Profile: Brett Andersen

Personal background
I live in the mid-west at the moment, and I'm deeply involved with D&D. You'll find me on the wizard, paizo or kenzerco boards as DeadDMWalking. I've been running Seti@home since my junior year in college, and I specifically keep old computers to run more data. At the moment one of my older computers is down, but I'll have it fixed after I move at the end of January. It may be limping along, but every bit helps, right?
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1) I don't know if we'll find something, but I think its great that we're looking. I think mankind does best when he has something larger than himself to think about. I hope that we do find an alien intelligence - it has the potential to unlock the best aspects of humankind.

2) I don't really know how well things are going. I check the reports, but they don't always speak to me. Maybe definitive proof is a pipedream with the number of radio-producing objects in the night sky.

3) Let us know about areas of the sky that have been eliminated (if any) besides the ones that are just "potential" areas for intelligent life at or above our level of technological sophistication.
