| Personal background |
|---|
| I was born in Weisbaden, Germany on July 9th, 1982. My Dad was stationed there for the US Air Force. They had been living there for 4 years when I was born, and lived there for 2 more years before moving back to the states. For the next 6.5 years we lived in Tucson, Arizona, which was a great experience for me. In tucson my dad retired, and we followed my mom to Yorktown, Virginia (She worked in the civil service for the military. We live in Virgin for 5 years, during which point we got our first computer. Eventually, mom "moved home" and we came to Ohio, where I live today. I continued to grow up and played in HighSchool Band and got _really_ into computers. My senior year I met the girl I've been dating for a year and a half now, I graduated, smack dab in the middle of my class and am currently attending the University of Cincinnati, studying Computer Science. I discovered Seti@Home about 2 years ago, and have run it on our first computer (a p90 since retired) and am now running it on 2 computers. Mine at School which is a 700mhz Athlon. and my Parents' Pentium3 800mhz. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

| I think Seti is the coolest thing. I've always like Star Trek and all things Sci-Fi. Life outside of Earth, however cannot be fiction. It may be a long time before _they_ find us. But I know they've got to be out there. 'Till then, we'll continue to explore space as best we can. Personally, I think we're leaking enough radio transmissions we dont need to broadcast any "beacons". I run Seti for many reasons, includig the ones I've already mentioned. The simplest reason though, I suppose is that there's no reason not to. With processing power to spare, I see no reason not to put my computer to real use (outside of games). |
