My name is Dave and I\\'m a 30-something developer working to better my world one small piece of code at a time. Ever since I could discern the difference between \\"Ctrl\\" and \\"Shift\\" I\\'ve been using a computer. I live with my wife and dog in a quiet but bustling far northwest suburb of the chicago area. I\\'m a big fan of science, technology, Sci-Fi and Sci-Fi art. One of the great promises of science fiction is that much of it eventually becomes science fact. In every fiber of my being I truly believe that the discovery of sentient life on other worlds is a scientific inevitability and not a fanciful fantasy. Therefore I really appreciate the work that SETI has done to try and turn that belief into a reality. I was tickled when I heard about SETI@home the first time. I signed up as soon as I had a PC that could handle it. And I\\'m honored to provide my small slice of bit-twiddling pc-power to their program.

I think this perhaps illustrates my interest:
Somewhere out there on an altogether different planet is an altogether different being staring up with alien eyes into an altogether different alien sky and wondering \\"is there anyone out there?\\". At that moment many light years away on our humble planet I look up into the the sky and think the same thought. And for that moment neither of us are alone in the universe. We are linked by a common ideal... that there is something greater than ourselves and that both our worlds are a part of that ideal and therefore a part of the community of life. My alien friend knows that he, or his people, will someday meet our people and I believe the same thing. One day we will trod the same earth and greet each other knowing without a doubt that we truly are no longer alone in the universe. |
