One red paperclip
As a fan of the paperclip I couldn't help notice this story:
Man turns paper clip into house
Taking a paper clip and turning it into a house sounds like a cheesy magic trick or a phony instance of resourcefulness on the 1980s TV show "MacGyver."
By Brian Bergstein Associated Press
People work on the house that Kyle MacDonald bartered a red paper clip for in Kipling, Saskatchewan, Canada. MacDonald will take ownership of the three-bedroom, 1,100-square-foot building Wednesday.
Kyle MacDonald, however, has pulled it off. One year ago, the 26-year-old blogger from Montreal set out to barter one red paper clip for something and that thing for something else, over and over again until he had a house.
Read the rest.
Way to go Kyle!

This is an awesome story. Fortunately, for people who would like to do the same sort of thing without going to all the trouble of setting up and maintaining their own blog and what not, there's already a website that will let you do this sort of stuff.
It may or may not be what you're looking for, but could be usefull:

I guess he has sparked an idea.
Only in America.
Hey Kell. I've obviously been out of town for awhile and don't get on the web too often, but thank you for keeping my blog warm.
Be back soon...

Hi kelly, I've been blogging on stumble upon. Here is the URL http://johnroper.stumbleupon.com/
I have an idea for an article on my blogspot blog, but I'm still in the thinking process.
See you later!
I've been on a bit of a sabbatical with my blog, as well. I have had many ideas...but not much time to write them up.
BTW..John R....we are the same age...I think I might have mentioned that before...not sure.
It's done, Kelly.
