I am a Safety and Health professional in the Midwest. When not working during the day I run a business from my home and enjoy my hobbies. I build sci-fi props, build scale models of automobiles and sketch/draw with various media.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I run SETI@home to donate my unused CPU cycles to a worthwhile cause. I don't think we are likely to intercept an alien greeting, because we don't know for sure that radio is the band of the electromagnetic spectrum we should be listening for. Regardless, the data we collect and analyze is still useful.
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
