Hey I'm a rocknroll drummer from Sydney, Australia. I'm in my thirties and as a hobby I run an independant record label called "Illustrious Artists". I love sixties science fiction movies like "Teenagers from Outer Space" and I collect records, mainly underground psychedelia like The Blues Creation and July. I'm married to a beautiful woman named Andrea (we got married in Vegas a couple of years ago)and we have two cats (Flugelhorne and Cheeks)and an Old English Sheepdog (Dewey).
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I've been enthralled by the idea of contact with other races on other planets since I was a child, being part of the SETI program seems like a good way to help out with the important work of discovering more about who lives in our universe.
The idea of using everyone's computer downtime to process the massive amount of data that this project has to contend with is something that intrigued me straight away and it's a far better screensaver than a bunch of flying toasters!!
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
