Personal background
I'm a 20 year old Anthropology/Sociology major at West Virginia University. During the summer, I work for the City of Morgantown, WV, but during the school year, I remain unemployed to keep up with my classes.

My hobbies include fishing, biking, cooking, and World of Warcraft. Yea, I'm one of those people. :)
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I run Seti@Home because, as an Anthropology major, I am interested in cultures foreign to my own. So of course, any culture that is foreign to our whole race is going to interest me greatly, and I see S@H as the front-runner in the quest to find those cultures and lifeforms.

Seti@Home is an excellent program in my opinion. It may be limited right now in what it can find, but as time goes on and more telescopes are added that are devoted to S.E.T.I., the chances of finding life outside our solar system will increase, and I plan on being involved.

With such an expansive universe, I don't see how anyone could say there is nothing out there. With unlimited numbers of stars and planets, there have to be some that have conditions that will allow for live to arise. Besides, it may not even be life as we know it. If we assume that life forms based on something other than carbon can form, then the numbers of worlds that could hold life increase. And I think that is something that should be seriously considered by anyone involved in S.E.T.I.
