This is the strategy I'm currently implementing. I've been doing freelance work while working on research with physiological sensors as computer input.

You'll need two things to get started doing this sort of thing: standing out as a member of your community so people come to you, and an understanding of business needs.

If you really want to make the switch, shoot me an email. I'll give you some tips on making the transition.

So, I can't find your email. I checked your profile and your blog. I can follow you on twitter or whatever you like, but your advice would be extremely valuable.

Sounds like you could write publicly about this, it sounds fascinating :-)
