| Personal background |
|---|
Professionally, I’m the project manager for the Operating Room Information Systems at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation.
I live in Mentor-On-the-Lake, Ohio USA. I like putzing on my house. Do a little fishing when I can. Reading as time permits.
My life is a journey of discovery. Some times pleasant. Some times not. But it is all valuable to me. The same can be said for everyone I know. They all bring pleasure to my life. Some by coming. Some by going.

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
Do you know that old saying about keeping all of your eggs in one basket? Well that’s what mankind is doing. Keeping all of it’s eggs in one basket. In this case, a basket called Earth.
Mankind must colonize space. Not only because of the insanity we inflict upon ourselves, but the dangers from space. It wouldn’t take a very big meteor to blast us back to the Stone Age. And that’s not the worst case scenario. When mankind has colonized other planets, we would have a better chance of continuing as a civilization in the face of a global catastrophe
So what does all of this have to do with SETI? Simply this. The “powers that be†won’t authorize the expenditure of wealth and manpower to explore space unless they feel that there is something to be gained by it. (Our continued existence is not reason enough. They would rather play the odds that nothing will happen). The discovery of other life in the universe would be a huge motivating force for them to change their position.
I just hope that when we do move into space we do it peacefully.
