| Personal background |
|---|
I live in Lakewood, CO right now, but have lived pretty much all over the U.S.: PA, CA, IA, TX, OR, and NY, too. I've been in computing for over 30 years -- I started out working as a tape librarian and computer operator on the Space Shuttle simulators at Johnson Space Center, then military aircraft. I got out of that kind of work and did consulting (development and integration) work for retailers, oil companies, telecommunications companies, and manufacturing concerns. I now work for Oracle (formerly Sun Microsystems and StorageTek where I'm currently a software engineer working on hardware products (hardware, firmware, drivers, and utilities).
I'm the Committee Chair for Denver Area Council Scouts BSA Troop 324 and Sea Scout Ship 324 (in landlocked Colorado!), Roundtable Commissioner, Eagle Advisor, Merit Badge Counselor, occasional staffer at Commissioner College and IOLS, and shooting sports rangemaster/range safety officer. In other words, "just an hour a week" is my punchline, not my truth. Other hobbies that I bring to Scouting include astronomy, music, fishing, stamp collecting, leatherworking, cooking, and camping. I don't bring zymurgy to Scouting - things haven't gotten *that* relaxed yet! |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I run SETI@home because it was the first distributed computing projects I ever encountered, and there's always work to do here.
Also, I cannot believe that we're the only intelligent life in the universe(s). I figure that just because I haven't seen something doesn't mean that it doesn't exist: I've never seen the Mo'ai, but I have it on pretty good authority that they're really on Rapa Nui. |
