Personal background
I live in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada and I'm 27 years old. I have a BSc. in Progamming, but it is not my true love. I left the high tech world to start my own business and I'm now the proud owner of a drag stip in town. For those of you who don't know what that is, two cars, 1/4 mile, whoever gets to the end first wins. It's a little more complicated than that but you get the idea. I also have three beautiful children from a previous marriage and a loving boyfriend who I live with.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I do think there is extraterrestrial life, how could there not be? I also think that SETI is the way we will discover it. With so many people on this planet dedicated to finding it through SETI by processing data on their home computers, I don't think any other method will be faster. It may take more than my lifetime to find it, but in the meantime, I will do my part, and encourage others to do the same. Whatever is out there could be beneficial, could be dangerous, could be neither, but it's in my nature to find out, even if it's a bad thing :)
I think humans should transmit a beacon for extraterrestrials to find. Hopefully they are doing the same! Included should be only very important information such as DNA, societal structure, and how to contact us if they get the message.
I run SETI at home because I love the idea that I can be part of something that will indeed change the world. I think the project is an incredible mix of ideas and cooperation, that cannot be matched. Proud to be a part of it.
