My name is Kyle MacDonald and I traded one red paperclip for a house. I started with one red paperclip on July 12 2005 and 14 trades later, on July 12, 2006 I traded with the Town of Kipling Saskatchewan for a house located at 503 Main Street. (Click on pictures below to read about each trade!)

Just signed up for a space on MySpace. If you're into that sort of thing, let 'er rip http://www.myspace.com/oneredpaperclip As of right now, I've got 1 "friend". Dane Cook has 793516. Dane Cook has more friends. Dane Cook rules. It must seem like I'm killing time with these posts, but the truth is, I ain't. Currently working on a one red paperclip book proposal and setting up stuff behind the scenes for the trip to Yahk. Hey! Check this out! It looks like the petition did the trick and The Hour on CBC Newsworld is going to do a live show from Yahk in early Feb! This is so awesome, I can't wait to chill with George Stroumboulopoulos in Yahk and witness the end of his hypnotic spell on live TV. Looks like a lot of fun stuff over the next couple of weeks around these parts. Lots of fun stuff planned. The phone is ringing off the hook. I did seven radio interviews today - a new record. Two in Ontario. One in New York. One in Texas. One in Quebec. One in Australia. One in Indiana. Big fun all around. If you want one cube van, fire me an offer and I'll either take you up on it or write a super-radical comment about it on the offers page. Oh, and it's my mom's birthday today. Swing on over to her blog and wish her a happy birthday! have fun, Kyle

Is Dane a friend?

Which Ontario stations were you on? Any chance of posting audio clips?

Keep at it, Kyle! What a ride...

And I don't just mean the Cube Van.

Hey, just stopped on your blog. I am also a writer - short stories, poems, and books. I have also sold on street corners and door to door. At one point I published my own small newspaper and handed it on street corners for free - I tried to make money by selling ads and subscriptions. I have graduated from the street corner and now I have self published two books. I have been selling them door to door and store to store. I haven't sold a million copies yet but I have sold enough to self-publish my third book. It will be a book of short stories. Nobody knows me but I'm having fun. Check out my blog - thehobophilosopher - You sure know all the techniques of bloging. Your site looks great!

Hi,
My name's Kate Reid and I'm a student at the University of BC. I'm researching Yahk for one of my Canadian Lit classes and think this George debacle would be a nice centrepiece for my work. Do you know exactly when the episode of The Hour is going to air? That'd really help me out. Thanks!
