Hi, I'm Mike from Easton, PA, and I am a recovering technology addict for over 30 years.
OK, I'm fibbing. I'm not recovering at all. ^c^
I'm a CAD drafter/designer, an amateur computer geek and I play a little folk guitar. A first-time husband for 30 years and counting, with 3 great kids, the youngest finished with his final year of high school.
Hobbies include golf, walking, cycling, computers, Star Trek, Star Wars, Stargate-SG1 (big fan! I can't believe it's over...) and the SciFi Channel.
I'm involved in my community, where I strongly promote VOTER REGISTRATION! You see, our political leaders are elected by an embarrassingly small percentage of the people they represent. So I don't care if you're with the BLUE PARTY, the RED PARTY, the GREEN PARTY, WHATEVER! Take the time to register, and then exercise your RIGHT and RESPONSIBILITY by getting out to the polls!
OK, I've put my soapbox away. Mega-thanks to the folks at Berkeley for all the work that goes into keeping all our machines busy when we aren't using them!

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
Distributed processing is starting to really flex its muscle! Today, there are so MANY projects to which I could donate my idle time, but SETI had always sparked my imagination, back when it was government funded. When I learned:
a) The government dropped funding, and
b) They came up with a TSR that would analyze fragments of signal and I COULD HELP by running it on my machine, I was HOOKED!!!
Someday I will donate processing time to other interests, but for now S@H is the one for me. Besides, it concerns itself with finding evidence of intelligent life "out there", which addresses my fascination with "Star"-anything! |
