Personal background
And on September 16, 1978 at 12:24 PM for me, there was light. According to eyewitnesses, most of whom are related to me and feel a familial obligation to soften the truth, I was a beautiful baby. People still call me that, except that they (a) aren't related to me and (b) can usually be found hanging off unfinished skyscrapers wearing flannels and jeans. Such is life.



Aw, screw it. I went to school, graduated, and grew up—lather, rinse, repeat.



Go, Team Lamb Chop (and The Holy Axe-Wielding Nobility), go!
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1. If extraterrestrial life exists, why does Hollywood think we can wipe it out with a binary virus created on a Macintosh? (See "Independence Day" for background information.) So my answer to the question is yes, I think that E.T. is out there somewhere, but he isn't touching us with a ten-(billion)-foot pole. If anything, it's probably closer to Douglas Adams' idea of alien jokers who come around visiting hicks and kickers just to get a rise out of us humans.



2. Sure, let's put up some sort of interspace homing device. But whatever you do, don't broadcast "Survivor" reruns.



3. I run SETI to help out Team Lamb Chop. That and to justify all hardware upgrades.
