sad

I figured this might be happening, but this is the first actual story I've read about the cyber-homeless. This kid lives in New York City, and spends every day at Starbucks chatting with ladies online. That's all he does. At night he goes to a nearby 24-hour Kinko's and sleeps upright in a chair. In the morning he bathes at a local church, and then heads back to Starbucks, lugging his desktop computer with him.

Sad, but amazing. There's a rich sociological study somewhere in here.
