Profile: IBelieve

Personal background
I think to think of myself as a unique kind of guy. I'm a computer geek, dedicated 110% to computers until I die, but I also love the outdoors. I spend most of my time either upgrading, tweaking, and playing with my computer, or going outdoors and hiking, biking, and backpacking. The term I've coined to describe my unique tastes is Hybridgeek since I'm equally a computer geek and an outdoors geek (if such a definition exists).
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Extraterrestrial life does exist. It must. I agree with the argument people at SETI probably recieve all the time "The universe is just too damn big and humans are too damn stupid to be the only intelligent life in the universe." Humans will probably discover intelligent alien life in a distant century or millennium when we have figured out light speed travel and are going on our first deep space adventure, like Star Trek (hey, it could happen, right?). I think that meeting intelligent alien life would be the greatest accomplishment mankind will have ever achieved, but I don't think it will come without its price. Everyday here on Earth we see the infinite amount of choices that can be made, mostly bad, and so one MUST assume that with so many chances for something bad to happen on Earth, there are an infinite more number of chances for bad things, like good things, to happen in space, especially in first contact with intelligent alien life. The best thing I think mankind can do right now is continuously transmit a beacon of good faith, to whoever might be out in the universe, and keep supporting great research like SETI to hopefully one day encounter intelligent life that comes in hope of peace.
