Ask HN: Remote Internships?

I'm a sophomore CS student in the upper midwest and I'm looking for an internship for summer 2012. I'm a very passionate student and love absolutely every part of my CS schooling so far. I hope to one day either start my own company or work with someone in starting their own. My school is research-oriented and don't promote starting your own company so experience with a startup would be a great asset to me and to solidify my intended career path. My top goal for a job next summer would be to work at a startup in the Bay Area but this goal brings some problems:

1. It's expensive to get to the Bay Area and apartment prices are ridiculous (compared to our average here). I'm not the wealthiest student in the world. I would love take a net loss for the summer just for the experience but I can't afford it.

2. Being in the upper midwest offers very little for CS-type internships other than the few "throw you in a cubicle and make documentation" positions.

What would be nice, for me, is a remote internship (or to have enough relocation assistance or pay to help disperse the cost of moving for the summer). The problem there is not many people advertise these kinds of jobs. I've inquired with a few companies but many are looking for in-house interns and don't offer any relocation assistance.

Does anyone here know of any good leads for a remote internship for the summer?
