Profile: Joe Gekko

Personal background
My name is Joe, and I live just about 10 minutes shuy of Houston, TX with my wife (Cobler) and .5 children. Yes, .5, we are expecting our first in late November. When I'm not coming within a hair's breadth of getting myself fired from Video Hell, I like to read, tinker on my cars, and tease my aforementioned wife.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Unlike a lot of people (seems like most people) involved in this, I'm not really to interested in the whole distributed computing aspect of this project.

To me, it is a means to an end.

The sooner we can eliminate the radio spectrum that is currently being observed, the sooner we can move on to the next one, and the one after that... etcetera ad infinitum, until we find evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence.

After all, if only a tiny fraction of a minute portion of the stars in our galaxy [b]alone contain intelligent life, that's stil a lot of neighbors we've never introduced ourselves to.
