Getting a min-sustain job in Valley?

Freelance at a software or marketing shop in the area. They'll often take part time work, especially if you have an expertise in a "hot" area. I would personally just pick up the phone and call some consultancies and ask to speak to the Director or VP Engineering, or even just ask for their email address.

Do you have a couple examples of these consultancies? That would really help me seed my search. Thanks a bunch for your response.

I don't know any in that area, I live in Dallas,TX. I would look at crunchbase under "serivces", eg:

Look on Linkedin for profiles similar to https://www.linkedin.com/company/dialexa (Company in Dallas is ~ 50 employees as software consultants).

Also, check sites like angel.co and email some founders there.

I would peruse cybercoders.com and dice.com and ping some recruiters there as a start mentioning that you're looking for part time work.

I'm actually thinking about making the transition out west too - we should talk. PM me.

As far as cash goes, have you considered freelancing?

Hey. I read your entire blog. I'd like to talk with you. We'll continue email conversation from this point, as you request - expect an email! Btw, I was pleasantly surprised by some of the stuff in your blog.

Edit: Are you familiar with the late Richard P. Feynman? He had some very brilliant things to say about teaching that I think you'll find interesting. You can find interviews on YouTube. He was one of the most creative physicists of all time.
