I'm a 30 year old sys-admin living in Austin, TX. Recently politically active, but an all time lover of astronomy and theoretical physics, I decided it was time to help out the community in whatever way I could.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I think the seti@home community and the program's design are wonderful. I am more than happy to be running it at full tilt on my 2 PCs at home and my workstation at work.
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.
