“The destiny of Earthseed is to take root among the stars…beyond Mars. Other star systems. Living worlds.” I was never too good at using a telescope, but that’s done nothing to hinder my endless fascination with the stars. I can’t help but to wonder what’s really out there.
Who knows, with commercialization of space travel on the rise, maybe I’ll get there one day. But until then I’ll contribute by giving my free cpu cycles to Seti@Home.

Seti@Home is a project aimed at finding signs of extraterrestrial intelligence using the collective processing power of computers around the world to analyze massive amounts of data gathered from radio telescopes. I first participated in the Seti@Home effort back in 2000 during my sophmore year in college. Back then I was still using windows as my primary operating system and didn’t know of any other Seti@Home client available at the time. Fast forward a few years and the Seti@Home project is still going strong and clients are available for a range of operating systems including linux.
