| Personal background |
|---|
| I travel back and forth between the US and Azerbaijan, where I am a journalist for ISN Security Watch, a web publication run by the Swiss government. The url is http://www.isn.ethz.ch/. During late 2005, I covered the controversial parliamentary elections in Azerbaijan, and I will return in early 2006. (Am taking a short break in the US for the holidays.) I'm also a Short-Term Observer for the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe for whom I serve as an international election monitor. And I am a sometimes-playwright; my one-act comedy can be ordered through the One-Act Play Depot on the web at http://www.oneactplays.net/, as well as at Amazon.com (it's cheaper at the One-Act Play Depot). |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
| SETI@home is one of the most positive and yet effortless endeavours that we Terrans can undertake. I'd like to think that the cosmos is a vast sea of linked consciousness, and have often been puzzled by people who proclaim that looking at stars makes them feel insignificant. I was a fire lookout for the US Forest Service for several years, and got many opportunities to look up at the stars on the catwalk of my tower, and I never felt insignificant. "Unified" is a better word. The experience of star-gazing strips one of one's ego mechanism - or it should. At any rate, wouldn't it be extraordinary if we could create theatre for those intelligent civilizations out there? |
