| Personal background |
|---|
I am rapidly approaching that age when you can spend your time either loafing around and having a good time or catching up on all of those little things that you didn't get around to in the previous 55 years.
I'm a transplanted Brit and live in Virginia.
For the past 20 years I've teaching English in the USA, Kuwait and Yemen. I would love one or two more
overseas tours - preferably somewhere warm, near the ocean and with beer.
Hobbies - Gardening, occasional ocean fishing, cycling and reading (mainly travel and history; oh yes, and the occasional bit of space opera - EE Smith and AE van Vogt.

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
Why do I SETI@Home? It is incredibly arrogant of us to imagine that we are the only life form in the universe.
It is astoundingly arrogant to imagine that we are the only intelligent life in the universe.
How will we discover the others? Well, SETI@Home seems to be a reasonable way to start, but, like all of the other great discoveries , it will probably be accidental or just luck. At least we haven't given up.
Benefits and dangers - Greatest danger - our own reactions. Benefits - boundless.
Information in the beacon - as little as possible - after all, we wouldn't want to put them off,would we.
Sorry - no pic. |
