Personal background
I grew up in southern Michigan. Graduated High School and joined the Air Force.
I loaded weapons and worked on the armament systems on the F-15.
The Air Force sent me to such wonderful locations such as Florida, Arizona,
And Alaska (twice.) I left the AF due to medical problems and now do accounting
for a pharmacy in Alaska.
I enjoy photography and playing on the computer. Someday I hope to have my own
web site. I know, an exciting goal. I'd like to do programming in something
besides Basic too.
I am married and we have four kids. The last two are adopted.
What a fun process that is!!!
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Statistically, I think life exists on other planets. It's hard to believe that
out of all these planets that we are the only life forms that exist!
We will probably discover life on another planet by accident or when we least
expect it. Many great discoveries are done in this fashion.
We have a lot to gain if we find friendly life forms. My concern is finding
life forms that want to take over our planet. How can we tell if they are
truly friendly?
I'm not sure if it will help if we send a beacon for others. Which direction
do we aim it? What frequency? And who will pay for it?
I run seti@home to help people find life on other planets and for our
scientists to gain more knowledge about our universe.
Good luck to all that participate!!!

Suggestions?
Prizes for participants. Something donated by our wonderful sponsors.
(preferably faster cpu's to process data faster!)
I'm no computer expert so if this sounds stupid you know why...
but is there a way to use the processing power in these powerful video
cards to analyze the data for seti@home?
