Profile: Athena [TCC]

Personal background
I am the principal at Top Cat Computing. I am an avid cat lover. I enjoy walking, an occasional hike, white water rafting, target shooting, reading and watching my favorite television shows. I'm a Trekkie and enjoy Sci-Fi type shows.

I served in the United States Marine Corps Reserve from 1980-1990. When I am not working, I do some programming (ASP, VB, C/C++ ). I am an active member of the Seti@home project, and I am also a member of the Planetary Society and the National Space Society.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Do I believe if Extraterrestrial life exists? Of course I do. To be the lone form of life in a universe so vast, I feel it unlikely that we are the only ones out there. Now, when and how will we discover it? Those are questions that even the experts can't even predict. As our technology becomes more advanced, the chances of detecting life out there increases. The benefits of such a discovery would change the way we think about things, and hopefully we can learn from each other to advance civilization to a more peaceful existence, with the hope of eliminating decease, hunger, and disparity. The use of beacons should be used to transmit a message of peace, in all known languages, informing Extraterrestrial of our existence and how to communicate with and locate us. I run Seti@home to assist the search for Extraterrestrial life. If what I contribute helps the overall project to accomplish its goals, then the resources that I have allocated to Seti are well worth it. Let's just say I am a believer in what Seti is doing, and I will do what I can to assist in this project.
