| Personal background |
|---|
I am a software test engineer living in Denver, Colorado. The scenery here is spectacular, I've never gotten tired of it. I grew up in a small town in the mountains where I used to watch meteor showers regularly. Up there, the skies are bursting with them when a shower comes; there are too many to count. And the Milky Way is a brilliant band across the sky...

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I would imagine that the universe is teeming with life. Otherwise, I do not think that the universe would exist with such abundance. Unfortunately, I don't believe that there are cultures out there that are far more advanced than our own. In technology, probably, they are, but I would imagine that most cultures face the same challenges as our own. It is the peculiar characteristic of life at this point in time to be short-sighted and a bit introverted. I doubt that we'll discover other life forms; if we encountered any, it would probably be them discovering us. Our underdeveloped space program is not moving nearly fast enough to give us a good shot at it.
-We don't need to send a transmit beacon...we already broadcast enough stuff incidentally to be easily detected.
-I run Seti@home because I think it's a neat project--it affords a chance to participate in a far-sighted experiment that may yet yield results of some sort(?). I also like the distributed computing aspect, that so many people can participate in something cool together and that my processors at home don't just sit there doing nothing. |
