| Personal background |
|---|
I studied environmental science. Then electrical engineering. Now I mash stats to see when a (very) big bank needs to buy more computers. Mainframes, that is. Boring boring boring (at least to most of you)... this is called capacity planning, fortunately I kind of like mashing stats. More importantly I'm a dad & husband with great kids and a wonderful home life and just about everything I ever wanted, including the chance to look for ET. Hey shortie, can you make my bicycle fly please?

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I've loved science fiction ever since whenever. My imagination was fired by Ray Bradbury, Arthur C. Clarke, Robert A. Heinlein and Isaac Asimov among others (now you know how old I am), and I hope we're not the only ones around to wonder who we are and why. I don't know if searching the hydrogen band will help us find anyone out there, but we've got to try!
If we do find someone, it will be hard to decide what to send, and when and how. When we consider the possible modes of alien thought, the only thing we can be reasonably sure of is that they won't closely resemble ours. They may be difficult to recognize as thought at all. Look how divergent our modes of thought can be within our own species! |
