I started processing for SETI@home in 1999, and was in the top 10% of rankings until I stopped around 2006. I recently started up crunching workunits again.

When I find web sites with interesting news items or commentary, I put them on my
stumbleupon site

I also volunteer at PARI when I can get away for a long weekend, and they're having one of their "volunteer weekends" - these two events haven't happened at the same time in couple of years.

PARI is a wonderful facility located in the Pisgah National Forest, near Asheville, North Carolina. They are a former NASA facility that now offers observing on multiple radio and optical telescopes, including two 26m radio originally installed by NASA.

Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I run SETI@home because I believe in the concept of situational awareness.

Astronomers are finding more extrasolar planets, and we won't notice anything if we are not monitoring attention.
