Personal background
I'm an SF writer and artist, and a student at Keele University, UK. My interests encompass just about everything from astronomy to swordfighting, screenwriting to cats, and pizza to particle physics.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
There is no doubt in my mind that extraterrestrial life exists. It's simply a question of whether or not we'd recognise that life when we encountered it, and what it would think of us.

The SETI project is important not just because of the scientific data produced. It's a reminder, background but present, that we are in effect standing on the edge of an abyss with our toes hanging over. The issues of human suffering become either incredibly magnified or diminished when you look at our world from a cosmic angle. Either way, day to day we forget that we are the only life we know of so far in the universe. If people considered this question more often, they'd realise just how lonely we are, and how important.
