 | Older readers, of whom by now I imagine I have none, may recall my love of sites that encourage the young people not to do young people things. The high watermark of this unlovely genus is without a doubt Freevibe, in which the animated adventures of a group of ethnically diverse teenagers demonstrate the inadvisability of doing drugs.
For future reference, unreported spousal abuse is my anti-drug.
Anyway, although I have been a bit remiss in following the only incidentally drug-crazed adventures of Bitter Hope, a new tribute to not doing it for the kids has caught my attention. Also, my heart.
Websafecrackers. It's sexy. It's texty. It's morally inflexy. Apparently SMS lingo is the way to win the kids over.
Obviously, it's a laudable aim, but it is oddly catholic in its objectives. Not talking to strangers in chat rooms good. But flaming? Annoying though flaming is, is it really a case for intervention? One one level, this stinks of Redmond social engineering. On another, it's just too groovy vicar for words.
Meanwhile, I sleepwalked throuqh today somewhat, albeit with style and flair. Late night last night... And for the second night running, the unusual sense of being accompanied home.
No, not like that. Obviously. Just people who happen to live nearby.
