"All the News That's Fit to Print"

Yup. Apparently, I'm fit to print. The New York Times put together a nice little paragraph about one red paperclip in the 'What's Online' portion of the Business Section. You can read all about it right here: (look below the KFC bit ....) http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/12/business/media/12online.html So that was cool, it even kinda fits into my personal motto: "Always look past the fried chicken." In additional self-plugging news, a few days ago I went to the 'Hot Sites' section of the USA Today website looking for a way to submit a link about one red paperclip ...when I stumbled across a fun little treat: www.usatoday.com/tech/hotsites/11-10-hotsites.htm I guess I'll need to update the site with a warning at the top: "Caution, contents are hot." That should be fun. If you see an artice about one red paperclip, don't hesitate to share! have fun, Kyle PS - NYCers I'm at the Holiday Inn in New York with the generator. I want to trade it! Send me an offer! I've got my car here! I can deliver it to your place! I'll even bring you some fried chicken! oneredpaperclip@gmail.com

hi kyle,
i am the illustrator that does the artwork for the 'what's online' column in the new york times. during the sketching phase, i presented some versions that featured you and your paperclip. there are a few people involved in the process, and the decision was to go with the drawing of doughnut chickens. although these sketches did not become the final, i did want you to know that i spent some time drawing paperclips last week, thus you rank right up there with fried chicken in my book.

good luck with your paperclip endeavor,
alex eben meyer.
