Personal background
Is there life out there?

I'm 32, no kids yet, so I volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters. I'm interested in EVERYTHING, including Astronomy.


I read this article from Wired.com that told about a person that was a participant in a distributed processing project and his laptop got stolen and the next time it was connected to the Internet it reconnected the laptop to the Distributed.net servers, and the organization was able to track down the thief using his IP address. "Sort of like LoJack for the computer" Cool huh?

Check it out!
