Thanks. I have a full-time job and am only looking to freelance here and there, and I've had a harder time getting rates anywhere near my full-time salary "rate". I've used it as a way to get into different types of technology and create a portfolio, instead of a real income. However, I won't spend my free time dealing with a difficult client for relatively low pay - I'd rather work on a personal project for free...

yet another software developer, trying to sharpen the saw.
I've found odesk.com to be heavily favored towards cheap labor, is that just because I haven't established a portfolio there yet?
OK, thanks - makes me feel a little better. I was originially thinking "Where do people get 100 hours in a weekend? Wives/children/pets must be on vacation...". But I realize it's probably more like weekends, plural. I've got a side project going to learn Django and Python - you're work inspired me to throw Bootstrap in there too.
Anyway, nice job!
When people say weekend project, do they typically mean this took 20 hours or so? About how long did this take you, mping? (Just wondering, because I feel I'm very slow with personal projects - mostly because I usually work in 2 hour blocks or so)
Agreed - that would be interesting to see cost of living weighed in. Speaking from experience, Suffolk/Nassau counties in NY may have higher salaries - but the cost of living is rough (e.g. property taxes).
Campbell County, Wyoming. Just as I suspected!
This is great, thanks. What technology did you use for the map and parsing the census data?
UPDATE: Looks like this js library was used http://mbostock.github.com/d3/ex/choropleth.html
This is a completely serious question: does mobile opera have a large enough user base to include support for at the MVP stage?
