Personal background
Hey all. I'm a 25 year old laid off nobody right now. I'm planning on going back to college for my business degree. I have too many interests and hobbies to list, but some of them include; electronics, radio communication, foreign language and my JEEP! I've always been good with computers, but I hate spending too much time in front of them. Sorry I don't have a pic. :(
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I can't imagine that in this tiny universe of ours that there isn't at least something else out there. It doesn't have to be little green men with disproportionately large heads. There must be at least mold or bacteria. Better yet, there could be "life" that exists in a form that we don't know of. Discovery of another form of life could help us expand our minds about the universe, science thoeries and personal beliefs. (Move over LSD)

I don't know if transmitting a beacon for others to find would be the best idea. That would have to be at least a 1000 year project, assuming some sort of response. Also, I think that it would be difficult to cover a large portion of space. I could be wrong since I don't know much about transmitting beacons into space. I'd just hate to send a signal out into the wrong direction. I don't know what kind of information would be good to send either. Maybe reruns of Silver Spoons?

I like giving my computers something to do while I'm not using them. I don't use them 24 hours a day, so they might as well help out someone else. I think this project is very interesting. I hope it helps further the understanding of space and astronomy. I am not concerned with whether or not extraterrestrial life is found. I just hope that I am contributing to something useful.
