Currently I am a 20 year old Computer Science Student at a local community college planning on transferring this August to a 4 year Engineering University where I plan on double majoring in Computer Science and Computer Engineering. One of the most interesting things that I have recently done is take an entire semester off from college to go to Australia for 22 days. During that trip in 1999, 15 of us took part in the World Solar Challenge racing a Solar Powered Vehicle that we built while in highschool from Darwin to Adelaid in just over 9 days. I still maintain the Winston Science and Winston Solar Challenge web pages in my spare time.

Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Extraterrestrial Life Does Exist. We may never discover it, but I think we should keep trying.

Humans should probably send a beacon, and we have been when you consider the Television and Radio signals which we have been using for many years.

I run SETI@Home because 1) it is fun, 2) it's good science, 3) we might actually find Extraterrestrials, and 4) what else would I do with all these computers?
