Profile: Shane P. Forsythe-Newell

Personal background
A program & project manager, computer scientist, published author, aeronautical engineer and meteorological probabilistic-based model prototype developer in the continental United States (CONUS) working (contractor) for the U.S. Government who has created numerous scientific prototypes. A former senior editor for the Hurricane Forecast Improvement Project (HFIP) and scientist who enjoys reading [e.g., American Geophysical Union (AGU) and American Meteorological Society (AMS) articles; works of fiction, and fantasy]. Current hobbies are building computers with my brother Aaron, astronomy, programming, and reading. I once hosted a fairly successful tradewars online game server called "Merlin's Keep". I run SETI at home to help contribute to human civilization's attempts to contact extraterrestrial life and learn more about our universe [url=telnet://merlinskeep.dyndns.org]telnet://merlinskeep.dyndns.org. I enjoy being part of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) league and hope to one day in my lifetime verify that other sentient life exists in our civilization's time line.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I believe human civilization is evidence enough that other civilizations may have existed, exist and/or will exist. To simply discover another civilization within our human civilization's timeline would be an incredible achievement for humanity and an enjoyable experience as well for my Self. We do live in interesting times... This is why I am pleased to be an active participant in this SETI Project and I look forward to SETI's success.
