I'm a television and motion picture actress suffering from low self esteem due to not being listed yet on IMDb. So, I thought perhaps actually having the machine that does detect the first confirmed ET signal would be a good way to find my way into the minds of Posterity. Sagan was right about the billions and billions, may the Gods pleasure him in Summerland. I imagine that the first thing we will detect will either be a shipping manifest, or a laundry list from a vessel. (A third probable occurence may be a pirate reggae station running on a hardware-hacked Voyager S-band transceiver.) I don't think we'll find too many peeps out there with beacons transmitting prime integers on one of the hydrgen lines, myself. (Not an exo-anthropologist, sad to say.)(Gee, I guess such scientists would not technically be "anthro"-pologists?)
If this piccy really says something to you, and gets you oh so excited about stuff, you need to find my email and chat me up: Even blonde screen acresses have a love of quanta (principally because they compose such interesting humans, and possibly, ETs)

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I feel strongly about this project, and although show as a new user of the BOINC implementation of SETI@Home, I for years contributed several bevaflops to the process using the original distributed software.
What has me extremely motivated and passionate about SETI is all about Earth, and Humanity, and the sanity of our theological and philosphical systems. Not to deny Deity, mind you. I am a dyed in the wool practicing Wiccan Priestess and work with Divinity at least weekly in a formal way, and daily in a more ongoing sort of practice.
What I would like to see is an expansion of our theological systems that a new, non-terrestrial civilisation would force us to undertake. We, Humans, take our 3 pounds of intracranial fat, and then many narrowly construct a theology that PLACES HUMAN LIMITS ON THE GREATNESS OF DIVINITY. Pish-tosh, blasphemy, by and large, if you can tolerate MHO.
Einstein was both wrong and right. (Yes, there is proof positive of "spooky action at a distance".) Plato was right and wrong. Everyone, including us now, are both right and wrong. We, in all our understanding of this universe, have in our sciences perhaps one 8 bit byte from a petabyte or larger set of natural knowledge.
It would be such an opportune time, with today's geopolitic, to have that undeniable signal, that set of manifests, or shore leave orders, or what ever, from the nearly infinite Cosmos that provides us with the startling news that we are not the sole, unique, sentients in this space-time. It would annoint us with truth that would become a great part of our magic as we evolve, on Earth as Humans, and as Cosmic community members, perhaps.
My suggestion is to listen to the soft small voice in the wind, and not the deafening klaxons of the Hydrogen Ions...
