Personal background
Konnichiwa! I'm an electrical/biomedical engineering junior at the University of Arizona. I'm from the Bay Area, California, 20 and am working on a Beowulf cluster to function as a SETI processor (I guess that makes a bit of a megalomaniac too :-) I enjoy welding stuff, general con/de-struction, building alternative fuel vehicles, Tesla coils, and other high power nerd type stuff. Just recently I really dove into robotics by building a 5-axis arm...amazingly it worked, hehe.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I most definitly believe that there's other life in the Universe, it's a pretty big place and we're a pretty small speck of dust in it. SETI@home is a brilliant program that I'm proud to have running on all my machines. It really takes the previously forbidden world of radio astronomy and brings it that much closer to the average user. Apart from setting up a radio telescope in your back yard, (which I really wanna install, but my landlord won't let me) it's about as close as you can get. I run it for the pure possibility that someone somewhere might find a blip on the screen and realise that that day changed the rest of history...plus I have a lot of spare CPU power :-)
