Yes, I've been visiting online artist forums for a while now. I think a number of people here are familiar to me.
Making a living in Silicon Valley? I know what you mean. ;-) I made a living (a pretty good one) for a long time as a computer game artist. I'm keeping my irons in that fire to some extent, since I do freelance game work still, as well as general computer graphics and website design.
The tech slowdown pushed me out of full-time work a while ago, I took the opportunity to get back to fine art, and here I am. Commissioned portraiture fits my style and personality well and it's one of the best ways I know to get actual money for my art. At this point in my life, I've quit analyzing every step and minimizing risk; sometimes you just have to go for it! :-)
