I'm 28 years old. I'm a software test engineer working on Xbox games. Yes, I get paid to play video games. I've always had an interest in space, stars and what's out there. I've always enjoyed sitting in the middle of no where and enjoying the stars.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
It's fun to be a part of something like this. I have several computers that I use for work and they just sit idle at night. I might as well put the processing power to work for something. Besides, people have all sorts of questions when they see it running.
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.
