Blogging achieves the impossible: How a paper clip landed a house

The red paper clip has taken on a whole new meaning for Kyle MacDonald.

On July 12, 2005, Kyle, from Montreal posted on his first blog entry his quest to trade up, step by step by step, from a single, normal, red paper clip to a house. This might sound absurd, almost impossible to achieve.
