| Personal background |
|---|
Currently I'm working as a physician in Vancouver, BC. Aside from my interest in SETI, I like to play with computers, guns and other technologic toys. When I saw 2001 in 1968 I was looking forward to taking a lunar holiday around now, but it looks like I'll have to wait a bit longer for this. Considering that one of my interests also happens to be life extension techniques, I still might have a chance of walking on the moon or Mars.
Describing yourself in 2000 characters sucks, but I do have a web page which can be reached at either http://www.fingertapping.com/, or http://64.180.107.245/default.html which gives more details about me. The latter URL changes periodically as my ADSL IP address changes, but RSN, when I find my password to allow me to modify the web page at fingertapping.com, I'll put in a link to my current detailed web page IP address. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I believe extraterrestial life exists, but whether another civilization exists close enough to Earth to be detected, or whether we would be aware that we've contacted an alien civilization are questions that may never be answered. That said, I think it's worthwhile trying and seti@home represents a very elegant means of potentially solving this problem.
I've been expecting alien contact for years now, so when it happens I won't be surprised. At one time I thought that alien contact would transform my life, but now I'm not so sure. Consider an individual with a laptop with a radio satellite phone washing up on an island with a stone-age civilization. The natives of this island can marvel at the technology, but it is useless to them if they can't fix it. That's the type of alien contact scenario I worry about, when I have time to worry which is rarely.
