SnagFilms

Documentaries have been a passion of mine for years now. I love educational, thought-provoking entertainment. Enjoy user driver content a lot, as well as free up-loaded films on the net. Snagfilms is super dope. Had the pleasure of watching docs today and they have some great ones. This prompted further researching clicks of Google and I was over-loaded by cool films that seem interesting. Saw "How to Cook Your Life" earlier through a similar site (super, super cool - they even have some of Jodorowsky collected from youtube). That last site is just a collector site of people loading films, which means a lot don't work or bad quality, but there are gems in the rough though.

The main reason Snagfilms really fits with this blog is the fact that so far I've watched two episodes of a PBS Series about Design, green building and permaculture focused design that is. It's called (e squared). The idea of super efficient buildings really inspires me. What's happening in China these days really hits me hard. I can't wait to one day go there, even face the pollution for the chance to work in efficiency housing design and implementation. These shows are a great revelation for anyone who hasn't heard of McDonough or Cradle to Cradle yet. I do have to admit that I admire McDonough a lot and it seems like such a wonderful revolutionary job and truly inspiring. You'll probably read me saying it over and over, but I love TED (Technology Entertainment Design ideas worth spreading).
