| Personal background |
|---|
I am a database analyst/programmer working for an environmental engineering firm in the North Bay area. I'm 45 years old and single.
I read a lot, mostly scifi/fantasy, but with a lot of factual history and classic literature thrown into the mix. I play games of all kinds: card games (bridge, hearts, rummy, pinochle, etc.), board games (most of the Avalon Hill games, Boardwalk, Empire of Rome, etc.), RPGs (AD&D, ICE, and others), and a whole mess of computer games.
I also enjoy foreign travel and languages. I speak passable Spanish and Japanese, and enough German to get by with. Japanese is the one I'm currently studying. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I think that there is a good chance that life does exist someplace out there. But I also think that the chances that we will discover it with this SETI@home project are pretty small, unless it turns out that the galaxy is just teeming with life. Its a pretty big place, and the bandwidth we're searching is not very broad; so even if there are are intelligent, technological races out there the odds that we'll see their transmissions in this seach is not very high. However, the benefits that can be had from extraterrestrial contact are high enough that this low-budget approach is still a worthwhile endeavor.
