My hobby is robotics and astronomy. I'm software engineer and love programming, especially in computer graphics related field.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I'm running SETI for few reasons - to show my support of the topic, also because I believe of extremely high probability of intelligent life in our big universe and therefore the need for communication. And also I heat my room almost 9 months in a year due to climate conditions, so running 300W GPU overnight keeps my room warm :D
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.
