Did you ever hear about that guy who traded a red paperclip for a house? Well, I'm that guy. Hi. My name is Kyle. I grew up in Belcarra, near Vancouver. I live in Montreal now with my wife Dominique. My whole life I've been real big on projects. Usually fun things that take on an obsessive element to some degree. Most noteworthy of these projects was the time I started with a red paperclip and traded it for bigger and better things until I wound up with a house. You may have heard about this already. In this paragraph perhaps! Anyhow, It was a silly idea and it kinda turned out to be a big deal I guess.  So big that the red paperclip has become my de-facto symbol and I'm somewhat known as "the red paperclip guy." It makes for a pleasant ice-breaker whenever the topic of "so what do you do" comes up. But I'll let you in a little secret. I've never had a personal fetish for paperclips, even red ones. In fact, the best thing I ever did was trade that silly red paperclip away in the first place! Such is life. To me, a 'red paperclip' is more of a symbolic thing, an idea that you're ready to launch. A new project about to happen. That spark of insight or inspiration. The most important thing about an idea is to do something with it.  It's all quite metaphorical and I could get really deep, but we'll have plenty of time for that later. Please peruse though this site and I hope you find some stuff you enjoy. I try to have fun doing things, and a vast part of that fun is doing stuff and creating things others get a kick out of. Here's some stuff I do in real life and on the web:
