Personal background
My name is Chris Geiger.
I'm a 26 year old from Bremerton, Wa. Was Born in Holland, MI.

I've been involved with SETI @ Home since it's release.
There was a pause during my moves in the Navy.
Now that I have some time ashore, I'm putting my laptop's idle time to SETI.

I Run a middle-low end computer using an AMD Turion64 x2 running dual 800Mhz core.

The prospect of other life has always captured my interest. Anything to help the effort in search of.

My myspace page is www.myspace.com/weasel47_3

I also to a bit of paranormal research in my spare time.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Why do I run SETI@home?

I know there is more than a cubic @#$-ton of data coming in from the skies. Anything I can do in my limited capacity to try to find whatever there is out there.

My views on the project:

SETI is a noble goal. It's idea is ancient. That we are not alone, that others have evolved on distant worlds and know about us.

Analyzing light is a good start, and if they can get a beacon out to us that is great.

Any suggestions:

Yes. Start finding a different medium. Light is a very basic energy-transfer maechinism of the universe. I believe that matter is ultimately made from the compression of light. There is a flaw though.. GRAVITY BENDS LIGHT. Therefore if I wanted a multi-light-year method of communication, I would want to find something that gravity didn't distort.

Also, SETI, to my knowledge, is trying to find an analog peak signal. Remember when we were able to communicate digitally? 1's and 0's.. ons and offs.

This peak may not be as prevalent as a certain pattern. I'd look for a digital pattern as well.

To summarize, I would like them to expand thier methods and mediums.
