Personal background
I am a 25 year old Music Composition Major at the State University of New York at Fredonia, in the United States. I play the guitar, and in my free time I think about music, write music, study composers, listen to as much as I can and practice. I know that this all sounds pretty mundane, but that is what I am interested in, and used to be all that I was interested in, until I happened upon SETI@home.
How it came about was that I serched my brothers IM name on yahoo, and this was one of the sites that he came to once upon a time. I asked him what it was all about, and he described it and here I am. I am excited to be a part of such a large, and important project.

On a side note I am a huge Frank Zappa fan.
Thankyou.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I think that extraterrestrial life must exist. I think that it is impossible to have so much space, in (well..) space! I think that it is important for us to reach out for information that is other-worldly. It is really mind-boggling to think about all that could be out there. Things that we could never begin to explain with our meager vocabulary, things we have never seen, things that we have never sensed. It is really amazing. I think that we can never really understand our existence until we are able to put it in the perspective of others.

I think that humans should transmit a beacon, though I wonder if other "beings" would be able to know what we are doing, would they know how to pick up our signal? Is our technology, senses or experiences transferrable to other worlds, or are we the only ones that understand what we are doing. I think that we should try, but we should wonder about how far our attempts will take us.
