| Personal background |
|---|
I am dedicated to higher moral attitudes like "do unto others" etc., and communication with others. SETI seems to fit with my outlook. I seem to be forever being educated in something new, but mostly aimed at communication of some sort.
Although I work in the IT industry, I have gravitated to the support area where I can help others solve problems. I am fortunate that I have the opportunity to do research and development to further the chance of making our environment a better place.
I was born in New Zealand and moved to Australia in '87 (at the age of 32) and started study at Monash University in '96. My education will never end, if I get my way.
I have 3 exception children and an amazing wife, all of who endulge me to the utmost.

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
Only a small mind would be sure that there isn't some kind of ETL out there. We can see by looking up at the sky at night how immense "our" universe is, so it doesn't seem possible that there isn't another place where evolution hasn't reached a time where life is more that basic vegetable or animal. Unfortunately the timing is critical. It is possible that any signal that is received will be from an intelligent source that has since expired. Any benefits of contact with ETL will be of benefit in our evolution in some way, with the biggest danger to the human race being our ability to missuse it.
A beacon is a good idea, but it should only be a beacon for others to see that there is someone looking, not necessarily to make contact.
I run SETI@home to make it more possible for us to find a direction to extend ourselves in the future and go beyond the limits we have set for ourselves. I believe that this can't be achieved without an effort that involves an enormous combined effort. |
