Personal background
I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada...the great white north, although you would'nt know it with these scorching temperatures.

Winter up here allows me the chance to view the skies in almost pristine conditions. I go out to my cabin at Lake Winnipeg quite often to get away from the glare of the city lights...an awesome view!

I'm also an avid Hang Glider pilot which allows me to view the earth below from a very unique perspective. It's like your floating with nothing surrounding you but sky.

There are times when I'm flying that I think...wow! I'm the only person on this planet at this moment that's seeing and feeling this experience. I will probably be the only person ever.

I wonder if there are civilizations out there that experience the feeling of flight as we humans do?
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
SETI is a project that stirs the imagination no matter what you believe. The enormous sense of adventure and discovery that awaits could come at any moment. Contact could be only a unit away.

The universe is so great and immense in it's size that we have barely begun to unravel some of it's mysteries. We may think we understand the universe but do we really?

Scientific discoveries are being made daily in space and old science seems to be constantly rewritten. It's extremely hard to comprehend how many civilizations so vastly different from our own exist out there.

I often wonder what's beyond the blackness, when does it end? Is there an end, a barrier we can cross to another place. My hopes are that SETI one day will answer these important questions.

To me SETI is the future of mankind and we must ensure it continues in some form or another no matter what the cost. We don't want to miss that phone call.
