Personal background
Hi, I'm Jack Arneson, I live in Santa Cruz just down the road from the SETI@home servers. I'm changing careers from Industrial Mechanics to my favorite hobbies, Digital Design and photography, due to a work related injury.
My goals are to utilize graphic and digital design techniques and apply them to advanced 3D modeling using Adobe After Effects and Premier and this add-on 3D program, Zakwerks. I'm interested in digital video, animation and 3D technology as well as digital still photography and would eventually like to work in the film industry.
Update: 08/27/05
No longer in the regular work force. Have discovered a way to make a better living through commercial real estate. I should have been doing this a long time ago. So everything above is back to being hobbies.
The photo of me was taken at my favorite camping lake, Woodward.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I believe ET life is already here. I won’t bore everyone with my theories but we, (concerned Americans), should demand that two areas be investigated. The underground complex at Dulce, AZ (which like Area 51, doesn't exist) and another complex in the San Luis Valley, CO. Info on these areas are on the Internet. Dulce is supposedly housing a variety of species, some docile, some hostile. Enough of that.
Should we seek their advanced technology assuming they offer?
Of course, if we trade fairly, we get advanced technology and they get…….?? I shudder to think what “they” get. What if they tire of our puny knowledge and decide our species is no longer capable of maintaining our planet?
Is it dangerous to announce ourselves? You betcha!
The beacon idea is probably the way to announce ourselves but I imagine there are risks of contacting an entire planet of advanced warriors who happen to be on the hunt for an underdeveloped, overweight society. Remember the Twilight Zone episode,"How To Serve Man"......?!
I run SETI to be an active participant in the search. I believe the project is a worthwhile, continuing endeavor to locate life. If we don’t look, we don’t see. It’s that simple.
