| Personal background |
|---|
I've lived in Southern California for over 40 years with a very brief stint in San Luis Obispo and Mammoth Mountain, CA. I haven't so much a fascination of computers, but I have a fairly logical and creative mind. With such, I've become a Multimedia Programmer (hate the title) for PADI - the scuba diving training and certification organization. I make virtually all of the cd-rom based educational products. My specialties are Macromedia Authorware, Dreamweaver and Flash, Adobe Photoshop and After Effects, and building application installers. I create mouch of the graphics, the interactions, program flow and program design.
Do I scuba dive? Well... Yes and no. I was certified in 1975 but went diving only twice before I moved on to other things. Now, I married with two kids and, even though retraining would be free, I just don't have the time as well as putting the kids in all the activities they like, I use my little moments of time to run, swim and cycle so that next season I can enter triathalons and, hopefully, do well. I currently only compete in running events - marathons and half-marathons. Now, I'm training just for a 5k run on Thanksgiving.
The picture is me finishing the America's Finest City Half-Marathon (San Diego 2001) my best time ever - 1:36 |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I think there must be other life out there in space - and I'm not going to quote "Contact" - "empty space" and all! I think even if the chain of events led to intellegent (we can only hope) life here on Earth has been nearly unique, with the vastness of space, it simply cannot be absolutely unique.
I run SETI@home mostly for fun. I'm either working on my PC or my Mac, so whichever is idle at the moment is given the SETI task. |
