Personal background
Hello,

I'm an amateur scientist and small business owner, and knowledge of the universe and it's inhabitants has been forever my passion. I have encouraged my family to participate in the Seti@Home project since I was introduced to it by a friend named Cliff (just in case he doesn't want his full name known, I'm not revealing it, however please tell me, Cliff, if you want to be credited with starting me on this project). I created a team for my family, and bullied my father into running classic Seti on his computer. He eventually deleted it because he didn't know how to configure it to run in the background, and it slowed down his machine. I have chugged away at the project, and was delighted to discover that there has been a new incarnation with the BOINC implementation, so I have that installed on both home and work computers, now both plugging away at computation for the benefit of all of humanity and hopefully our new correspondents in the far reaches of the galaxy.

I'm thrilled that you're also participating in this project, and I encourage you to join my team, Brogowski Family, The, so that we can have a big party as we begin to process more and more data much more quickly. Um, that's it, there's my profile.

Dan.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I run Seti@Home because I have a firm belief that there are others in our galaxy, likely many other cultures and peoples, and there will be a time when communication between the stars will not be a matter of years in each direction, and I further believe that all of humankind will benefit from any advances made by corresponding with others in this way. In addition, I would like to shut up the religious fundamentalists who think that God is so limited that he would only create one intelligent species to populate this vast universe of worlds and environments. We have seen every boundary set by close-minded men shattered, with evidence of bacteriological life on other bodies than earth, and evidence, too of liquid water at one time on Mars, there is bound to be a steady progression of insight into our universe that I wish to at least aid in bringing about, if not actually make myself (I don't have the spare time, just the spare CPU cycles).

I'm proud to be associated with a project of this magnitude and scope, and all that I could possibly recommend for improving the project is a broadening of the search to many other telescopes, and perhaps ways of analyzing visual spectrum recordings as well for proof of orbiting bodies around stars, which would make those bodies the likely targets for future listenings from the radio telescope.

Dan.
