Personal background
Hi. My name is Jan Sørensen and I'm from Denmark Scandinavia. I'm 24 years of age and currently studying to become a music teacher. For me music is not just a hobby, but a whole way of life because it's particularly in music, when the groove is in place and everyone's just playing together and create that "space" between the beats that makes all the difference, I find those special moment of presence. It's in those moments I get to listen to all that "in between" where time seems to stand still.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
The same feeling I can get, when I gaze at the night sky.

Ever since I've been a kid, I've looked at the stars in awe and wonder. The night sky has always represented to me something of eternal truth or maybe divine matter. Something of beauty beyond comprehension and demands for answers: Are we alone? What is out there? What is divine? What is God? Who created all this? - For me science and God don't necessarily have to exclude eachother. Maybe we'll know when we die. Maybe not. Maybe someone out there can tell us more. Maybe someone out there is asking the same questions as we are.

Sometimes I get a bit impatient. Why can't we just go? Why can't we just travel throughout the universe and visit other planets and stars and galaxies. Why is science so slow? Can't those guys at NASA hurry up and build some of all those toys they are talking about. Let's go to Europe. - To Titan. Go beyond our solar system. To other galaxies and solar systems. Not in 5 years, but now, today. - And let's find out what's on all those moons and stars and planets out there. We can’t be alone - not with stars and possible planets out there.

Sometimes I get the feeling that we should not look to science and technology at all if we want to visit other worlds and galaxies or explore the universe, but to our insides, to our spirit which by some is told to be able to expand and explore far beyond our level of physical consciousness and senses and what we can see, hear, feel & smell.

I've always been occupied with matters like these and always thought for the night sky as the place to begin the search for answers. And I've always wanted to do something, to participate in the quest for the answer to on of the biggest questions: Are we alone. - So when I finally got online and discovered this project, the first thing I did was of course to install the screensaver. Now I just have to work on my patience.

But how I hope for a friendly "Hello" soon.
