Profile: Dave Wright

Personal background
My name is Dave. I'm married, have 2 children, & enjoy reading. John McEnroe is my hero, The Doors are my favorite musical act, & Apocalypse Now is my favorite movie. I smoke, drink & eat fatty foods, & I think Eminem is a genius. I also drive too fast & rarely use my turn signals.




Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Do I think extraterrestrial life exists? I certainly don't deny that it does. But w/out verifiable proof, I guess we're left to simply ponder the possibilities & run really cool screen savers until the truth is known.

If we were to send a signal for others to find, said signal should contain an encrypted recording of Frank Sinatra singing New York, New York - that way the extraterrestrial civiliztion who finds the signal will know we're a cool planet & won't blow the crap out of us w/lasers.

I run the Seti@home program because when guests see it running they immediately ask me what it is & I tell them I'm monitoring U.S. sattelite intelligence data for the CIA. Then they get scared & leave.

No, honestly, I run the program just to do my part in the search for extraterrestrial life. As the poster says, "I Want To Believe."

The Seti@home project is brilliant.
