Silicon Valley Lottery (yes, it's bad news)

One of my housemates just drew the dreaded pink slip in the Silicon Valley lottery. He's a technical writer with a solid command of FrameMaker; he's documented hardware, software, and web stuff for engineers and end users. Degree in chemistry. Any openings out there?

This is particularly difficult, because Paul and I are the ones with steady jobs (and he makes a good bit more than I do). Michele is doing contract work and will probably be out of work as of February 28, and Sonja is in college.

Any prayers, networking, or whatever would be deeply appreciated.
