This is the first post in my new blog, filmscience. In keeping with the title, this blog will attempt to constrain itself to the very broad topics of all things film*, all things science, and sometimes the intersection of the two.
This blog is a reflection of my suspicion that science geeks and film geeks have a very high overlap- which may include (among others) all scientists that like watching (or making) films, all film professionals that are highly technical, and all fans of science fiction or science-oriented documentaries. I suspect the interwebs are crawling with folks like this... like me.
I have been involved in film production now and again, but mostly I'm a fan.
In terms of science, it's all fair game. That said, my interests tend to focus on psychology, energy harvesting/scavenging, all things space exploration, data analysis/visualization, nanotechnology, advanced material science, sensor networks, entomology, AI, electronics, the "maker" and "hacker" movement, adruino, energy accounting systems, medicine, and robots.
My background is mostly in biology and social sciences, but I'm interested in all of it.
I hope to use this as a forum to collect news and other information on these topics, have some discussion, and occasionally write down some thoughts. It's largely for my benefit and reference - but if others enjoy it, all the better.

* While I am definitely film-oriented (as "filmscience" may imply), there's no point in trying to meticulously avoid or shun television here. Why would I want to disrespect the medium that brought us Mythbusters, Battlestar Gallactica, and TNG? So, while I won't focus on TV, it's not taboo...
