Where are you based out of? At least here in the Ann Arbor/Detroit area the demand for good developers/interns is huge, and it seems most people that want a software job around here have one.

My best advice would be try to get involved in local startup/entrepreneurship events if you have such things. Connect with the community, in my experience everyone is happy to talk to others about what they're working on - they won't bite :). Talk to people about their needs and your skills. Good luck!
