Personal background
I'm originally American, lived in England for a bit and now call Australia home. Hard to imagine living in a place a whole half a world away from where one was born. How things can be so strange, so different, but then again, in many ways similar. I wonder if finding life out there in the universe will be like that. Same yet different. Enjoy the similarities, it's what binds us together as one people. Celebrate the differences, it's what makes life so very interesting!

Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I've dedicated my units in memory of Nessa, in the shape of a cat, my best friend. He left life on August 4 2002 a victim of feline lymphoma. Not a day goes by that I don't miss his sweet face. My charity of choice will be the cancer society. Once a cure is found for humans, there will be hope for our pets, our trusting, loving, companions that travel with us through this life. So I celebrate the human spirit. So fragile a thing that the loss of one so loved can crush us so, make us long for death but instead, forces us to face the futility of life. It's fragility then replaced by steel that we should never love so fully, trust so far ever again. And slowly the heart softens and we see love, hope and trust again and welcome it into our hearts. How on earth or anywhere else, will we be able to convey something so raw and emotional but so fundamental to us? Like so much else in life, so many questions and not enough answers.
