The common thread here is cool, geeky guys (loons?!) who have creatively used blogging and/or a basic web site as a media-savvy means to an end. Fame? Yes. Fortune? Not for all concerned.....yet, but in the future....perhaps.
My mate Mavis did it 'Greeting The 500', Kyle MacDonald's doing it superbly with 'One Red Paperclip' where his goal is to trade a, er, red paperclip for a house whilst Winter's goal has been to visit every single Starbucks worlwide (!!!) and yes, 'Starbucking' the movie/doc. is on the way. Similarly, 'ASDA-man', 80 year old Richard Bunn recently finished a 15 year mission trekking to ALL 265 ASDA supermarkets in the UK (spending nearly £20K in petrol doing so)!!!
Lest we forget super-smart student Alex Tew whose cyber-spark of an idea, 'The Million Dollar Homepage', a web site geared to sell a million pixels, minted him over that amount in just over 4 months - genius!
Any bright inspirations (of course I require the obligatory blog!) to do something with my huge (35,000+/fully catelogued) CD collection? At present, I'm stumped. Ideas/deals/offers/bets most welcome here......!!!
