Personal background
I used to be an avid fan of Star Fleet Command, a wonderful game by Taldren, Inc. I haven't played much recently (mostly due to time constraints), but I anxiously await their next product offerings.

For a small game development company, they put out some quality games. If you're a trekkie, I definitely recommend checking out their web site (http://www.taldren.com) and their Star Trek games.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I don't personally think that extraterrestrial life exists. If you believe in the theory of evolution, and examine the long odds it took for life to begin in ONE place, then extrapolate that to having intelligent life spontaneously begin elsewhere? The odds were against US being here, I don't see the dice coming up perfect twice.

However, it is a rather interesting fantasy that really hurts nobody to believe that not only there is life 'out there', but that it's intelligent, and sufficiently advance to have entered a technological age millions of years ago (sufficient time for it's radio emissions to be observed here).

I think the SETI@home project is going about such research in the proper fashion: get people that are interested in the project to support it, instead of relying on a billion-dollar government grant which equates to forcing people to support a project in which they may not be interested. I only wish that more research were done using the SETI@home model.
