Joe - there is a ton of opportunity near you - San Diego, Orange County, LA...I suggested Santa Monica because it's a hot spot of hot spots right now - at least for start-up oriented people. I mentioned CoLoft, because the owners are fantastic and have a lot of great events going on. Go to them and check it out. They have a website - get involved in a meeting or two. I know the drive is long, but it will ultimately be worth it. You may have to endure it for a few months, maybe not so long. The investment of time, if you can get from point a to point b, is worth it.
I looked at your iPhone app (via YouTube). Why is this not released yet? What's holding it up? It's a basic app, but it demonstrates you can write an iPhone app - and that market is REALLY hot, EVERYWHERE. You should be able to get remote gigs as a contractor pretty easily. Your best bet is to release it and then promote yourself. Release it and then post back here that you released it. You'll get good feedback (like: left align the categories, right align the totals, or something like that).
You really do have a lot of opportunity all around you. I was a bit insensitive in my prior post. For all I know you CAN'T get out of the house. Shame on me for that. If you need help, let me know. I will not hold your hand and give you every single detail, but I will provide enough info or suggestions to get you moving in the right direction so that you can get in front of the opportunities if you're willing and able.
