Plans for remaining of the year

It's been awhile since I've last posted anything. I've been rather busy with my day job and hence the lack of posting for *ahem* 2 years...

However I've not been complacent and have actually been actively brainstorming/observing trying to come out with ideas on my next project. Projects not specifically related to iOS devices though (Not trying to limit what I can come out with) The projects would be detailed in their respective posts later.

With the ideas in my head, I guess it would soon be time for me to execute the ideas that I have into actual products and hopefully businesses. I've been reflecting upon my career so far and it does seems that my execution skills definitely isn't up to par to create a compelling product that millions would love to use. I.e. LessChart and LessChart HD functional but lacks the 'wow' factor. Seems to me that my strong point is being the dreaded 'ideas' guy, I can think of new ways of doing things in terms of human/computer interactions (At least that's what I think), but sad to say not having the chops to be able to create a compelling product based on that.

Therefore for the new projects, I'm contemplating to outsource the development of the products. But as we know getting quality developers is very difficult now. And frankly my budget of 20K might not be in line with market rate. On the flip side of the coin, if I were to do it myself it would most likely be a half baked product.

Emails to developers have been less than encouraging. Most are currently being engaged with other projects or they are located remotely and I might not have the time/energy to liase with someone remote with my day job demanding my full attention.

So guys if you know of developers interested in joining forces with my projects (Project1, Project2) please let me know. I'm located in Singapore by the way. AKA trying to look for a partner/co-founder for things to come.....Not that I do not have friends in IT, just that the climate here is such that most capable developers would have to move on to management as the income ceiling is very low.
