takes no time at all, and yet could be of profound historical and cultural importance. Some people will scoff at the idea of the project, there'll always be sceptics. But that shouldn't put people off from taking part. It's like the lottery. You don't expect to win, but you play anyway. Why?
Because maybe, just maybe...... |
