Is there such a thing as sharing clipboard contents across a home
peer-to-peer?

Sort of. If you're willing to switch IM networks to Jabber, you can log in
to the same JID multiple times with different resources, then send an IM to
yourself on the specific resource that you want to paste to.

I'm sure there many work arounds, pasting into a file and transferring the
file and clipping the file at the other computer, etc. I could have sworn
I read somewhere that with some utility or whatever you could clip on
machine 1 and it would appear in the clipboard of machine 2. Or maybe
with a certain click it would transfer the clip to the other machine's
clipboard.

The following open source project just automates that.

Check out
http://sourceforge.net/projects/clipboardmshare
or
http://clipboardmshare.sourceforge.net/

You share a folder on one of the computers, and this little program
just pastes your text data into a text file there, and same program on
the other computer grabs it and put on your clipboard.

It'll require .NET v2 runtime though. Hope this helps!

Not that I'm aware of; as far as I know, Jabber's the only thing that's
planned for that contingency thus far. I could be wrong, but even if I am,
Jabber's still a great infinitely extensible personal pastebin among other
things.
