Personal background
Bleh, I hate these things...Ah well, I graduated class of '03 at River Ridge High School, and I currently work on stage at the Center for the Arts at River Ridge as a Stage Hand/Tech. I enjoy sailing (at night, of course), swimming (same), and computers. Anything else? Ask, I wont bite..promise! ;)
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Do I believe that extraterrestrial life exists? I think the quote from Contact sums up my beliefs: "If we are alone, isn't it just a big waste of space?". I think that there has to be life in space. The thought that we are alone is arrogant, just like the belief centuries ago tha the world was flat, and that we were the center of the universe. I dont, believe, however, that we should transmit a beacon. My reasons for this belief are simple, if not influenced by movies that make you think "what if?. If we transmit a beacon, we could be endangering ourselves by identifying ourselves in a universe that we have yet to fully understand. And finally, I run the SETI@home project because I believe that it is the best hope we have to find unidentified, non terrestrial, signals from another planet.
