I am from Salt Lake City, Utah. I am 36 years old, and the IT services manager for a credit reporting company.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I use SETI@home to provide semi-dormant workstations a higher purpose, rather than just polluting the electronic universe in my office with E-card adware and popups for generic Viagra. Extraterrestrial intelligence exists. There are too many good ingredients for it floating around not to. (I wonder if they get spam about enhancement drugs) Terrestrial intelligence is still up for debate.
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.
