Soapbox Nerds Make First Contact!

Or want to, at least. That's why I just create the SETI@home Soapbox Nerds team. If you don't know what SETI is, here's a brief description:

"SETI@home is a scientific experiment that uses Internet-connected computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). You can participate by running a free program that downloads and analyzes radio telescope data."

The process is simple. You go to the download the program and it runs in the background while your computer is idle. This distributing computing method helps them process the mounds of radio frequency data to search for extra terrestrial signals. If you wanna join the Soapbox Nerds team, do this:

-Go to the website and make an account

-Search for and join the Soapbox Nerds team

-Download and run the program

-Attach the SETI@home project

-Find aliens!

Let me know if you have questions. This is best run on a computer that is plugged in (so it won't drain your battery), or is on all the time (mac mini *cough cough*).
