| Personal background |
|---|
I'm a cubicle worker with a rubber chicken that dresses up for holidays. Neckbone B. Featherless is his name, style is his game.
You can see him in the picture. He is the one on the left. No, the other left.
Twenty-some years ago I got into the computer industry. Hobbyist, operator, programmer, analyst, network administrator, I've done my share. Now I do advanced product support for Fair Isaac Corporation on their analytics and modeling software.
I love golf, guns, girls and my cat, Grayson. My wife only lets me play with three out of those four. Seventy five percent isn't bad. Probably better than SETI is doing.
I do a little genelogical research in my spare time. I have registered a .org domain name for when I have time enough to put the family history online. Until then I spend my time playing Unreal Tournament 2003, making music CDs, selling stuff on Ebay, and generally wasting away the rest of my life.

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I heard about SETI many years ago but just didn't link up and help. Boy it looks like I'm way behind. Likely my old Apple II wouldn't have been much good anyway.
Whether or not extraterrestrial life exists is quite a question. The line from Bruce Jay Friedman's "Steambath"
where God, as the Porta Rican attendant, says "A little philosophy inclineth man’s mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men’s minds about to religion." comes to mind. Later I learned that this was a quote from the famous British philosopher, Francis Bacon (1561–1626). How we learn is not as important as that we learn.
God? ET? God? ET? Whew! What a quandary! Perhaps they are one and the same. |
