Any internships available that allow for telecommuting? The internship job market has been pretty dismal down here in southern California (specifically the Inland Empire).
To me, an internship is about learning how to work with people (or: how a business works) and meeting awesome people (or: making connections). Figure out what it actually means to ship a product, getting real world experience, etc. You can't do much of that if the only contact you have with the company is a Skype session every few days. Thats closer to freelancing than interning.
That said, if I didn't lose your interest, Justin.tv is looking for interns[1]. You should totally apply, if you're in the SF area. I can tell you firsthand that you'll have a great time and learn a ton -- I did an internship with them over the past summer. Feel free to shoot me an email if you have any questions.
Do companies near you have job openings* ? Send them an email asking if they'll consider an intern filling the spot instead.
*They probably do. Even if it's not advertised.
