Personal background
Name: Jon Langdon

BD:0100-1011-01010001
Occupation: Student by day, webdesigner, programmer, developer, IT guy by night... but that's just my job.

Location: University of Connecticut at Storrs

Hobbies: Checking out the women and brew at the bars. I'm down with dorm-activities such as sneaking a keg in. I also like to get involved with the department of residential life at UConn... like the time I went down and helped them figure out why I wasn't in trouble because "I have no clue where that beer came from.". But no, seriously, it's not all drinking. Mostly I am down with my frat brothers from Kappa Phi Sig, and wow we know how to party.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
SeTi: Most of what got me involved in SETI is that I'm a believer. All of that stuff out there, it's cool. I like sitting out at night and staring at the stars (which is a good clue to onlookers that I'm most likely a little... how can I say... hurted on). But for me, it isn't really a question of finding if something is out there... I'm pretty positive it's there, but I want to know how close. How far do we have to go to meet it.... Maybe they'll travel half way and we'll meet up at a gas station some where of something.


Sending a beacon signal: Yeah man, it's a good idea, I mean no harm, unless alien ants come and attack us. But I'd take full responcibility for that, so no worries. What should we send... I'll leave that up to the experts, but I would assume the code would be mathmatical in nature.


Why do I do it: Why not, I mean, I don't know who wouldn't say 'cool' if we found out about some extra-terestial life forms...
