| Personal background |
|---|
Although now in the Fredericksburg, Virginia area, for four years I lived in San Diego, California. In 1998, at forty-seven, I joined the retired crowd and am enjoying my retirement following 30 years in computer related industries. Beyond home improvements, I spent my time in 1999-2000 building a redwood strip kayak beginning with redwood boards and using a Kayak Building book.
My last few years in industry were spent as a Information Resource Manager with special assignments formulating novel approaches to solving critical management, organizational and systems problems. Many challenges required my developing unique expertise in Continuous Improvement, Six Sigma, Team Building and Parametric Modeling. I retired to reside in my wife's state of California and to act as her mentor while she followed her goal of achieving success at higher levels of management.
Although a really demanding opportunity might convince me to end my retirement, I am assisting as a volunteer in a local governmental role as an election official. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
1.) Extraterrestrial life exists, the real challenge is to detect it! Humans are often blinded because they can usually only detect that which their senses previously experienced. We must focus our energy on opening our minds to detect that which we previously have never experienced. Then, and only then, will we discover extraterrestrial life.
2.) Why focus on creating a beacon for others to find? If others could detect our beacon they can detect us without it! Focus instead on removing our self imposed filters which narrow our sensitivity and decrease our sensory range.
3.) One way to conserve the resources we use is to maximize the use of energy we are currently expending. Running SETI@home allows me to do just that and also to help extend our senses! I suggest new ways need to be explored which will allow the application of the vast unapplied resources which are currently going to waste. |
