Profile: Captain Jack

Personal background
...I started out as a child, and grew up in the hills of Southern California...

We moved to Oregon about 1963, and I've lived here ever since, except for two years of madness in the Nevada desert.

I like just about anything to do with Boating or Fishing, I'm a crack shot with a rifle (slightly less accomplished with a pistol), and I like just about anything recreational done outside on a warm summer day. I detest being cold and damp, which means I suffer through the Oregon winters just to get to its summers.

I get along quite well with most animals, less so with people. I'm quite intelligent and highly opinionated, but I rarely show either of these in public.

I maintain computer networks and digital projectors for a living, but I'll give it all up in a heartbeat the day I win the lottery.

If I'm not out boating, fishing, or running a mountain road on my motorcycle, I'm most likely tinkering on something in the shop. Old cars and motorcycles fascinate me, and I'd much rather be out driving a 60's American muscle car than the imported junk they build today. The imports may get better mileage, have a place to plug in your iPod, and they might even handle better, but they have no SOUL. There's just something about the sound and feel of a classic American V-8 that resonates with my inner being...

More later as I think of it...

Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1. I run SETI at home because I find it hard to believe we're the only intelligent (?) life in the universe.

2. It's terribly under-supported. At this rate it'll take thousands of years to search even a small slice of the sky.

3. Let me think about it for awhile-
