| Personal background |
|---|
I'm 33, and originally from Massachussetts (Cape Cod) but lived all over NY and CT growing up. It's gotten so bad that I barely unpack because I know I'm just going to move again. But this one seem fairly permanent, at least for 3 or 4 years.
Not a whole lot to tell about me. I spent 8 years in the army from 1992-2000, and then went to work for a govt. contracting company. Between 1993 and 2006 I've travelled to 43 different countries, mostly on business but there's always time to get out and see the sights. Even though I've been back in the U.S. for 9 months now, I still feel like an alien, after 4.5 years in Moscow and 6 mos. in Iraq.
My beloved hobby, which unfortunately I'm getting a little old for is Paintball. While living in Moscow paintball became my obsession. Not running around in the woods paintball; this was the Millennium Pro Series with 5 events hosted in a different country between late March and October. And having the best professional team in the world to coach, Russian Legion a.k.a. Boston Red Legion, we were very quickly able to compete at high level. In our second season, 2003, we won the World Cup in Toulouse, France, and finished fourth in two other events to give us an overall fourth place for the season in Div. II
Occupation: Freeloader off of Mom and Dad. Actually I'm going back to school full-time in January. No idea what I'm going to study because I'm interested in so many different things, but I've got time to figuer it out.
Cheers to all!!!

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
1. If my computer can assist in the search for life in solar systems or galaxies other than our own, I feel that this is a step forward for our own civilization. When you look at how far humans have advanced their knowledge of the human body, and the environment that we live in, surely there must be another planet with the same type of people, and possibly with technology much greater than ours. This could prove invaluable to our own space exploration program, and find the means to travel faster and farther.
2. See number one. It's great that people want to be involved in helping the SETI@home project process the massive amounts of data that it receives. It's when you think about the computing power you can harness, it's like being given a free server farm
3. Still thinking |
