I live and work in the Big Smoke, and have always been a bit of a computer/space geek.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I like the idea of SETI@home because I like the idea of a community coming together to work towards a common goal. In this day & age where there's so much fractiousness, I like to see people coming together for something. Plus I've always found it hard to believe that we're the only sentient life in the universe right now. Surely there must be someone else out there?
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.
