Personal background
Born in Nuremnurg, Germany in 1972 as an army brat. After serving 20 years as brat status I retired, with no benifits. I was born again as a civilian. I think the only job I can stay true to is that of a jack of trades. I have had 20 paying jobs in 11 years, and have found I like working for me the best. I have built web pages, small servers and networks. I like building and rebuilding computers. Right now I have been contracted to rebuild 20 clients and the network that supports it for a small bookstore in Albuquerque, NM.
Free time is easy here, for within an hour of any direction from my home I am in the mountains with some of the quietest and darkest spaces in the world. I am the dirt road traveler, looking for unfilitered starlight for my bed.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Sure I believe in ET. How can something so vast, that has created humanity, not have spawned intelligence and life elsewhere? Voyageur is one of the first ambassadors to the universe. SETI is one of the best tools devised to listen for a reply. The truest benefit for finding a sign of intelligence out there is that we know that we are not alone in a universe that is mostly defined by notoriously big numbers and inconcievable distances. I have little fear of what the universe holds, I have fear for what humanity has in store for itself and the universe. My most immediate reason for running SETI is that it is open to the world and millions can help decipher the sounds of space. SETI has created a tool which we can all play apart. This program is ingenious and I would hope to see other huge data projects follow your lead.
