I graduated from OSU in 2008. I'm a automotive fanatic and a bit of a computer geek. I'm running SETI on my IBM T61 and a self built desktop (that's getting old).
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I run SETI because I wanted to contribute to the search for other worldly intelligence. I feel that if intelligent life outside of our own planet was found, it would be the single most important discovery in the history of the human race.
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
