There were oil painters and water color specialists. They created some of the famous art and drawing there is.
Then came blood drawings. This topic is more apt given we are heading into the Halloween night.
There are some parallels in what the current crop of silicon valley scammers are attempting to the ritualistic blood drawing done by the erstwhile Count of Transylvania.
Theranos, a valley startup is in the spot light (I am not sure there is any lime involved so lime light sounds too tart) as a company that came up with a new blood draw sampling technique that would eliminate large scale tube filling prevalent today, to find your platelete counts or why the RBC and WBC were misbehaving and if your liver was about to croak.
The Theranos idea was to do a pin prick on the finger and be done. Not so fast. Recent reviews called the start up out on their fairy tale claims and the turtle neck wearing founder and CEO was caught like a deer in headlights. That she has that as her everyday natural look is confusing to the random observer because it takes away from the whole 'deer in headlight' analogy.
But that aside this drawing is not going to look good if they 'frame' her.
A whos who on the Board of Directors seems to have quickly distanced themselves from this newest valley brilliance.
