| Personal background |
|---|
I'm a 43-year-old from Bangor, Maine, USA. Although I grew up poor, through a
combination of luck, curiosity and determination, I've managed to live in or
visit all fifty US states and sixty-two countries on seven continents. I don't
mention this to brag, but just to point out that I have found our world to be
exceptionally diverse and enlightening. I've been working with computers since
1979, starting with an Atari 400 and working my way up through the whole Atari
8-bit range, on through the ST's, a Portfolio and a TT. I still use them
regularly (a 1200XL, 1040STe, and a TT) alongside of Linux on an Athlon 1200 I
built. Although currently unemployed, I've held many different jobs, some of
which are bartending in a casino, data processing coordinator at Fogler Library
at the University of Maine, Master Control Operator at two television stations
and fifteen years in communication in the United States Coast Guard.

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
While I am a skeptic on most matters, I ferverntly believe that extraterrestrial
life exists. There is simply too much real estate out there - besides, there has
to be some sort of cosmic balance in relation to the lack of intelligence in the
White House.(Yes, I'm referring to Commander Bunnypants - our Selected Resident)
Transmitting a beacon couldn't hurt, although I have no real idea what sort
of information we should send - or, how to make it stand out from all of the junk
we already broadcast.
I run SETI@home becuase I've always believed in the possibility of extraterrestrial
intelligence, and want to contribute to the effort in some small way. |
