SAHD with too much to do, and never doing it. Just got an email from seti saying they missed me (my computer). I'm back. I am taking a stab at 'edumacating' my self on many of the things I passed on in the last 48 or so years. Seti is one interest. ADHD is another. Alternative learning in so mauch as moving from linear learing to organic style learning. Because I'm not a Brainiologist, I'm trying out ideas preposed by others, including the crazy people (who may eventually be proven not crazy). I like to challenge and engage in debate (arguments with perspective to most of us).
A Boston Terrier is quite possibly the most intelligent creature in my house. She got me a tax refund last year.... well she actually fetched the envelope that it came in.
Three great kids, wonderful wife... that's what I'd like. Okay I got them already!
I have a nephew teaching at Memorial in Nefie Land. He's got more degrees that a thermometer... ba-boom! He one of these physical chemists, who waggled 2 separate rounds at the collider near Paris. Very proud of him. Gave him my Coleco Adam computer to do his university papers on. His interest in science keeps me inspired to keep current with all that is good in science.
I'm going on too much... time for a ritalin.

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
1. I run SETI@home because of something I read by Carl Sagan. Something about comparing the chances of getting a clear signal to two people each entering and sitting at opposite ends of a huge football stadium, each at random times, sit in different seats and briefly lighting a match. The chances of them doing at the same time so the can ech see it.... astronomical. But won't it be cool when they do see each other! I'll wait for that for as long as I can.
2. Worthwhile? Yes! It's doing the most difficult thing of all. Observing. By doing this we are learning, engaging new technology (space glasses... do they come the string thing for your neck?) and sharing the wealth of knowledge to all.
3. Safety first! Anyways wipe down keyboards, and never ever stick your hand into a quaser.
Oh, I know! The effect of new technology on Seti and how info gathered affects the creation of better tools. Popular Science style for us simple folk. |
