Steve Jobs wannabe Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes is still in black. Only at the pre-trial court hearing it wasn't the signature black turtleneck. It was a basic black dress and black blazer.

The average rent in San Jose, according to Axiometrics is $2,500. The seduction of Silicon Valley is huge. We ghostwriters, even on the Other Coast, play with the idea of taking a crack at the market. All those thought leaders, all those passionate entrepreneurs, all those instant billionaires. What a God's Plenty of clients. The cost of entry, though, is steep. Here is coverage of the rental pricing situation by Lauren Hepler in the Silicon Valley Business Journal.

This is occurring when the Denver Post, San Jose Mercury News, and Orange County Register are also in the fight for their lives. Yet another media outlet with a print legacy admits it's dancing on the rim of extinction. At The Salt Lake Tribune, owner Paul Hunstman announced the business is laying off 1/3rd the newsroom. Its attempted pivot to more digital hasn't been as successful as hoped. A hero in all that has been Paul Rolly.

Meanwhile, the longer-term existence of once powerful brandnames in journalism, ranging from the San Jose Mercury News to the Orange County Register, is also in peril. Loyalists to the old-line print newspaper industry are fighting to keep them alive. The battle for the life of the Denver Post has gone high-profile. The business issue, though, is: Do those newspapers have a right to die - that is, after milking them for profit.

The media outlets already scheduling the cuts or indicating they will in the near future include: Denver Post. Chicago Tribune. East Bay Times. OC Register. Los Angles Daily News. The reductions-in-force (RIFs) are horrific developments for writers.

There will be a hearing on November 15th in San Jose, CA. There are myriad stealth ways to discriminate against the aging in recruiting, hiring, promoting, and termination. The tactics range from primarily scouting on college campuses to putting a cap on experience. In what could be a landmark class action lawsuit against Google Inc., the contention is that the corporation leverages the concept of "Googleness" to knock older applicants out of the box.

The San Jose Mercury-News offers an approach that nods to the trite nature of most commencement speeches : a fill-in-the-blanks "Mad Libs" style speech , with words you can choose from to fill in the blanks, leaving almost nothing to choice. I've never given a commencement speech, but as a college senior, I judged the entries from fellow students who wanted to speak, along with a committee of faculty.

I also checked out San Jose, California. Leased Access TV Did you know that you can buy a half hour of air time on a cable station for as little as $15.00? This is not pie in the sky or hocus pocus. This is “leased access” TV. The government mandates rates for one channel on all cable stations in the USA. Of course, the cable companies hate this, but they really don’t have a choice in the matter.
