| Personal background |
|---|
I am a 49 year old dinosaur who has had access to the internet at home for only about a year . It's not that I resist advancing and changing technology , it's the opposite , I always want the latest toys . As you all know , in the industries connected to electronics , computers , software , hardware add ons , etc. , the changes seem to come more quickly , months or even weeks rather than a year or so . My problem is I am the Prince of Procrastination , so on some things I am usually a generation behind . I think I took some advice from a very smart Wall St. executive while I was rising through the ranks of a major investment bank , a bit too far . He told me , "don't sweat the small problems , they resolve themselves over time". He was right and it works great in an operations area of a Wall St. broker , but there were no Toshiba laptops materializing in my home .
So I mentioned I work in the investment community . Talking about what I do can be very boring to those on the receiving end , so I'll leave it at that .
I am divorced , it was amicable , and my wife and I still love each other very much . The reasons for the split are too complicated to explain here and no one's damn business anyway .

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
| I've known about SETI for some time and always thought the project was way cool . I always think about the universe , being driven crazy by Stephen Hawking , (pulsating , ever expanding) and agree the probability of no one else being out there is staggering . But I flip flop all the time . Sometimes I think maybe it is just us , chugging along on Space Ship Earth . If that is the case we should really be doing a lot more partying . Anyway , if someone else is out there , I want to see if they use mathematics as a universal translator like the late , great , Carl Sagan said they would . |
