Personal background
I'm just your usual guy, in a somewhat unusual profession, living in a beautiful city and trying to look pretty.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
It was New Year's eve, between 1999 and 2000. Everybody was afraid that the Y2K bug was going to destroy the known universe. Me, I spent that evening looking up at the stars in the high desert of Joshua Tree.

I wondered to myself, what would the next millennium bring? Looking at all those stars and recognizing the clear statistical likelihood of life being found "out there" somewhere, I was answered.

Doesn't seem like it will be long before we locate fossils on some other planet or perhaps a meteorite. Eventually, we'll locate some indication of intelligent life elsewhere. It is inevitable as far as I'm concerned.

So, the very first week of 2000, I signed up with Seti@home.
