The New and Improved SETI (by the irrepressible Seth Shostak)

"So what's new with SETI?

"It's an easy question: a query that the media frequently pose, and for obvious reasons. Of course, it would be nice to say, 'well, we detected three Type II civilizations last week, but they weren't especially interesting,' and sometimes I do this for effect."

Stop it, Seth! You're killing me!
