Living Buildings & Green Realities with Ethan Timm (Updated)
The first 'active conversation' of the 2nd season of the activefree podcast is with college friend Ethan Timm, an Architectural Designer for SERA Architects in Portland, Oregon.
Among other things, the conversation includes his professional experience with one of the buildings in Cascadia's Living Building Challenge, his personal challenges of lenolium floors in his "green" house, and his interestingly cautionary views on the green product design craze.
He also mentioned the Kill-a-Watt, which is a simple product that measures how much energy your appliances are costing (you might be surprised).
Note: This version has updated audio which is a much better listening experience than the one uploaded last week.

Ebb & Flow's "The Great Turning" Video
An interesting holiday produced video by the site Ebb & Flow called The Great Turning. The video uses the CCmixter song "Mind Field" by DJ Blue, which is one of the now over 20 remixes of the 1999 spoken word piece A New System.
Check out the full credits for the video on Kent and Jen's Ebb & Flow blog.

In December, I picked up the cover of the Year in Ideas from the New York Times Magazine, and thought that the ideas seemed interesting so I read them over some beats as a spoken word piece and shared it on CCmixter.

Culture "Premixed" for Collaboration
Over the last few years, I released free a cappella tracks of song fragments through the popular remix site CCmixter.org, explicitly ‘premixed’ (prepared for remixing) for producers to build on my words and music. Over 60+ remixes later, I am releasing the best 10 tracks commercially, sharing the revenues with the producers, and helping to build the market for open source music.
Check out the Premixed Story video that shares how this unique album came to life.
Listen to samples, read the press release, and buy the album at colinmutchler.com. Currently, the album is available at iTunes and Napster.
