Homeless Nashville Blogger
Salon profiles Kevin Barbieux, the Nashville homeless man who uses a public library computer to update his daily Internet weblog, which he says is aimed at destroying the negative stereotypes of homelessness. Barbieux's personal journal has made him an online celebrity as people read about his trip to the symphony on a donated ticket, and his feelings about local soup kitchens and homeless shelters. "My intention is to legitimize homeless people, to show them as worthy of being treated like human beings, with compassion, acceptance, and assistance," Barbieux writes on his site. One of these days I'm gonna locate his site, visit, and tell you what I think.
