Yeah, he's a friend and very good at what he does. We worked together over a year ago. I've been talking to him for awhile about this new project but he's just too busy. I understand. Life gets in the way sometimes.

Good to know about oDesk and the like.

I am located in Bend, Oregon but moving (back) to the Bay Area very soon. So I will obviously be in a developer-rich area. (My friend/developer is located in SF.)

Thanks for your advice - it's much appreciated.
