What I love about this story is that it demonstrates the grit and determination of a guy to get his dream alive despite having no financial cushion to do it from. I actually get sick and tired of hearing the mantras of "don't take funding, its best to bootstrap" from people who have so much money it doesn't even enter their thoughts that people like this guy are scraping just to get by. I think there are issues with using freelance work to cover a startup - but if it is the only option you got then you take it. I certainly bet he'll worker harder then the many founders I have known who's company was essentially floated from Daddy's money or the trust fund, etc.
