| Personal background |
|---|
| I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, home to SETI. When not doing whatever is I do known as "work," I busy myself in eating, drinking and being merry. I play soccer in a local league, don't practice my guitar enough, read too much, make the rounds at local museums and generally try to keep the mind and body equally fit and active. I travel a bit, though not as much as I'd like (who does?). Recently back from Normandy and London (July '03) and spent about a month in Australia last year. Definitely the land of Oz. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
| I am not arrogant enough to think that Earth is the only place to support living organisms in the universe, though I can't even hazard a guess as to who, when and where new life may be discovered. So long as the beacon is merely a "we're here" signal, a la a lighthouse, then I have no problem with it. Similarly, I'm not sure what "information" the beacon should send beyond a figurative flag flapping in the breeze. A former coworker introduced me to SETI@home. I'm not scientifically savvy enough to grasp exactly how using the processing power on my CPU is assisting the project, but the is so much unused hard drive space on PCs in the world, why not let someone else tap into my nanobyte corner of it. Good luck SETIs! |
