I see two potential next steps:
1) I agree with the other commenters that finding a programmer would be smart. Some places to find such a technical co-founder are:
+ http://www.linkedin.com/ http://www.linkedin.com/ - Go through your network, or do a search for programmers with potentially an entrepreneurial streak. This will take some time and might even cost you some money for their premium account (so you can email people not directly connected to you). You could also join some LinkedIn groups, lurk for a bit, and see if you can find any good fits.
+ http://www.builditwith.me/ http://www.builditwith.me/ - This is a new site and I'm not sure how effective it is. But it's an interesting premise and might not hurt to try.
+ http://founderdating.com/ http://founderdating.com/ - This is also a new service and is limited to a handful of cities. If you happen to be in one of the upcoming locations, you could give it a try as well.
+ http://news.ycombinator.com/ http://news.ycombinator.com/ - I figured I'd just throw this one out there too. I'm not sure how effective it would be, but conceivably, you could find a technical co-founder here as well.
2) ig1 also brought up a great second option. Try to raise some funding so you can hire a programmer or development team. There are lots of ways to raise seed funding: equity on your mortgage, credit cards, friends & family, investments from those industry leaders, angel investors, etc. You can do some online searches to find a plethora of info out there.
Good luck!
