Beginning with SETI, I've been BOINCing since the early 90s, and think it is both a responsible and effective way to contribute to society. As a science fiction writer/fan, SETI has a certain appeal. As an engineer and scholar, working against ignorance, Luddite inclinations, and superstition are main activities of my life.

Peace, happiness, fulfillment of your talents be yours.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
SETI seems like a fools errand in many respects, but one can't win the Lotto without buying a ticket. The adds are agin us.
