Geniuses in the streets

Apple StoreHere’s one you can file under “heart-warming.” From a recent post on Gizmodo:

Andy Bussell works as a Genius at an Apple Store in California by day. By night, he is homeless. It’s not that Apple doesn’t pay livable wages — no, Andy is homeless by choice. He decided to start sleeping in his truck once he realized he was wasting all his money on rent and had credit card and school bills burying him. Now he’s getting ready to graduate and has nearly paid off his $10,000 worth of credit card debt.
Not the typical Apple Genius living arrangements I usually imagine (An apartment where every surface is brushed metal). You have to respect a guy who is trying to conserve funds, while spending most of his day at an Apple Store. Whenever I even walk by the entrance on an Apple store, my bank account contracts a bit. Still, the location of his chosen field of endeavor may give the keen reader a clue as to how he may have found himself in this situation in the first place.
