Weird US Market

I've been trying to find some gig in New England since November and I got positively no bite.

The only outfit doing Embedded Linux contracts seems to be Bôse in Framingham and not much else. Something was happening on Washington St in downtown Boston but no bite.

I've never experienced this before... usually it was enough to raise my hand to land a gig paying my rate (which is basically the market rate). Perhaps this is due to the uncertainty following the elections?

It seems that there's the same vibe going on as in May-Jun of 2008.
