| Personal background |
|---|
I am a 23 year old Computer Science major attending Alabama A&M University. Currently I am working on completing my BS degree, but I intend to continue on and hopefully obtain my PhD. I am involved in various types of research here at the university, but currently I am focusing on datamining techniques.
My hobbies all seem to center around tinkering with computers and acquiring various electronic gadgets. I have gotten better about this, especially considering these hobbies have a tendency to consume massive amounts of capital, but I still do find myself often cutting my hands on the sharp edges of computer cases. I do like to go to the movies and listen to music and all that jazz. In fact, I’m currently looking for a CD of piobaireachd music. If you know what piobaireachd is I officially declare you a freak, like me.

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
| Life exists in so many variations on this one tiny world, that is a mere speck when compared to the universe as a whole. I refuse to believe that life does not exist beyond the confines of our small solar system, and that some of that life is intelligent enough to communicate with us in some way. It is true that given the size of the universe and the distance between the stars that it is unlikely we will actually discover an extraterrestrial signal, and if we did the signal would be from a race that is long since dead, but this is a worthwhile endeavor nonetheless. One aspect of science is obtaining knowledge for the sake of obtaining knowledge. SETI might never find that radio signal beamed from some distant alien civilization, but at the very least we have eliminated that as a possibility and can use the knowledge gained to formulate other hypothesizes about the possibility of us not being alone in this universe. |
