It seems like the kind of work that would benefit a lot for the person to be
on location to interact directly with the rest of the team. Darn. It would
be nice to work from Minnesota.:)
Now that that facebook movie is out and so popular, they are probably
prepared to pay a lot for someone very experienced in the technologies
listed. I actually don't think I'm interested as I know a smattering of the
list, but not in depth enough that I'd feel comfortable working with all of
them in that setting. I do think a blind programmer would be perfect for
this job, both technically and commercially.

Honestly, with a position like that: judging from what I've heard about
other similar appointments. If you're ok with frequent flier
miles, then they'll be able to work with you. At least other corporations
have been with other colleagues of mine.
Take care,
Sina
