| Personal background |
|---|
| Hello Everyone. I'm 34 years old and currently reside in Louisville, KY. I'm an electronic technician by trade and work as a sound engineer for local live bands and recording sessions. My passion is for astronomy and physics. I'm an avid amateur astronomer and although I have no formal training in physics, I have been studying this amazing field of science for a decade. What do I do when I'm not geeing out on science? I love reading. Of course, this is just another form of geeking out. I admit a significant fraction of the books I read are science fiction, but I do manage to squeeze in other works as well. My favorite author is Robert J. Sawyer, a terrific Canadian author who has written several excellent books. He blends science, philosophy and religion together in a very stylish and profound way. Eric Nylund and Douglas Adams are also favorites of mine. I also love playing the guitar and enjoy listening to a wide variety of music. Primus, Beck, Radio Head, Frank Zappa, Mozart, Bloche, and Bartok are some of my favorite artists. Of course, I love computers. The first computer I ever touched was a Radio Shack TRS-80 model 1. I was 11 years old and I never stopped loving them. The Internet has really opened up the potential of the PC and I am glad to have had the opportunity to witness its beginnings. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
Seti@home is a brilliant concept. This is the type of project for which the Internet is perfect. What better way to use the vast computational resources available the world over. To each his own, but I feel good that my system is being used for what I believe is an important task. I take pride in knowing that my computer is more than just a repository for porn. The quest for the answer of whether life exists elsewhere in our galaxy and the universe in general is unquestionably a logical step in the evolution of our universal awareness. In the past, the earth occupied a special existence. However, the breakthroughs of scientists such as Copernicus, Keller, Galileo, Newton and many others have shown that the Earth and Sol are rather unremarkable in a universal sense. So why is not life unremarkable in this sense? Of course, the means by which seti scientists search necessitate finding intelligent life. That is even better perhaps. I am optimistic that intelligent life exists elsewhere and am glad to be a part in the search.
