| Personal background |
|---|
| I'm a 48 years young Florida Native who has lived literally in the four corners of the US, as well as the middle. (Appropriately, the Four Corners area of New Mexico.) I'm a semi-retired professional tinkerer, whose last real job was as a bio-medical engineer. The computer I'm running SETI@Home on is a midi music studio that I built from the chassis up. My primary Hobby is to enjoy LIFE and when I'm not tinkering I love the outdoors (especially scuba diving), obviously music, and Reading. I will read most anything. You never know if it's worth while unless you read it yourself. My favorite reading material is what I refer to as reality science fiction. You know, like Jules Verne wrote. Stories that at the time were fantasy but in the future became reality. I also like to look up into the night sky and WONDER! I have traveled some around THIS world, I WONDER about the others! |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

| Are there extraterrestrial's? Does a tree falling in the woods make a sound if no ones there to here it? Of course! The question is, in the entire Cosmos has a spieces of intelligent life evolved as far or farther than we have, so that they might be looking for us like were looking for them? I don't believe we have had a Close Encounter of the Second or Third Kind Yet. I have an extensive backround in High speed and High altitude photograpghy. We can take pictures of atoms and golfballs from outer space. We can't take a sharp focused picture of E.T. or a UFO! What's up with that? I know WE ARE NOT ALONE. I just hope we make contact in my lifetime. If the only benefit is to Find Out, it would be enough. I have never been prone to the Chicken Little syndrome, If we don't make contact we will never know what the benefits or dangers are. A couple of generations ago we tried to become an isolationist country. I don't think we would be were we are today if that had happened. Programs like SETI and HUBBLE and messages like Voyager are headed in the right direction. We need more! I've meant to run SETI@Home for a while now but never got around to it. I'm glad I finally stopped tinkering long enough to install the program. If I come up with any suggestions in the future I'll be sure to pass them along. For now I'll continue to look at the Pretty Colors as the SETI@Home program runs and continue to look up in the sky and WONDER....WHEN! |
