I'm an actor in L.A. (and a whole lot more) and am glad to do my part to help find whoever may be out there (Please... let there be someone out there!)
I'll add more info in a bit.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
It's a brilliant scheme... if more people used this sort of plan on other tough problems... much could be solved!
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.
