I been contributing to Seti@home since 2004 (on/off). Educated in computing but has many other interest in science and technology and strange stuff. Currently working on Android TV sticks, 2 running Linux instead of Android.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1. Want to see if these are other life out there in this big ass universe.
2. Someone got to keep and eye out for the intergalactic highway earth demolition notice (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
