There are times I wish I was this creative. Lord knows I'd love a house or even a car that wasn't ready to fall apart.
Kyle MacDonald had a red paper clip and a dream: Could he use the community power of the Internet to barter that paper clip for something better, and trade that thing for something else — and so on and so on until he had a house?
His blog One Red Paper Clip takes you thru his journey so far.
