I keep asking my husband why he can't think of them either - so much for marrying a computer expert!!!

He didn't "start" a swapping website. He started swapping a red paperclip on Craig's List. It is a pretty cool idea... of course, now the poor schmuck has to move to Canada, lol.

Yeah. didn't he trade up to a house in a Saskatchewan town? Kipling or something. It really was a neat idea. Heard of this amazing idea? Couchsurfing (google it).

Yea I havent heard of him since. Did he get his house yet? Oh and as far as ideas and stuff go, Im sure you have thought of stuff like this beofre but were too afraid to go for it or post it on the internet or whatever. It takes one person to say "f*** it, Im gonna do it" then the rest is history.

Yes! I found that story absolutely amazing, especially when it got to the part about Alice Cooper and the KISS waterglobe...very interesting!

I heard about it. I sorta envy him. My advice to the guy. He would probably make a very successful businessman.
