It lets me know when someone publicly mentions "Return of the Plankton" courtesy of google alerts. I'm glad you enjoyed what you saw. I also produce a TV series about what's underwater in the PNW, "SEA-Inside: Pacific Northwest." Check it out if you have cable. See: http://SEA-Inside.org for more info, where it's playing, etc. I'm just beginning to discover some of the bazillions of blogs out there. Overwhelming. It was fun to discover your surreal skipping over the tops of the trees of reality. The internet is an amazing ecosystem in itself.

The guy who made the Phytoplankton movie! Very cool that the link brought you here. I had to smile because my training in University was in Phycology and I do have a love for all things algae (despite my protestations of not being a filter feeder!) Despite living in the Pacific NW for over 25 years, I've never dived here. The clip of your show was enticing... John! The guy who made the Phytoplankton movie!

Science trades "food web" for "food chain" and people publish as well as consume. Maybe we can care for each other and for our environment better when we trade the system of subclasses for more egalitarian networks. Which is more important? Plankton or rocks? What a silly question! Reexamine everything! What a great idea!
