Profile: Steve Rosenstein

Personal background
I'm a New York City baby boomer currently employed by IBM as an IT Architect/Developer. Prior to joining IBM, I worked in the IT departments of an investment bank, The Legal Aid Society of NYC, and spent many years as a VAX/VMS specialist for the Grumman Corporation on Long Island. I've flown F-14s and Lunar Modules (simulators, mostly). While with the Legal Aid Society I was named a Computerworld/Smithsonian medal laureat for Innovations in Technology for developing a case management system for the Juvenile Rights Division.

When not puttering around with computers, my interests and hobbies include road bicycling, hiking, music (doo-wop 50's, new age, soundtracks, and anything by Phil Spector). My first attempt to contact extra-terrestrial life was flying model rockets in the early to mid 1960's (NAR #5073). I'm an on-again/off-again science fiction fan, and have been involved over the years with fandom and F&SF conventions, including the original Star Trek Conventions in NYC. These were my further attempts at communicating with alien life forms. Now I work from home and network with strange if somewhat sentient beings all over the world.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
"You'll never know what's around the corner unless you are willing to walk to the end of the block." We need to walk to the end of our galactic block to find out what's around that cosmic corner.
