Ask HN: Yet another internship query

Reposting this again, seems like now these posts are getting more of a response. ---- So, I'm planning on doing my own startup after I graduate, but until then, I want to work during the summer. Last summer, I worked on REST APIs for the New York Times, but this summer it would be nice to work for a smaller company, doing something insanely cool. Is anybody doing cool work with Ruby (or Rails), bleeding-edge web-tech, HPC/Clustering, or something else cool? I've spoken to a few companies in NYC (where I am) but it seems like all the action is in the Bay Area - any companies there are especially interesting (um, I love warm weather). I've spoken to a few (mainly the big G) but I know lots of people in NY, but not so many in CA. My resume is online at http://ben.kudria.net/resume . My email is ben at-sign kudria point net (Helpful job search tips, or pointers to cool other companies also appreciated!)
