some of you may have heard about the guy who made a million dollars on the internet just by selling advertising space on a blank website well this is the next one of those 'i wish i thought that' websites. i read about this guy in the guardian the other day. basically this kyle macdonald wants to swap a red paperclip for a house. obciously no one in his right mind would make that trade so he's trading his way up. he swapped the paperclip for a pen, the pen for a doorknob, the doorknob for an old barbucue and so on. today he has just swapped a van for professional recording sessions. i think jnow he is getting more famous he will definately get his house soon. i quite like the idea of trading for stuff. as i said last week i managed to knacker my fridge. one of the places i tried to get a replacement was freecycle. if you haven't heard of the idea freecycle have local groups where you can give away stuff you no longer need or ask to see if anyone else has certain items. nice ideas i think.

I'll swap you some old uno cards for your ipod.
Have you heard of "freecycle?" It's a service on the internet where you get things or give things for free, no strings attached. No swapping allowed.
yeah, i mention freecycle at the end of the post. haven't found anything ( or given anything on it yet). i lived with i guty once who professed to be a freegan. He tried to live off the (perfectly fine and wrapped) food that supermarkets throw out at the end of the day
Ah, you caught me commenting without reading to the end!
