I'm 21 years old and a student of Temple University's, Tyler School of Art and Design. I am a Graphic Design major going into my 3rd year here. I have been fasinated with computer technology and the search for life outside of earth since I was a small child. I remember tinkering on my fathers old Radio Shack computer, and playing with my own first "portable" Zenith Data System running DOS 2.0. Ever since than I could never get my hands away from technology. My intrest in the stars formed embarassingly enough after being sat down in front of the TV by my mother to watch Star Trek. Ever since than I was hooked. Anything and everything sci-fi.
I remember signing up for this back in 1999 when I first got my old 486 onto the internet. I was so very intrested in the program and the idea. I've since forgotten that old account and long ago said good bye to that old 486. Since than I have off and on opened accounts to process data where I can.
Today now I feel I can help more than ever. With my own home network broadband line and several boxes ranging from Windows to Linux based. I've set up the SETI@Home Client on them all.
Let's what's out there.

Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I believe that life must exist on other worlds in our own galaxy if not in others. The universe is too complex and for us to be a single "X" factor in all the galaxy. There must be more out there.
I believe that the SETI@Home project is one of the most intresting I have ever come across. Its brilliant in its thinking. Why fund the huge cost of buying computers to process this data when one can utilize the millions of computers that live on so many people's desktops. What better use for a computer when you're not using it!
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.
